well sometimes we are.. look we have the knowledge and experience to help a lot of people.must of us have one time been jw's and understand how many think.so lets not put them off by being too negative.. when we were witnesses most of us were quite happy .
we tried to be good people , to put into practise principles that many people think are good.
we did this sometimes even when we didn't want to , because we thought god would hold us accountable and because we cared for people .
re-read my post. The universal concepts of justice and personal responsibility. Ethical responsible reasonable people would do the opposite of the behaviors I mentioned. Think about it.

sleepy,
If you can understand humans in the larger concept of the human community and universal ethics,such as justice and personal responsibility,they are evil.
On a group level,they demand rights and justice.On a personal level they become ethically immoral by not extending this to others.
I think its morally evasive to attribute all their negative behavior to groupthink.
They live in this human world,deal with others evryday,see how the world treats each other. And whether they understand this or not,it comes down to personal responsibity regarding their behaviors and actions when dealing with others. And whether they understand this or not they are are accountable on this level.
The abusive behaviors they manifest (shunning,educational deficits, womens second class status not really giving to their community,archaic methods in dealing with child abuse, etc etc go beyond the norm.This negates the few good behaviors they may have.
What I see now and recognize what I once was ,when aJW,is the 'banality' of evil. That its an evryday group of normal looking people ,who perpetuate unethical/evil and abdicate moral responsibilities.Tina

for all who have, are, or will be shunned (which should pretty much be all of us), do you still have a deep love for those who now shun you...now, not familial love, but an active love that yearns for that person's companionship?.
i have several regrets; one of them is the friends that i've lost.
how about you guys?.
(((((((GB)))))))))))
Thank you for the elequently worded post. And deatiling the nature of love/hugs.
I find it very relevant to those who've made my nature to hug into something to be derided,made fun of.
Your posts shows it may be that they feel very unlovable themselves......and why I may find them unlovable. I find no unfullfilled desire in myself at those types. I find lots of pity for them.
And I have been and continue to be so very very fortunate to find many huggables in my life,here and everywhere. People who understand the reciprocity of love.
Luv.Tina
