Where is the love?

[shikinah]

I was contacted yesterday by a sister who I havnt heard from in quite a while. Our last meeting was when she was going to take me to a meeting last year. I arrived at her door and she had just got bad news that her friends dad had passed away. So the meeting was put off and I made my way home as it would have been to late to go.
She asked if I wanted a lift to the memorial, and I explained to her, that I would do my best to go, but at present im suffering with M.E and in a lot of pain, and that im also looking after my mother who is in a critical condition with DVT and have to be on constant watch, incase the clot moves to the lung.
Her reply was "you better make sure you get to the memorial and make Jehovah happy"
There was no word of "how is your mother"? "do you need any help" "how are you coping your self"? Or i'll say a prayer for her, where does this Robotic mentality come from? Isnt the law all about LOVE?
Time and again I see this careless attitude amongst witnesses which honestly and truely turns my stomach, forgive me Jehovah but im trying to understand how you go meetings for years and years, yet they understand nothing of Jesus teachings.

Wow this is gutwrenching and I am very truly deeply sorry Ms. Shinikah. I can honestly say my first utmost gut reaction would be to care for you and your mother. The memorial at the KH would imediatly be completly in the back of my mind, after hearing this.


Storys like these is what pushes me farther and farther away from the Kingdom Hall and all of their meetings. Yet at the same time I am human and thrive when I am in contact with fellow Humans. Maybe this is the reason I am being drawn away towards other christian denominations.

JB thank you for your concern, but do you know what, when I read biblical accounts of Jehovahs people in the scriptures, they were like this, obviously not all. But theres something about serving Jehovah which causes a certain mindset, I guess its "we are Gods chosen people" . Jehovah has said his people are a stiff necked people, and how sometimes they had made his heart feel regret at ever creating mankind. So really in a strange way its yet another sign that they are gods people. There are very good people who serve Jehovah, but as the scriptures say there will be a seperating work done within gods house hold, this is why we have to look beyond the surface to see whats really going on. I feel your in the right place JB, you've been thrown in at the deep end so it must be confusing, just keep up your prayers and Jehovah will make it clearer for you as the light gets brighter.
