    He has given them life to serve Him (the organization).

    How so? The WT's "Jehovah god" hasn't "GIVEN" anything, they have to earn everything.

    As a Christian (not JW) I earn nothing, God gives everything.

    minimus, I congratulate you on the improvement. Marked indeed!

    The answer to the thread title is:

    God vs a god

    prophet vs "prophet"

    prophet vs prophet-like

    inspired vs "inspired"

    truth vs the truth

    and thus

    love vs "love"

    LouBelle:

    I had a love for my god and wanted to please him......then realised I couldn't and that I he wasn't good enough

    I corrected your typo. HTH!

    I think I was supposed to love our creator / Jehovah ......but I could never really get my head around talking to imaginary friends....

    I just played along ever since I was a kid.

    The only real feelings I ever had was that of guilt..inflicted on me from the organisation for just being a normal human being and actually finding enjoyment in the normal things of life......

    I was SCARED of a God that would flip out and have bears eat children and other psychotic things over a minor transgression. So it was more like fear > forced worship. I saw no reason to love someone that caused my life to suck and did nothing to directly help me when I asked for it, though.

    I found it very hard to love a god that was constantly threatening me and filling me with guilt. There are definitely things that could make me feel love such as sending his Son and creation but the prism the Watchtower put God through made it very difficult.

    It's hard to love someone you can't see and have a conversation with.

    Never.

    I don't love mass murderers.

    I loved and trusted J*****h 100%.

    Yes, I had doubts about some teachings, but I knew it would all make sense in the future. I was just running ahead of the Org, right?

    My fleshly brother (who was never in the cult) would call J*****h a cruel, war-god. I humoured him, what did he know?

    Turns out my bro was right.

    You live & learn (once you've left the cult).

    I now realize I didn’t as much as I thought. I was there for the promise. I was there for the lie I was spoon fed.

    Love is overrated.
