What? That many of these exist or that they are necessarily bad?
If the former, then yes, I experienced many of them. If the latter, then not necessarily, though mileage certainly varies from person to person.
My experience is that a lot of the things on that list are things people actively seek out for themselves. They want someone outside themselves to give them structure and rigidity and a filter through which to view the world.
They don't necessarily get this from religion. I've seen it political groups, fraternal organizations, heck even a bowling league.
But from the list and my experience with JWs (which, admittedly, was from the perspective of an observant teenager):
1) Internal Control:
Depends on how some of the terms are defined. Seemed a pretty egalitarian group overall but there is definitely a somewhat mysterious power organization at the top in the Watchtower Organization in New York. But at the local level I didn't see a lot of overt control.
2) External Control:
JW's explicitly eschew the worldly political process so to the extent that you are discouraged from participating there is a lot. But on the other hand, beyond fighting for their ability to do what they think it is right they generally leave everybody else alone. One thing about JW's, regardless of how they feel about it personally they'll never vote against gay marriage.
3) Wisdom/Knowledge Claimed by leader(s):
Pretty strong. Not infallible but presented as simply well educated and having seen through the dusty encrustation of two millennia of religious decay.
Of course, it holds that the bible is directly inspired by god, but pretty much all Christian faiths go with that idea.
4) Wisdom/Knowledge Credited to leader(s) by members:
A lot of trust in the interpretation of leaders and this was something I was most uncomfortable with. Very little dogmatic discussion, just point to a cite and that is that.
5) Dogma:
Yes, rigid.
6) Recruiting:
Yes, evangelical.
7) Front Groups:
Not so far as I know, but if they're hidden I wouldn't.
8) Wealth:
There was no mandatory financial participation though there were the standard contribution boxes in the Kingdom Halls. I'm sure there is plenty of money floating around but it isn't an ostentatious faith. If the leaders are living like royalty they kept it to themselves.
9) Sexual Manipulation of members by leader(s) of non-tantric groups:
I have no idea about the sexual politics of the group but I never saw it playing an official role. Never heard anything about "bad" sexual practices between married people and any sexual practices between unmarried people would be bad.
10) Sexual Favoritism:
It is a patriarchal organization but within most day-to-day operation surprisingly egalitarian in function.
11) Censorship:
None that I ever experienced. Watched TV and movies like everybody else. Could read whatever I wanted. To the extent that there is "censorship" it is probably passive in keeping you so busy that there isn't time for consuming a lot of popular culture (if you're really active you'll be spending 5 days a week involved in activities).
Then there is the passive censorship of wanting to do what everybody else is doing.
12) Isolation:
My experience is that this varies a lot from person to person. I don't think there is a lot of formal pressure to isolate yourself but perhaps it is of a more passive type that I never really noticed.
And of course, there is the issue of being part of a very active specifically targetted social group that tends to exclude people. If you're book club meets six days a week and you have scheduled five hour trips to Barnes & Noble every Sunday then even without explicitly cutting out the non-readers you're not going to be spending a lot of time with them.
13) Dropout Control:
My experience is that it is very easy to drop out. If you can take the sudden severing from the social group.
14) Violence:
Never heard of any. JWs are pretty much a pacifistic group.
15) Paranoia:
A fair amount of this. Of course, it helps that there really was, and is, persecution. JWs were in the concentration camps with Jews and homosexuals under Hitler. Many countries have suppressed JWs. It is a strong Christian tradition to view antagonism as evidence of being on the right track.
But it isn't so much paranoia as reveling in it.
16) Grimness:
I suppose they'd be considered humorless. But I think it is more that they really don't care what outside groups think of them.
17) Surrender of Will:
None that I experienced but this is another one where some people seem to have had a wildly difference experience than I did.
18) Hypocrisy:
I found this to be minimal. Again, if the leaders were living a different life then I didn't hear about it. But JWs have a very strong tradition of standing up for their beliefs in the face of some pretty serious confrontation, quite a few landmark First Amendment cases in the U.S. started because of JWs. And being conscientious objectors during WWI and WWII was not nearly so acceptable as it has become in recent wars.
