Staggered by Johovah's Witnesses

I knew that Jehovah Witnesses where extreme but had no idea it went this far:

Mothers came to my door with their young children age about five to persuade me to accept a tract from their child. I declined.

 In return I tried to pursuade them to accept a children's book for the little girl from me as this is one of my interests at the moment. I offered "Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson which I've read aloud and put on Youtube here.

Because the story involves a witch they declined. It seems that witches are taboo: something Jehovah Witnesses associate with Halloween. So I then offerred The Snail and the Whale by the same author. By contast this was accepted with gratitude.

 I am staggered that Jehovah Witnesses have been brainwashed to this extreme and find it worrying that we have people living amongst us with such irrational views. What else do they believe that may lead to more worrying conclusions. Would they be concerned that their children talked to a strange man who thought that Julia Donaldson's witches were actually quite fun. Would he be seen as evil and someone to be treated the the way they see as appropriate for evil people?
