No, it's not. When my sister was in her teens she was having the usual disagreements with my parents. Just rebellious teen stuff really but about that time she got some new friends. they sympathized with her, told her how our parents were wrong and mistreating her. They took her places, gave her gifts, took her to their church and disconnected her from any non-witness friends she had. When my parents and grandparents learned who these people were they were horrified because they knew what JW's were all about. The situation got worse. Her new friends manipulated her away from her friends and family. I haven't been able to even talk to her in 20 years because as non-witnesses we've all been shunned. These fucking vultures brainwashed my sister and I applaud Russia for this. They're all smiles and sunshine on the outside but selfish, narrow, minded, arrogant and manipulative on the inside. I don't deny freedom of religion but this is a manipulative cult. Fuck every last one of these two-faced, brain washing pricks.
