why dont i hate you, i dunno, i dont hate anyone really, did i not make this plain
already? Now if you read the article, which you didn't prior to posting it because you
merely attempted to produce it to defame our reputation, when it sadly backfired on
you when it was demonstrated that you had not read it, it states that we are to
hate haters of God, not apostates, you really aught to read hate speech before
posting it, otherwise you will look rather silly, like you are about to in a moment,
from the article itself,

Men may condemn us and still may be forgiven. We do not love them for their
hurtful works to us, but there must not be hatred toward them on this account.
Rather the commandment is to pray for such persons. But the situation is entirely
different when opposer get to a state of antagonism against God and the spirit,

are you able to discern the difference, it was after all pointed out in the article , that
you NEVER read prior to posting a quotation from it, nor seem to have taken the
time to read it since.

Piece of unsolicited advice, make sure you read articles prior to posting them or
prior to making reference to them in your posts, otherwise you are simply gulping
down junk food and we are after all, what we eat. Ironic considering the accusation
was that we are unable to think for ourselves.

How exactly does the JW organisation define "hate" and "haters"?

? If i am a Muslim and I convert to Christianity Islam considers me as an apostate,
have i demonstrated a hatred towards God, nope, i have merely adopted Christ as my
exemplar rather than Mohammed, yet I am considered an apostate.

an excellent question, for example the Pharisees of Christ's time, despite the fact that
they witnessed the miracles (a product of Holy spirit) still schemed to have the Christ
killed, thus they demonstrated a hatred towards God who sent the Christ and against
the Holy spirit which should have authenticated in their minds that Christ was indeed
from God through the miracles, so in two instances they demonstrated a hatred
towards God and the spirit.

How does the JW organisation define "hate" and "haters" in a few contexts?

I dont think ill be taking any lessons from someone who posts deceptive articles out of
context without actually taking the time to read them, in honesty.

Well robbie implied that he knows the answer when he said "depends", so there's no reason why he can't tell us how those words are defined by the JW organisation.

it depends entirely upon the context. To which context are you referring to, you have not said. why not?

I understand that; so, perhaps you could mention some contexts, and then tell us how the JW organisation defines "hate" and "haters" in them?
