Did You Ever REALLY Love Jehovah? (page 2)

Who You Callin' "SIMPLE", You Little Witch?

Jesus I can understand, he lived on the earth once as a human being. He had eyes, ears, a mouth, arms, hands, etc. He ate, slept, walked, cried. He talked directly to people and demonstrated his love in person.

Jehovah? He had or did none of those. He had a spiritual body afterall. He was a reservoir of dynamic energy and he was always perched, ready to judge and murder those who did not love him. How can you force someone to love anyone? You either love them or you don't. Or they do so many loving and wonderful things that you grow to care about them on some level and perhaps even love them on some level.

I tried to love him but he remained a vague entity to me. He never seemed like a real person. Just some big bunch of energy that was going to kill billions of people to prove he was lovable.

I loved God before I learned the "truth". Jehovah's Witnesses robbed me of the God I knew and replaced him with a petty, murderous imposter. How do you love a petty murderous imposter?

Yes, I always have loved God, and I let myself be fooled into believing the jdubs had the way to please him. However, after escaping (yes, escaping) I have found the "daddy" that Paul talked about, and have that personal relationship that I was formerly led to believe only the "anointed, chosen, special, exclusive ones" could have. What a bunch of Pharisees they are!

I do not believe it is possible to love the "God" of the JW's. You can try to convince yourself you do, talk about how much you do, perhaps even believe you do IF and only IF you don't concentrate on that subject too much.

Somewhere in my heart I wanted to know God and wanted to love him, but I couldn't. Like other posters have stated -how can you love someone who is so scary?!

I started discovering him in the past few years (post JW) - and I don't know that I am yet at the point where I can say I love him because I don't REALLY know him yet. But I am recognizing what he is doing in my life, and how much he loves me......and I'm getting there.

I don't think the Jews got him either. I personally think a lot of what is in the Old Testament is their own perception of God. I am starting to wonder if this wasn't part of why Jesus came - to set the record straight?! It would make some sense as to why the God of the old testament and God of the new testament are so different.

Anyways......I don't know yet that I can say I love God.......but I sure like the one I'm learning about now. And I definately want him in my life.

Nope... Never.

Love, yes

Adore? don't know what it really implies...

Not really. More like grovelling. I have read of people who felt that they were filled w love, some from the christian god, some from another higher power. The point is, how can a person feally love god unless god loves him first? If god loves someone, would the person feel it?

Minimus,Looking back on all those years,I used to love GOD,Jesus, for 30 yrs as the Catholic Faith taught me,the Father ,Son and Holy Ghost.Then 30 something years as a Jehovah's Witness,I used to love GOD as the witnesses taught me,Jehovah God.I thought at the time that God was very real to me.Now,???
