    Alas no-one can control what gets posted on any given thread (except for Simon and the mods)...

    Carry on folks...

    Does anyone remember the term" Wholehearted" being thrown around?

    I remember the entire Wholehearted/Hole-hearted speech repeated over and over by various COs and Elders over the years. It still makes me retch...

    Wholehearted = Thoroughly brainwashed

    I'm glad you mentioned the Holehearted

    It made me sick when they said don't be Holehearted..but be Wholehearted....

    I love torturing other JWs by saying things like:

    • Last Supper
    • Old/New Testament
    • BC/AD
    • John the Baptist (even though the NWT uses it, they hate it)

    Whenever they'd get freaked out, I'd simply tell them those things already had names long before JWs came along and there's no point in making up new ones, because that makes us sound like a cult full of weirdos.

    I also refuse to call the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society "the faithful and discreet slave". I also refuse to use "Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses". It's like the nuttier they get, the longer the names for things become: "coordinator of the body of elders"? Really? When someone in my Hall came to me and was all excited about the "new light" of changing the name of the "presiding overseer", I dryly and sarcastically said "Thank God". They slunk away and never shared their excitement over the pedantic obsession with man-made tripe again; which was my goal.

    Vamp, I'm sorry, looking back through the posts I realise my first contribution was rather crude. There's something about WT-speak that fires up the toilet humour and sarcasm in me. I guess it harks back to the days of being sat at the back of the hall with my cousin as a teen nudging, whispering "He said <insert innuendo>" and giggling to each other to alleviate our boredom.
