    Yes, if this is not hate speech, I don't know what is.

    Didn't Jesus comand his followers to love their enemies? Matt 5:44. O well. Haters be hatin'.

    Doesn't this hate speech violate some laws in many countries? I'm thinking they can loose their tax exempt status over this. The French deserve another shot at taxing the WT, I wonder if they could use this in the European Court of Human Rights?

    International

    The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) states that "any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law". [ 10 ] The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) prohibits all incitement of racism. [ 11 ] On 3 May 2011, Michael O'Flaherty with the United Nations Human Rights Committee published General Comment No. 34 on the ICCPR, which among other comments expresses concern that many forms of "hate speech" do not meet the level of seriousness set out in Article 20. [ 12 ] Concerning the debate over how freedom of speech applies to the Internet, conferences concerning such sites have been sponsored by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. [ 13 ]

    The obligation to hate lawlessness also applies to all activity by apostates.

    If that isn`t a hate crime I don`t know what is..

    It would be nice to see the WBT$ Prosecuted for it..

    Oh like King David had any room to talk.

    Hey, just because people don't agree with Jehovah doesn't mean they hate him. But it's hard not to hate people who made up all the things they claim Jehovah said and did and it's hard not to hate the governing body and writing department of the WTB&TS.

    I've hardly ever hated anybody in my life. If I did, it didn't last long. So telling me to hate aposatates wouldn't have worked too well. I was inactive by 7/15 '92.

    I wonder if someone could compile a list of hate speeches from the WT publications and give it to the proper authorities what would happen?

    I'm thinking class action lawsuit from many who fit under the umbrella of apostate over this and other speeches might stand a chance I don't know, what say any legal eagles about this?

    And from the other side of their mouths:

    *** w11 12/1 p. 25 “A Time to Love and a Time to Hate” ***

    Clearly, as imitators of God, true Christians need to understand when it is “a time to love” and when it is “a time to hate.” Sentimentality can cause one’s view of love and mercy to become unbalanced. But the words of the disciple Jude can help us to keep the proper balance between showing mercy and hating sin: “Continue showing mercy to others, doing so with fear, while you hate even the inner garment that has been stained by the flesh.” (Jude 22, 23) We should therefore hate what is bad but not the person who does what is bad.
