I know, minimus... The explanation they give is so far fetched. How do they come up with this, anaywa???

Love is always on their terms, not unconditional. So NO they don't really love others.

BubbleThat really was my point love with strings attached - a contract, a noose, or some other sought of relationship.

Here is what I have experienced. When I am at the KH, things are "distanced", yet when I run into the same people (even some younger elders(40's)) at walmart or the grocery store, it is like we are friends, I probably heard more confessions of doubt, or "spiritual weakness/trouble" then the BOE has in 20 years. So yes I would say we love each other, just not while being observed in the KH habitat
This is just my experience, but it took decades before they spoke to me, and realized I was not Satan's Seed, as the PO claimed.
Oh but when I travelled and ran into another JW (radar), then I would describe most as being friendly enough to feel some warmth.

The "love" is only surface deep and is conditional on the recipient continuing to attend meetings, go out on the service etc etc etc.

We have one dear old delusional sister still loving us though she has to do it secretly for fear of the elders.
As for the rest well I compare them to the TV show BIG BROTHER and the housemates....they all gush love to each other though they don't really know each other or really care ..Why? well they know whose watching don't they? and don't forget the prize in the end

Do Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY Love Others?
I would have to answer a resounding NO!
I wish it were not true - but as my eyes have opened further and further to reality, it is clearly the case that Jehovah's Witnesses [although mislead, and perhaps due to propoganda, even mind-controlled] are generally mean spirited, self centered on the organization, and hateful and uncaring even to those who are family or lifetime 'friends'. They are more severly crippled in emotion than any other group I have identified in my life. Some have labeled them mentally unstable. While perhaps true of some of them - they are almost universally emotionally ill, having rejected common emotional bonds with people, in exchange for emotional ties to a book sales outfit in Brooklyn.

The reality is that JWs ENCOURAGE their members to shun anyone that left the Organization and decide to think differently.
The Watchtower is actually training its members to be judgemental when it instucts them to behave in this way
And what did Christ say about judging?!?!?!

JWs are very judgmental. To be a JW, you must be!
