Russia seeks to declare Jehovah's Witnesses an extremist group

Do you not approve of gay people?

I approve of all people, just not all actions.

Do you think slavery is okay?

No, and the bible doesn't require me to.

Do you think that children who make fun of an old man deserve to be eaten by bears?

Can't really answer that since we don't have any modern equivalents to prophets who directly represent God.

Do you feel that women should cover their head when in the presence of a man?

No, and the bible doesn't require me to.

Do you think wearing fancy jewelry is wrong?

No, and the bible doesn't require me to.

If your CHILD did something to get disfellowshipped, would you be alright with never talking to them again?

If your CHILD was an unapologetic murderer (or wherever else you might rightly strongly disapprove of), would you be alright with acting like nothing ever happened?

Obviously you have never experienced something like this.

You have no clue what I have and haven't experienced.

An ENTIRE family will cut them off and leave them with nothing.

I don't consider family as more important than God. I love my family, but I don't think they're deserving of my worship.

They teach to love one another as well. And that doesn't seem like love to me.

Actually that sounds exactly like love. Principled love, not love based purely on sentimentality. If your bleeding heart can't bear to stand on principle when it needs to then it sounds like the problem lies with you and I'm sorry to hear it.
