Theists, what do you think about religions other than your own?

I'm curious as to what someone who believes in one religion thinks about the beliefs of other religions. Do you know much about the specifics of other religions and what do you think about them?

For a Christian, let's say a Methodist, what do you think of Jehovah's Witnesses (as an example).

Jehovah's Witnesses followers what do you think about the doctrine of Scientology?

Mormon's what do you think about Scientology?

Do you consider that it is just another religion that is a reasonable religion but that it's just not the "true" religion?

Or, as a Jehovah's Witnesses do you find the teachings of Scientology and Mormonism to be bizarre? What do you think of Xeno in the case of Scientology or the "magic underwear" of Mormonism?
 
I have a strong academic interest in Christianity and Judaism. I was never really raised around them much, since both my parents were atheists, so I developed a mostly distant, neutral, historian kind of approach to learning about them. They're very fascinating.

As someone who was raised a Mormon, I have to say first that the terminology "Magic Underwear" can be extremely offensive to some individuals. I would also like to assert that the Mormon faith condemns all other systems of belief. I know this because the highest kingdom of paradise in Mormonism has a pre-requisite of being Mormon. That being mutually inclusive of all religions states that they are all inferior.

I'm a heretic, I'm not part of any religion but I do have my viewpoint, which is probably similar to most/all atheists.:

Each have their merits, but they have caused too many wars, cruel killings, isolation the list goes on...
