Our concern when faced with the use of WT stilted vocabulary, is to be made aware of the fact that when a member of the WT system uses certain words or phrases, that these are pregnant with affectations deliberatrly imposed by the centralized leadership of the WT.
For instance when I say that we are now about to embark on a "Bible study" you will understand exactly what I mean, as any free person would. You would know that I am referring to an investigation of a specified portion of Scripture, Romans chapter 8, for instance, using the Bible ALONE. However such an analysis presupposes a variety of explanations, beliefs and religious experiences, all of which are capable of being recognized in any civilized society. But this is intolerable to the leadership of the WT movement. To them, the Bible must be seen to say EXACTLY what THEY want it to say. Hence the intrusion of WT literature.
When a member of the WT movement refers to the expression "bible study" he/she is referring directly to an inculcation of WT theology using a prescibed piece of WT sponsored literature. The indulgence of this literature, enforced by WT fiat, ensures the R&F are aware not of what the Bible says, but rather what the WT leadership says the bible says.
Sever members of the Headquaters staff of the WT have testified to their expulsion from the WT movement simply because they, like Martin Luther, insisted on Sola Scriptura.
I remember in previous years, after a particularly ardous study of a WT article, a member of the congregation remarking how "deep" the study was. In fact, the exact opposite was true. It was in fact a very shallow study. However it was admittedly a very complex study, the complexity measured by the writer's inabilty either to cope with the modulations of the English language, or to grasp the finer points of the theology he was in fact writing about. This is how an illusion is created in the minds of the WT follower that what is being discussed is "deep"
Here's a snippet of a conversation between a WT adherant, and his/her spouse, to illustrate this anomaly - the WT person speaking first:
"Hi, honey, hey! Guess what? I did a terrific bible study last night"
"Oh yeah? You mean you've been reading the "bible teach" book again?"
"Yes !! How the hell did you guess?"
Cheers
