Jeff,
I meant I would "hope" for him: hope, to start with, that he would change his mind as far as his intent to damage me. Hope that he could change and give up this type of action permantly. Hope that he might accept the Good News and accept the fact that his inner core could be transformed and the impulse to evil would be overcome in an induring dynamic.
We can hope all we want: it does not change what is happening in the here and now. And, we have to deal with the immediate set of circumstances with our former associates in the JWs.
I can not say I "love" the JWs. This is because I am still a babe in this Christian walk. I am growing. I know I will be judged in the same way I judge others. Now, today, I see the JWs as sons and daughters of Satan. I see them as anti-Christ. Black hearted. Liers. Lovers of false teaching. Self deluded. Hatefull. They are spiritual fecal matter piled hip high and stinky.
I do not think I am far from right on what they are. However, my imaturity in Christ is not allowing me the pity and compassion I should have on thier insanity.
This is my error, not thiers. Here, you are much further down the path of Love than me.
Speaking of hope: I hope to catch up to you! :-)
Yours in this Journey,
V
