My conclusion about unconditional love is that it is like the idea of freedom.... freedom is good ,
"absolute freedom" is not ! There are moral and common sense limits to everything .

Unconditional love?
by Snoozy inwhatever happened to "unconditional love"?.
why is it today so many are willing to shun a friend or relative because they are just too much trouble or they do something that irritates them.... they claim that the other person is "not healty for them" or "harmful to their mental health" be it a relative or a goof friend.
too ready to write them off so to speak.. what happened to the kind of unconditional love that loves in good and bad times..... i don't get it... i guess "unconditional love" doesn't exist anymore.

@ OODAD ....So much like this quote ... "love that does not include boundaries is not truly love at all " .. because then we
get into the area of co-dependancy right ? The whole idea of withholding love becomes a very slippery , confusing slope !
Here is a very interesting site that questions the whole idea of co-dependancy as applied to relationships such as marriage

There have been many valuable comments made here, however this is my sincere question...
Codependency involves extremes of behavior. The immature, irresponsible, self destructive codependent is one extreme of the spectrum - usually the person who is genetically an addictive personality. A person who is acting destructively has no reason to change if their are no consequences for thier actions.
How do you balance or draw distinction between tough love and the idea of uncondtional love ?

What is your purpose and passion ?
by caliber init seems to me that many who leave jw's become very well informed about their former way of life and their desire to change from this life style.
become very sarcastic and cynical , they seem to lack any sure direction or purpose in life.
but for life to have.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. ~Attributed to Howard Thurman
Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark. ~Henri-Frédéric Amiel

"To love is to risk not being loved in return, To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken
because the greatest harzard is to risk nothing at all ! " In even trying to suceed there is purpose
To me there surely must be difference between acceptance and outright resignation

It seems to me that many who leave JW's become very well informed about their former way of life and their desire to change from this life style. But many seem to
become very sarcastic and cynical , they seem to lack any sure direction or purpose in life. but for life to have
joy and meaning it is important that we feel fulfillment. Like this quote... " Nothing great in the world has been
accomplished without passion " Please share your idea as to purpose and passion in life ! Is passion a very individual or thing
or what ?

@Cofty
I don't think I am questioning using mortality as such , but why is this used as the main argument if indeed
the scientific approach is so strong in the favour of non-belief in God (non-existence) ? (evidence and facts)
