My, my, a cracked gramophone record. If you examine your previous posts, David, you will find that you generally do not answer questions in a very direct manner.

Wiki on sects: "in modern culture can refer to any organization that breaks away from a larger one to follow a different set of rules and principles".

The founder of your sect was born into the Presbyterian Church and then became a Congregationist. He broke away from mainstream Christian principles to follow a different set of rules and principles. JWs are nonetheless an organisation which believes in tenets common to other Christian denominations. It is therefore correct to refer to you as a sect of Christianity. If you do some reading outside Watchtower and Awake, you will discover that Religion is an imprecise word. It can refer to many things, including a whole religious movement, such as Christianity, or to a sect within a religious movement, such as JWs within Christianity. I will therefore continue to refer to JWs as a sect, because this is a more precise term.

On reading the Bible alone, from Watchtower, August 15, 1981: "From time to time, there have arisen from among the ranks of Jehovah's people those who, like the original Satan, have adopted an independent, faultfinding attitude...They say that it is sufficient to read the Bible exclusively, either alone or in small groups at home. But, strangely, through such 'Bible reading,' they have reverted right back to the apostate doctrines that commentaries by Christendom's clergy were teaching 100 years ago."

If nobody knows when the end will be, why have JWs felt able to predict it several times?

You also have a very narrow interpretation of the word "condemn", David! Believing that the rest of us will fall into a common grave if we do not adopt your teachings seems like condemnation to me.
