The thing is that the label evangelical is so broad and has so many groups with completely different beliefs that we either use the broad label or we don't use any label at all and respect the fact that Southern Baptists have completely different beliefs from Assemblies of God.

I prefer the specific term rather than umbrella term in most cases -- for the same reason I don't use the term Protestants as that is even broader and it is not fair to club Baptists with Mennonites say...

Fine, but my original point is that the JWs are not evangelical, since they don’t meet any of the broad definitions you have presented.
