But 1&4 are Biblical na.
Polygamy (except for clergymen) has never been, is not, and will never be a sin: some prophets and priests had more than one wife.
Military engagement is both scriptural and godly: it was even commanded in some instances that all willing able-bodied men should join the military.

VERDICT: THOSE DOCTRINES AND RULES ARE RUBBISH!

I believe you didn't understand the OP.

@OP, you didn't add the teaching of Angel Michael as Jesus and worshipping of Jesus Christ.

God allowed polygamy for centuries. in Christian era, thing changed. For a time, God did permit a man to have more than one wife. (Genesis 4:19; 16:1-4; 29:18-29 ) But God did not originate the practice of polygamy. He provided only one wife for Adam.
God authorized Jesus Christ to reinstitute His original standard of monogamy. (John 8:28 ) When asked about marriage, Jesus said: “He who created them from the beginning made them male and female and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh.’”—
Matthew 19:4, 5.
One of Jesus’ disciples was later inspired by God to write: “Let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband.” (1 Corinthians 7:2 ) The Bible also states that any married man in the Christian congregation who is given special responsibilities must be “a husband of one wife.”— 1 Timothy 3:2, 12.
2. For the following reasons, Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t go to war:
1. Obedience to God. The Bible says that God’s servants would “beat their swords into plowshares” and not “learn war anymore.”— Isaiah 2:4 .
2. Obedience to Jesus. The apostle Peter was told by Jesus: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52 ) Jesus thus showed that his followers would not take up weapons of warfare.
Jesus’ disciples obey his command to be “no part of the world” by remaining strictly neutral in political matters. (John 17:16 ) They do not protest against military actions or interfere with those who choose to serve in the armed forces.
3. Love for others. Jesus commanded his disciples to “love one another.” ( John 13:34, 35) They would thus form an international brotherhood in which no member would ever wage war against his brother or sister.— 1 John 3:10-12 .
4. The example of early Christians. The
Encyclopedia of Religion and War states: “The earliest followers of Jesus rejected war and military service,” recognizing those practices as “incompatible with the love ethic of Jesus and the injunction to love one’s enemies.” Likewise, German theologian Peter Meinhold said of those early disciples of Jesus: “Being a Christian and a soldier was considered irreconcilable.”
Contributions to the community
Jehovah’s Witnesses are useful members of society and pose no threat to the security of the countries where they live. We respect governmental authority, in harmony with these Bible commands:
“Be in subjection to the superior authorities.”—
Romans 13:1 .
“Pay back, therefore, Caesar’s things to Caesar, but God’s things to God.”— Matthew 22:21 .
Thus, we obey the law, pay our taxes, and cooperate with the government’s efforts to provide for the public welfare.
