Do Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY Love Others?
by minimus inthink about it---witnesses proclaim that their identifying mark is love.
they are the "most loving organization in the world".
they personify christ and are the only "true christians".

Summer, Sorry to say, you are just the new flavor of the month. I wonder how many others thought they too would never become a jw. I know I did. I actually started studying to prove them wrong. Slowly the sugar coated poison seeped into my brain and I spent the next 22 yrs drowning in it. There was so much back biting, gossiping, spying, lying etc it makes me want to gag when I think about it. Leaving the wto cost me my relationship with my daughter, son-in-law and grandson. My husband remains a robot and his friends love to come by the house and shun me. You can see the self righteous glee on their faces. My advice to you is, keep your mind open and learn from those of us who had our lives stolen from us to serve a man made hierarchy. Treasure your freedom!

Hi Mouthy! I too was a very zealous jw for 22 years. The last 3 years of it found me questioning more and more until the "light" finally WAS turned on. That was 10 years ago and I remember very vividly the day I realized that I was finally free! It felt like for the first time in 22 years I could actually breath again. But freedom comes with a price. My daughter and her husband too turned their backs to me. I have not seen my grandson in 9 years. He wouldn't even know me if he saw me. My husband is still in it but thankfully he stayed in the marriage; although the "friends" did their best to convince him to leave me. According to them I was spiritual poison. I know the day will come when the organization will finally hang themselves with their stupid teachings and my family will open their eyes. For now, I savor my sweet freedom. B.A.S.F.
