Hey Cos JW's are quite similar to Mormons in this respect. At the same time as they claim to represent true Christianity, they either twist or outright reject most of the major and basic doctrines of Christianity. For instance JW's deny the bodily resurrection and the divinity of Jesus Christ. If Jesus didn't rise physically from the dead then every other claim that Christians make is false.
In that sense we would refer to LDS and JWs as non Christian cults, from a theological perspective. Both of the aforementioned groups also have a high degree of legalism and mind control that would lend consideration to them being considered a cult from a sociological perspective as well. You will find very few JW's on the web discussing their beliefs because they are simply not allowed to by their leaders.

It may seem like some sort of copyright disagreement to you but the Bible takes false teaching very seriously, since it not only deceives people here in this life but also has eternal consequences as well.

I have a friend who teaches about Mormonism on a college level from a Christian perspective. What I told you can be documented if you are interested. Let me know.
