Do you think JWs are really taught "unconditional love" like Jesus did?

    Absolutely not!!!

    Their "love" for other jws only lasts while they stay jws.

    They do not even begin to know what unconditional love is. It sure is not the hypocrisy that they display.

    Allow me to play devil's advocate a moment...

    Was Jesus' love really "unconditional"?

    Did he love the Pharisees when he called them "offspring of vipers and whitewashed graves"?

    Did he tell the adulterous woman that her sins were forgiven, period, or did he add "go and sin no more"?

    What did he mean when he said "not everyone saying to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom"? If certain people are excluded from the kingdom, on what basis, i.e., what conditions, are they excluded?

    Hi Sir,

    I agree that neither Christ nor God display unconditional love toward individuals.

    Absolutely not. Every relationship I lost was conditional, which eventually drove me away.
