Another book (slightly more humorous than the previous recommendation & this guy was in their Brooklyn headquarters)

Regarding door-to-door (oh god,
the indoctrinating song is still in my head), ostensibly it's because "
Jesus told his followers to “make disciples of people of all the nations.” (Matthew 28:19, 20) When he sent out his early disciples, Jesus directed them to go to the homes of the people. (Matthew 10:7, 11-13)."
Even after exiting, I don't think the leaders are duplicitous - they base their beliefs on a flawed text & the problems are compounded by isolationism and legalism.
Oh, and the "we believe in Jesus" thing is a little simplistic - with JWs, there is no trinity - Jesus is not God, simply a son of God and an
angel.
Haven't gotten to the most troubling aspects of the religion yet - refusal to accept blood transfusions and sticking to scripture which requires more than
one witness to a crime - which has resulted in untold suffering to child abuse victims.
