Love Bombing Definition “Love bombing is the deliberate use of an intense, concerted show of affection by a group of people, toward an individual they seek to recruit or otherwise influence” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_bombing The Watchtower regularly reminds its members that it must be Jehovah’s organization because of all the love the Brothers and Sisters show for each other. Is this love naturally forthcoming? If it is why do the Elders have to be specifically told to do this with new members? Why do Jehovah’s Witnesses need to be trained to show love? Is this really “genuine love” as the Watchtower would refer to it.? The below quote is from the Secret Book for Elders. |

If you notice a new one standing by himself or talking only with the one who studies with him, take the initiative to approach and greet him and introduce him to others . Teach attendants to greet new ones, and occasionally remind them to do this . [...] Such personal interest lets them see that genuine love exists among Jehovah's people . Train all the brothers and sisters to take the initiative in approaching new ones and getting acquainted with It also fills the void created when they cut off former associations and worldly entertainment.
