but it was used o few times every few years or so in Watchtower publications up to the year 1998. The word is absent after that, but makes one brief appearance in 2009:

Happifying? Real WT quote, or are we joking -

Evidently someone who was very unhappified.

That term is a word I have seen a lot in the littera-trash during the last few years before leaving. It means "That which makes happy". "Happify" means "To make happy". Of course, none of the "happifying" items actually made anyone happy, except those at the top of the religion.

Well, I always thought "The happiest people on earth" was stupid - but "The most happified people on earth" is doubly stupid.
At least doubly stupid.

What would the antonym be? "Sadified"?
They should just continue the trend...how about this paragraph:
In today's society, it is truly depressifying, even anxiefying, to read all the bad news around us. The increasing crime rate is frightifying, and it is most grievifying when a love one dies. But how excitifying to hear of the thrillifying good news! How heartwarmifying our hope is! With such gladifying prospects in front of us, we should never be lukewarmifying about our preachifying commission.

Jesus spoke on the mount of olives, evidently olives are a healthy snack food endorsed by the Christ for Christians
It is reasonable to assume, then, that we as Christians should include olives as a snack at least once a week, perhaps even doing so while engaging in the door-to-door ministry. Imagine our delight when we partake of the perfect snack food endorsed by Christ himself! To be able to share in this most sacred ministry while maintaining our health is surely a provision from our loving God, Jehovah. How happifying!
@sir82, I would have put "preachifying" there are the end...just for a little extra seasoning... lmao

The first person I saw that used it on this board of late was punkofnice (though it may have been used before)... I about fell over laughing because I remembered the word from litteratrash past!

Good catch! Done.
Two sets of eyes are betterifying than one.
