It is because their love does not originate within themselves, but is something that is cold, mechanical and directed for them to do from the platform and publications. These people don't know the true meaning of love because they have replaced natural human affection for an artificial belief system.

Never let me down again
by Pleasuredome inwhen i decided to stop going meetings, i text sister who was a good friend, and told her that i wasnt continuing with meetings and the reason why, because of child abuse policy etc.
i asked her if she would like to stay in touch.
she said that even though she agreed with me, she's 'not one to keep in contact, and i'm not one to judge either'.

Metatron, I never really thought of it that way. You're right though, they did strip anything that was already fun out of the religion. I am referring to the food service which was actually a nice break from the Convention and it allowed me to meet and talk to people I would probably never have gotten to know.

My story growing up as a JW ........
by WingCommander injw kids = "children of the corn".
growing up as a j-dub, i have seen all of the special treatment most jw kids and elders kids recieved in general.
while, no you were not allowed to celebrate holidays, etc, being a jw child meant you could do no wrong.

Id have to say that in my experience, it varied from case to case. I knew some elder's kids that got away with murder and some who were so jumpy they would go crying to their dad if they dared to say something like "hell". Got in trouble for seeing a rated R movie with my friend because he just had to tell his dad. By the way he was 19, I was 20 and a MS at the time. Did not appreciate being talked to by the PO.
Basically though I did see a lot of "double-lifing" going on with almost all JW kids I knew growing up. When they were away from their parents they were totally "worldly". There was even this entire section at our district conventions that was a notorious hangouit for all the young JW's to flirt with each other and so forth. It was all such a freaking lie. No wonder when I got out most of the kids I knew growing up no longer attended meetings. There is a huge age gap at the kingdom hall, you will usually not find very many between 18-30 anymore.

Human Compassion
by Xena ini can't help but wonder if it gets lost somewhere in cyberspace.
there are a couple of threads that are active at this time where the original poster did or said something deemed inappropriate....this was pointed out to them...threads locked or the poster retracted what they said...it should be over right?
but nooooo some people continue to kick that poster over and over and over.....with their mocking and cruel comments.

Do you believe in Jehovah-God
by SpannerintheWorks injehovah-god is going to destroy ,annihilate all the wicked.

No not THIS god which you describe, this fact alone is one that made me question him. How could humans show more compassion? To the normal human this sort of thing would be beyond dispicable and we have dealt with people who feel that killing people is a solution (Hitler), why would I want to believe in a god who was, as JW's should put it, the "great Hitler", who's final solution is just to annihilate people.

How would you answer?
by sunshineToo ini hate hearing, "you left jehovah?

You can't reason with a fence-post. Just consider the source as one who equates their organization with God and no amount of evidence or reasoning would sway them to believe otherwise. You are your own person and you don't need validation from lemmings.
