JW's believe they have more love because the WT mag tells them so. Even if it is not their immediate experience, they reason, it must exist elsewhere. Besides, they have not been to a "worldly" gathering in years, so how could they know that people on the "outside" hug and laugh and dance?
Country Girl, can I keep your "Love is..." list? That list is fantastic!
I taught Sunday school to two year olds for years. I struggled to condense weighty Christian concepts to something they could understand. "Honour your Mother and Father" became, "If you see a kleenex on the floor, do you put it in the garbage for your mommy?" What was more amazing, is those toddlers listened, and applied. The following week, a mother came up to me asking, "Whatever did you tell Tommy? He has been helping me around the house all week!"
Perhaps the Christian experience would be more fun for everybody if we condensed it's meaning in to something a toddler can grasp.
