"Love": Telling a single brother that all he is allowed to meet at a$$emblies is other men. And that he is supposed to exude with joy.
Telling people that are trying all they can to put in 10 hours a month that they ought to pioneer. Oh yes, they need to make the opportunities to make the time. Give up your means of sustenance. Cut Internet, cable, and any entertainment. Donate all your money to the Watchtower Society, and live on nothing.
Giving people talks on subjects that they are having difficulty with, and then giving them W's because they didn't exude with joy and enthusiasm while delivering the talk (never mind that that conductor is not known for giving mass W's).
Tearing people who care for each other apart from each other with rules and by dividing the book studies so they never cross.
Taking away all the fun gatherings. No more picnics. Limit the size of other events to a few. No more nothing.
Forcing people to travel 200 miles and spend $200 or more on hotel rooms to attend a borefest that is going to keep many of them from work, wasting their vacations all the while
Keeping school children up until after 10:00 PM on school nights, usually the ones that tests are going to be administered the next day.
Protecting pedophiles within the organization, and then silencing the victims.
Starting the service day for the congregations at 5:30 in the morning and expecting people to stay up writing letters until after midnight.
Tearing families apart because one person chooses to smoke, or they see through the mountain of lies but the other members don't.
All the endless rules. Dressing up in hot weather. No pants for sisters when it is bitter cold. Quiet and Keep Moving signs at Grand Boasting Sessions. Not allowing people to use operating candy vending machines. Having children sit quietly for two hours at a time (more at grand boasting sessions). The White Dress Shirt issue. No wire-rimmed glasses. Toys off-limits for legends of demons. No college.
This is LOVE?
