Are these in the June or July issue?
what if a jw used this one,
"Lesson: Other people, including our family
members, will disappoint us at times. But if
we want God to forgive us, we must learn to
forgive others.—Matthew 6:14, 15.
to not shun a family member for some sin or even leaving the wt to the elders or cong? I suppose they would say you could forgive them and still shun them if you really loved them because they see shunning as a 'loving' act?
What the Bible teaches: “Continue
putting up with one another and forgiving
one another freely if anyone has a cause for
complaint against another. Even as Jehovah
freely forgave you, so do you also.”—Colossians
3:13.
Lesson: Other people, including our family
members, will disappoint us at times. But if
we want God to forgive us, we must learn to
forgive others.—Matthew 6:14, 15.
Jesus said his disciples would be recognized for the love they had amongst one another, and it really doesn't get much simpler than that. Its hard to say this organization is loving when they have to throw a smokescreen over their unscrupulous behind the scene doctrines and policies.
Jesus also said . . .
You are searching the Scriptures because you think that by means of them you will have everlasting life . . . And yet you do not want to come to me that you may have life . . . I well know that you do not have the love of God in you. JOHN 5; 39, 40, 42 (NWT)
The Society KNOWS these things because they print them . . . however they DO NOT PERFORM . . . remind you of anybody?
What a load of hypocritical bull wash. I refer also to = Watchtower 1961 Jul 15 p.420
"Jesus encouraged his followers to love their enemies, but God's Word also says to "hate what is bad." When a person persists in a way of badness after knowing what is right, when the bad becomes so ingrained that it is an inseparable part of his make-up, then in order to hate what is bad a Christian must hate the personwith whom the badness is inseparably linked."
