I'll take a whack at 'em...
1-5 are correct, both Biblically and as part of JW doctrine.
6 I just don't know about. I always assumed that the names of angels and demons were made up by early clegymen when they were writing fan-fic like the various extra books of the Bible and stuff.
7 Jesus was, according to the Bible, a man of perfect flesh while on earth. Jesus is quoted as saying: "The Father is greater than I." If Jesus didn't think he was God, why should we?
8-10 are correct. The stake-cross thing was a gross error in translation. Pylos is greek for stake. It is the word that pile comes from, in the sense of a pile driven into the earth to support a dock or fence.
11 is current doctrine, although there may be some flexibility in the date, I personally don't know.
12 I simply do not know about.
13 and 14 are true of all religions pretty much.
15 is flat-out wrong. The 144,000 started being picked in the time immediately after Jesus' earthly preaching was completed. Technically, all of them are JWs, since by definition those chosen as the small crowd would have to be witnesses of the truth that leads to eternal life. Further, the 144,000 are only the people who are going to be resurrected as spirit creatures like angels, and aid in the rulership of earth from heaven. Millions more, the great crowd, will be resurrected to eternal life on an earth restored to Eden-like conditions, with perfect bodies.
16-19 are correct, 19 covered just above.
20 The organizations position on blood transfusions is a matter of some internal debate, and has lately been left to the individual witness as a matter of personal faith.
21 and 22 are organizational doctrines well-supported by the Bible.
23 is correct, and since it is directly contradictory of 24, 24 is clearly not. I note there is no source for 24, which ought to raise an eyebrow in itself.
I might point out that if you were to simply read the sources you credit, and the Bible quotes each source is based on, there would be no need to post them here, as you'd know the answers already.
