    This brother again went on about how we are all unified 'cos we all study the same publications at the same time....What other religion does this.......and all other religions fought against each other in world war 1 & 2........



    Note the brother first states that the religion is unified. With this I believe he is saying that it is the WT as a hole not the individual JW who is bound by the law. He then states that all other religions fight each other this demonstrates a lack of love on their parts implying love on the Wt's part. So he is telling you that the WT does keep the law of love but not as u and I do know it.

    I should point out that the statements are false, study does not denote unification, and the Catholic Church reads the same bible versus, and the homily are on those readings, in every church in the world on the same day. If someone were to go to mass every day for 3 years he would have almost the entire bible read to him.

    Go deeper child into That which is closest and most intimate. See if you can find any blemish, boundary or division here that could prevent It from being the very embodiment of Love. Stop reducing God to a thing, deity or object. Then you will have nothing for the mind to grasp and place far away. Discover what is right here, right now. Realize what you really are and have always been. Discover what has no beginning and no end."

    Thank you James! Very well said .

    Religion is not about unity but disunity. If EVERYONE would ascribe to the doctrine of love, the world would be a better place.

    The elders got very deffensive. The one even went on to say that "love is not that important"

    Even the devils are united, Jesus said ("a house divided cannot stand"); but they do not love at all.

    Unity without love is like a bunch of pus in a zit. Yeah, it's all a big united lump. But there's nothing good about it.

    The one even went on to say that "love is not that important"

    "God is Love" is a pretty powerful statement fron the Bible.

    "Love your enemy" is quite a strong command.

    On the two commandments of loving God and ones neighbour "depend the law and the prophets" [ie Old Testsment]

    But a far more important commandment than anything in the Bible is found in the watchtower, "don't celebrate birthdays"

    So are they following the Christ's commandments or mens?

    Good for you Loubelle, for speaking your mind, you're brave. And oh so right, about love.

    The JW's are a demon controlled cult that has no love to show.

    Think about the witnesses, who do they really follow? "The society" interprets the Bible to their own ends, "the Organization" tells you what to do in every aspect of your life. The Faithful slave are really CEO's.. It's nothing personal...it's just corporate religion.
