KURT BETHEL- The witnesses certainly do use weasel words.
BRINJEN- The truth. They always make us feel guilty asking us if we feel it's the truth.
MR. MAJESTIC- Great one liners you have ! That brother is young in the truth. Some leave, but you never forget it's the truth. I definitely remember those.
SPARKPLUG- " We love you " - the biggest hook line of all - unless people are sincere when they say it.
SUPERSLAVE- Marry in the lord. Waiting on new light.
WT WIZARD- I agree - think for yourselves. And educate yourself. I especially liked your ideas of reading , " Crisis of Concsience. "
ASPHEREISNOTACIRCLE- Ah yes, the " But where else will you go. " A classic ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

Here are some I remembered that were said to me and others and the replies were given in red.
If Jesus/Jehovah were standing beside you (doing whatever), would you still do it? - Normally I would say 'yes' just to nark the brother.
The Truth is actually a 'Way of Life'. - So is being greedy, but that doesn't stop egotistical elders.
Jah will correct things in his time. - I'm glad he not building my house, he'll need a millenium just to lay the foundations.
Jesus is in charge of the body of elders. - If that's the case, the ressurection has already happened and Hitler and his henchmen are in charge of the congregation then.

One that gets on my nerves is , "the society says" , so therefor is carved in stone or the one about "waiting on jehovah" which means the congregation isn't going to do anything and some how a miracle is about to happen.

Ive been told by elders since i left:
You need the meetings/Jehovah.
Your reasoning is false and i can see it.

Mr. Majestic
Here’s one that I actually got a reply to. Talking on the phone the day before yesterda to a JW who’s been calling on my dad……
After informing him that the society is corrupt, and a little more debate, he said the classic:-
"Well Mr.M, if you want to throw away your everlasting life, there is nothing I can do"
My instant reply was:-
"I’m not throwing away anymore life than I have already, and so are you if you only but knew it".
Felt good…..

"spiritually weak/strong" (purely a function of physical attendance and participation that says nothing of one's spritual condition)
"inactive"
"irregular"
"making progress" ...(toward what goal, exactly?)
"One Bible scholar notes..." (Beware the anonymous quotes. For all we know, it's the quiet Patterson cow milker who happens to have a King James version in his room)
