The JW have so many phrases that are not found in the bible but that they spout as though they were deathly important. Here's one:
You have to keep up with present truth.
I always hated that saying.
Can you think of any?

Actually "present truth" is found in a non-jw Bible and was used during Russell's time.

"Jehovah" is not in the New Testament of any other English Bibles.
I think it is often misused in a temporal (i.e. the truth that exists at this present time) sense, rather than the spatial sense that occurs in the actual text. So "current truth", for instance, has been used as a term: "It is foolish not to keep up to date with current truth, and dangerous to push ahead of it" (Watchtower, 7/1/1995, p. 6).
Here are some terms that don't occur in scripture:
Theocratic
Materialized (body)
Organization
Circuit Overseer
Judicial Committee
Channel (of Commnication)
Stream of time
Advertise
Baptismal candidate
Governing Body
Something taught by the JW's is the expression, "Jehovah's Theocratic Kingdom " this is not written in the Bible . That is the answer to give them when they say the word Trinity is not in the Bible.
Here is one dating back to Rutherford's time. " Please stop your dog from cocking it's leg up on my gramaphone."
