I was raised Jehovah's Witness, in fact my mother and step father are Jehovah's Witnesses. My stepfather is an extremely respected elder in his congregation and he and I often have conversations about the faith. I can tell you after studying Islam as part of my religious studies and speaking to Muslims over the years that Islam is a bit more strict on things. For example, Jehovah's Witnesses can drink alcohol (in moderation, of course) while it is expressively forbidden in Islam.

Incidentally, I stopped going to Kingdom Hall (Jehovah's Witness church) sometime around puberty and began to study all sorts of other religions. I eventually settled down and converted to Catholicism when I was about 21.

I can also say that it wasn't Jehovah's Witnesses fault he turned out so creepy. Maybe he'll find some inner peace and sanity through all of this.
