I don't recall who made the statement - but I seriously disagree that the Watchtower teaches love not judgement. They are all about judgement. It defines them. It defines those who fall under their spell as well. How could they avoid such, while immersed in the WTS thinking?
Oh, they disguise it well - especially in the articles and books they expect the public to read. But that organization reeks with hatred and judgement of other religions, alternate lifestyle choices, the world's governments, and anyone who dares disagree with them on anything.
And the trickle-down of those attitudes is absolutely a stench in some car-groups, and cliques. How many of us did not see our 'brothers and sisters' laughing at a family's Madonna in the front yard, or an atheists' opinions as they walked back to the car? How many did not see [or perhaps do so themselves] people in the pioneer group 'dividing up' the spoils - choosing a particular house they wanted to live in while the crows pecked out the eyes of the owner laying in the front yard?
The organization is hateful - how could you classify them in any other way once you understand that for them to find 'peace, happiness and security in the new world' it requires;
- That for every 1000 living souls on this planet, 999 will have to be killed, murdered by God for not agreeing with the things written in the magazines they produce? If you are unlucky enough to have lived in Bankok or rural India, you would still die though the closest you ever came to Jehovah's witnesses was the time your grandfather saw one selling books across the marketplace when he was 12 years old. Still, in his love, Jehovah has seen to it that 'this good news' got preached somewhere on your soil. You should have known!
- That, in my little town of 9000, 'our loving heavenly father Jehovah' will be putting 8991 of us to death, so that nine Jw's can live!
- That, in my small state of 7 million, 6,993,000 of us get to die so that a mere 7000 will live in paradise!
- That, in my nation of 350 million, the loving God Jehovah will slaughter 349,650,000 of us! The surviving 350,000 will walk about watching the rest of us rot as example of why one should not cross this 'loving God' by disagreeing with His little known group of followers.
That is, if the current percentages of Jw vs. the rest of us holds. 1:1000
How can that translate to anything short of judgemental? The WTS and it's adherants major in judgement!
