JW's don't really love people.

[Jack Ryan]

They think that their preaching means that they care. But outside of the preaching work, all they do is mock the people who disagree with them and openly say that they will all die and god will destroy them; and they can't wait! That isn't love.

Give the Congo a visit, perhaps the islands. You cannot judge a faith community as a whole for the actions of one. This is the same problem I have to teach strictly to racists who discriminate time and time again because of one's color. A guy who does a crime does not define a whole race, a man who bombs a school does not define a whole group, etc.

The mind set and mentality of the West, at times, is silly.

I think that Jehovah's Witnesses love people strictly on an intellectual level, a "principled love".

The harder life is ... the more people love each other on an emotional level.

The fact is, in our current policy driven culture ... a deep emotional love of general humanity is impossible in most circumstances, and for most people  ..... and even normal deep family love is being systematically "bred" out of our theocratic culture.

With the adoption of extreme and cruel rules of disfellowshipping, dependent on our OWN social survival, to treat family with extreme cruelty INSTEAD of mercy, we have learned to turn love on, and off ... and back on .... like a light switch.

@James Thomas Rook Jr. Seconded. Everyone is different, good people and bad people. But even in this day and age, if a man of a nation does something bad, the mentality of people will lead them not blame the man, but the whole nation for the actions of the man, in this sense, it is like saying the a man in Liverpool is known for his harsh insults and rudeness and because of this man, everyone in Liverpool, and in the United Kingdom are like this man, when the reality is, not everyone follows and mimics the man who speaks insults.
