15. No, you misread.
It's been said before, but needs to be said again, I think.

The JW pamphet is saying that, just as you don't blame a doctor for mistakes his patient may make, you don't blame Christ for mistakes his followers may make. The paragraph with the bold text doesn't refer to Japanese, at least not to them any more than to anybody else.

It's actually the reason for pointing out the "Xians in Nagasaki" factoid: you're expected to conclude that Nagasaki-ites have properly discerned that what a teacher says to do and what his students actually do can be rather different things.

There are lots of things to be revolted at. That paragraph isn't particularly one of them.

As far as the picture ... short curly hair's not an improbable choice. I'm unconvinced about the 'chubby' part.
