John 13:34 I am giving YOU a new commandment, that YOU love one another; just as I have loved YOU, that YOU also love one another. 35 By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.”
Have you ever noticed the love that Jehovah's Witnesses have for one another?

I've noticed it because I have experienced it. The responder who spoke of the love between the nuns could speak to that because he has personally seen it or experienced it. I do not expect that those outside would be aware of our love for one another. True, some have come to be in close contact with us by choice or by chance and have recognized it and even commented upon it publicly. It is nice that they take note but this is not the reason we do this. My brothers and sisters who took me and my family in and provided for our needs when we had to evacuate New Orleans over two years ago, did not know us personally before then. But they opened their homes to us. They fed us. They gave us clothing and funds. They saw that we got medical attention. Words can not express our gratitude! Perhaps no one else sees this as extraordinary, but believe me, my family was overwhelmed by the love were shown. Yet ours was not an isolated case. Jehovah's Witnesses were among those from New Orleans who suddenly found themselves homeless. Yet none ever spent a night without a roof over their heads and a meal in their bellies. This was because of the love of thier brothers. Their brothers went searching for them among the thousands of people who had been brought to a center Houston. They found them and took them home with them rather than leave them to suffer the indignities that many evacuees had to endure in that evironment. This is the type of love that is common among Jehovah's Witnesses. Truth be told I would count it a priviledge to do likewise for any one of my brothers and sisters.

properly. The Bible talks approximately going to the grave for him. human beings worldwide are placed to this perfect try every day. Jesus died on the bypass for each man or woman on the earth so as that their sins might desire to be forgiven in the event that they could in basic terms settle for his loose present. i assume I only seem at it by skill of attempting to work out the soreness that he underwent, he hung on a bypass for hours with consistent sharp soreness and it grew to become into probably greater painful than maximum varieties of execution of immediately. God is a solid god and he needs each and everything. i'm no longer attempting to scare you away or any situation, the advantages to understanding God are countless. i could advise speaking on your pastor for a greater advantageous description. it may look over whelming appropriate now, yet as you get to be attentive to God greater advantageous by skill of examining his be conscious, it relatively is going to look insignificant. i desire this facilitates.

Yes. And that love is so strong that we will lay our lives down for our brothers.

*shrug* I don't find JWs particularly remarkable in this regard - they neither lack nor possess fraternal love to any greater or lesser degree than any other Christians.
In fact, truth to tell, JWs are probably less remarkable in this respect than are the Amish, or communities of Franciscan, Benedictine, or Domincan monks or nuns. I've stayed many times with the Sisters of Providence, and they have a sisterly love beyond compare.
Certainly one beyond the need for posting such a curiously boastful question.

hey Jason, why dont you go on myspace and start a blog?
Your not even really asking questions, your telling opnion, but trying to make it seem like a question.
This is a forum used for people to ask questions in order to receive answers.
All you want to hear is "you are so right" or "i did not know that, please tell me more."
please go somewhere else and spread your word somewhere else.

"I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." (Revelation 2:9)
"Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee." (Revelation 3:9)
Here Jesus says the real Jews are his followers and the disbelievers are NOT THE REAL JEWS.
Jesus also promises the believers, who are now called CHRISTIANS, that the disbelievers, who are now called JEWS, will always be under their feet as a symbol that Jesus Loves THEM.

Right, I'm sure the flaws of the JW cult don't mean a thing.

Huh. Turns out jesus' true followers are actually pagans, wiccans and buddhists.
