Just as a mother has tender feelings for her baby, Jehovah is moved to act lovingly in behalf of his people.
Of course, when that baby later refuses to comply with the Borg, that child will be condemned to everlasting rejection and death.
For instance, the common people lived in fear of the religious leaders,
who deceived them and burdened them with many man-made rules.
For example, look up "Questions from Readers" on the WT Library.
After one extensive preaching tour, Jesus and his apostles were about
to go to an isolated place to get some rest. Because he felt pity for
the crowd awaiting him, however, Jesus took time “to teach them many
things.”
How about you? Are you tired after trying to provide for your family because you work a dead-end minimum wage job, according to the Borg's desires. Well, attend the meeting and field service anyways.
Gradually, Alan understands what it is like to be an older person who
finds it hard to read the Bible or walk from house to house.
Finally, Alan looks at the elderly man, and Alan says to himself: Why the heck did you listen to the Borg all those years telling you that you would never grow old in this system? Why did you not prepare for retirement and old age like a normal human being?
Alan says to himself: "FTS, I'm outta this cult!"
Others are coping with emotional trials because of depression, panic attacks, or the aftereffects of abuse.
Hello, Borg drones.
Still others are part of a religiously divided family or a single-parent household
Again. Hello, Borg drones.
Everyone faces some problem, and often it is one we ourselves have not
experienced. In such a case, how can we imitate God’s love? By listening
intently until we understand the other person’s feelings, at least to
some extent. This will move us to imitate Jehovah’s love by acting
according to the need. The need is different with each individual, but
we may be able to provide spiritual encouragement and some other
practical help.
An extremely empty Borg statement.
God’s Son said: “The Most High . . . is kind toward the unthankful and wicked.”
How can we imitate God’s kindness?
Imagine that a congregation member, whether an adult or a child, comes to us, as an elder, with a complaint of sexual abuse?
How should we view the person being complained about? Often, such allegations of abuse are not substantiated by two witnesses.
Clearly, this goes against Jehovah's thinking as expressed to us in the law given to Moses.
However, even if there was SOME substantiation to the allegation: Should not the elders consider more important factors?
For example, is the person complained against repentant?
Does he have evidence of Jehovah's blessing? That is, is he regular in field service?
Does he give thoughtful comments at meetings, of which he is a regular supporter?
Does he contribute his time and resources to the advancement of Jehovah's Kingdom and his interests?
Clearly, this is how Jehovah views imperfect men.
Do we hold imperfect worshipers of Jehovah to a different standard?
