The JW's do the above.

See the posts on their conflict with following Jehovah but do as a person who
they claim is not God says to walk, except when it does not suit them.

They do not forbid marriage. The JW's abstain from foods.

There is nothing there for them. As to symbolisms, they are all well defined
in the Bible and understanding in available to all Holy Spirit filled
believers.

Wrong. This is not some symbolic scripture, the house is well described in
Ezekiel as is the layout of the land for the 12 tribes, non of which are
JW's.

And this clearly speaks of Jesus during His millennial reign on Earth. Who
rules with a rod of Iron. Which, BTW is clear proof that Jesus is Jehovah.

Yet at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ Satan will be loosed from
the bottomless pit and gather up of all nations those who are opposed to
Christ and will go to war with him.
“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his
prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four
quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the
number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of
the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city:
and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil
that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the
beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for
ever and ever.” (Rev 20:7-10)

The JW's are tricking you with deceptive interpretations, they do not believe
in Jesus as God. They do not believe in an unlimited Kingdom of God, and
their example of good news is that only 144,000 people out of the entire
worlds population from all time will enter that kingdom, and when you are
dead, that you cease to exist. Try telling that to people who died and went
to hell then were resuscitated and brought back to life. They will tell you
of a far different story, same with those who died prematurely and went to
heaven. You see, we are all allowed time on this earth.
“A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck
up that which is planted;” (Ecc 3:2)

The Good News is the proclamation of the Kingdom of God by Jesus. He revealed
during his ministry on Earth what at results are for those who dwell in the
Kingdom of God on this earth as well as a taste of what is to come.

The mormons do similar. Most all Christian Groups send people throughout the
world and have well before there was ever any JW's with their fraudulent
interpretations of the Bible, whose truths remain only as long until they
realize the errors they have been teaching and then they move on unto the
next lie, but all it "new revealed truth". Odd, that, as the word of God
never changes.
