    I would like to just take this opportunity of sending our love to the Greenford Congregation!!!!

    Just in case any Elders are reading, that's the one in Middlesex, UK

    Ummm.........I think you may have the wrong forum, but stick around a while and look around by all means!!

    As for "Congregation Love", what exactly is that in the JW religion? See, my parents didn't receive any congregation love while they were on their death beds, nor did I, even though they were JW's in good standing for 25 years. Not one JW brought me a meal, called, even sent a card when they died. I was blown away. In contrast, theirs and my "Worldly" neighbours and co-workers came to the house, brought or offered meals, sent cards (Before and after their deaths) called, put our names into their churches prayer groups, etc, etc. My mother's employer actually dedicated a memorial bench and planted a tree in her honour for her 35 years of service as a nurse at their hospital, with many, many people attending. Know what? Not (1) JW bothered to show up for it. Guess they were too busy knocking on doors of empty houses.

    So much for Congregation Love. Truly, by their fruits you shall know them.

    Well this is an apostate website so you'd better back off.

    Aren't "warm love and greetings" messages reserved at the end of a talk from a visiting speaker? Just Saying......unless the poster is trying to make a point and be a little sarcastic to any lurking elders from that particular congregation that is referenced.

    I agree 100% WingCommander that was our experience too! Mind you we felt it was just us but since lurking on this site it seems like hundreds of JWs felt this way too.

    There is definitely more love with "worldly people", certainly unconditional.
