Hatred (JWFacts)

The direction given in the Watchtower goes strongly against Christian examples when demanding members hate an apostate.

"The obligation to hate lawlessness also applies to all activity by apostates. Our attitude toward apostates should be that of David, who declared: Do I not hate those who are intensely hating you" Watchtower 1992 Jul 15 pp.12-13 Christ Hated Lawlessness Do You?

"Apostasy is, in reality, a rebellion against Jehovah. Some apostates profess to know and serve God, but they reject teachings or requirements set out in his Word. Others claim to believe the Bible, but they reject Jehovah's organization and actively try to hinder its work. When they deliberately choose such badness after knowing what is right, when the bad becomes so ingrained that it is an inseparable part of their makeup, then a Christian must hate (in the Biblical sense of the word) those who have inseparably attached themselves to the badness. True Christians share Jehovah's feelings toward such apostates; they are not curious about apostate ideas. On the contrary, they "feel a loathing" toward those who have made themselves God's enemies, but they leave it to Jehovah to execute vengeance."Watchtower 1993 Oct 1 p.19

"Haters of God and his people are to be hated, but this does not mean that we will take any opportunity of bringing physical hurt to them in a spirit of malice or spite, for both malice and spite belong to the Devil, whereas pure hatred does not. We must hate in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme and active aversion, to consider as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest. Surely any haters of God are not fit to live on his beautiful earth. The earth will be rid of the wicked and we shall not need to lift a finger to cause physical harm to come to them, for God will attend to that, but we must have a proper perspective of these enemies. His name signifies recompense to the enemies." Watchtower 1952 Oct 1 p.599

J esus and Paul both said we should not hate but rather love our enemies. This was to apply even when someone is attacking our faith and practice.

The watchtower organization is just SICK!

What is a Hate- or Bias-Motivated Incident?

A "hate- or bias-motivated act" is any incident in which an action taken by a person or group is perceived to be malicious (hate) or discriminatory (bias) toward another person or group based on such characteristics as race, color, socioeconomic class, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity or any situation in which inter-group tensions exist based on such group characteristics. Hate and bias acts may be violations of criminal law, such as "hate crimes," or violations of civil law, such as unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, education or public accommodations. All hate crimes are considered hate and bias incidents, but not all bias incidents are considered hate crimes."

by bobld in

jw
friends

true they ate,they died,but on the other hand if they never ate from it,they could(would ) of died anyways.. let me illustrate:on a store shelf there are many products.one of them has a label"poison" if eaten you will surely die.if a person consumes the poison he is one dead sob no question.on the other hand if he doesn't eat the poison he will eventually die anyways..

clarity

Yeah I get it...... in this case (if you eat the fruit) it will

kill you ...you will die from it. So.....if I (god) don't let

you eat from the tree of life .......you will die eventually

anyway!

why Jehovah's witnesses? not yaweh witnesses?

by purrpurr in

this i never understood, the publications say that gods name translated from hebrew is yaweh.

why add a whole bunch of letters and vowels that change the sound of the name completely?

i've often thought surely we would gain greater respect on the ministry if we used a name that is historically and verbally accurate?.

clarity

Which ever way it is said .... still sounds dumbass.

How about an invisible name for an invisible god!
