When you were in, or at the moment, if you are in, were you ever offered unconditional love by worldly people? If so, what did you feel about it?
Thank you very much for your posts.

Yup, a few friends and my non-JW family... It made me feel not as persecuted as the WTS would have me think I am. It got me thinking they just might be full of Horse Sh*t. Why all the questions dgp?

Even when I was 'in'...I maintained 'worldly' friendships...guess it was just WHO I am!
My parents used to get MAD at me and tell me that these worldly friends (coworkers, college classmates) were all Satan's way of diverting my attention from Jehovah and that I was NOT going to have this blessing if I continued to associate with these people. UGH!!! Inevitably, when I am DF'd - those same 'worldly people' ended up being the ONLY ones that had my back...when all those wholesome JW friendships fell by the wayside.

Brocephus, I ask this kind of questions because I've never been a JW and find that quite often I don't understand what is going on through the minds of a particular witness.
Thank you all for posting.

No. She has pushed me out of her life. I know for a fact that she loves me, but I'm Satan tempting her.

There is no such thing as unconditional love.

UNconditional love aside.....
The most care, empathy, assistance and concern I ever received was when I was not around Jehovah's Witnessess.
The friends I developed outside the organization were truer than the one's professing to be my brothers and sisters inside the Kingdom Hall.
That was my first big clue I was in a cult.
p.s. I would not think UNconditional anything would be sane.
