1) “For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Galatians 5:14)
2) “If you really keep the Kingly law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right.” (James 2:8)
If JWs have a neighbor who has now become an apostate, on what ground will JWs break this command, which is called the Kingly Law?
Great point Abiather ! and Jesus with his parable of the Good Samaritan showed who your neighbour really is. Just after giving the Kingly Law.
JW's ignore the injunction of their reigning King when they practice shunning.
No matter where the Apostate lives.
If a JW ignores their neighbors who are not Apostates, what do you think?
1. Making the assumption JWs are going to follow the Bible is opening yourself up for great disappointment, when in doubt they error on the side of hatred and over-rigtheousness, they are Antichrists!
2. Jehovah's Witnesses are told to keep as little contact with Worldy People who are not showing any interest in the New Good News as interpreted by the Governing Body. The Mormons teach they believe in the Bible as long as it is interpreted and does not go against the truths of the LDS Church.
3. To date, I know of over fifty people (low estimation) of JW Members who faded without anyone body checking up on them, I saw it first hand and wondered why we allow people to fade. If they show disdain for inactive members and Faders, how much more hatred will be demonstrated towards apostates?
