JW Grammar is...

*We are all from different cultural and educational backgrounds, we all experience different circumstances in life, and I don't mean to offend anyone on this forum in any way.*

With that said here are my observations, and I want to know what you have observed.

In my experience I have noticed a trend: zealous Witnessestend to exhibit the worst grammar when compared to non-Witnesses!

I want you to think back, or check it out for yourself if you haven't noticed it.

On social networks: compare comments on anything by JWs (especially the uber-zealous ones) with those of your atheist or other religiously affiliated friends. You will likely see a very stark contrast between the sentence structure, use of appropriate apostrophy, captilisation, and general logic of statements of JWs vs non-JWS.

Listen to them speaking: in person as well and make the comparisons I listed above.

What have younoticed, if anything?

Happifying!

wha happened?

Now that I'm removed from it, when I see dubs posting or debating, it really is embarressing for them. Run on sentances with no punctuation. I often have to read it several times to get the sense of what they are trying to communicate

Having just read '' facebook comments'', a slightly earlier thread by zound, ( and frankly, I was surprised ).

I must agree with you.

I really get a kick out of it when these so-called "approved associations" spew forth F-bombs, cuss words, and foul language that none of the others are using, LOL!

wha happened?

and the anger. It seems the moment you make a valid point the contradicts their doctrine, the anger and denunciations spew forward

That was one of my pet peeves. There were too many elders that couldn't speak proper English and their talks were horrible. I told my husband on many occassions that they sounded very ignorant up there talking and I would turn them off. Education isn't important to many of them because the "END" is coming so why should we learn how to speak properly.

but... but... we all know that reading Awake magazine gives one the equivalent of a college education!

Its a fair point.

Perhaps their irrational arguments and dependance on logical fallacies is even more disturbing.

There just seems to be no self-awareness when it comes to making really dumb assertions.

that was one of the things that appalled me at meetings - not all, but way too many had no concept of the proper use of the english language.
