Pronouncing things differently so they don't sound rude. Typical CULT persona. Political correctness?

I noticed over the years how Bros & Sis(TM) would pronounce words/names differently or totally substitute them so as not to sound offensive.

EGs:

Instead of 'Bible aids' a bro(TM) said 'Bible helps' thus avoiding AIDS disease!?!

Instead of Sodom the bro(TM) pronounced it 'Sow Dom'

Then there was Shy tim instead of Shittim..........which I found even more hilarious.

A pious Sis(TM) pronounced Bichri (sheba's dad?) as Beach-ree thus avoiding saying the word 'Bitch'. I think it's probably pronounced Bick-ray anyway.

Any examples of a Dub 'Nanny state' mentality you've noticed?

2+2=5

Instead of YHWH they like to say 'Jehovah'.

It works the other way too, when they opt unmotivated for phrases like "bees that were molested". Where did that come from?

Sometimes it worked the other way. I remember Brother Nice-But-Dim doing his part for the Muppet Show (TMS) and speaking about burning braziers. Except he pronounced it burning brazieres.

Maybe he had a thing for hot ligerie.

2+2=5 - Oh, snap! Nice one Cyril!

SBF - I agree. It seems the WBT$ are obsessed with molesting......usually children!

citn - Ah yeees. That reminds me of a bro(TM) that was conducting the washtowel 'study(TM)' called on 'Sister Vagina'. Her name was Virginia!

How many times has 'organisation(TM)' been mispronounced as 'Orgasm'?

Me and my brother always laughed at the song where you had to sing about not sparing the rod. I just remember the verses came off kind of child molester-esque. Even though this doesn't have anything to do with pronouncing things differently. Some of the comments here just reminded me of it.

MrFreeze - No surprise that anything WBT$ is a kiddy fiddling referrence.

Anyone remember the headers in the bible? About Baalams ass is said = 'His ass speaks' Oh, how we chortled.

We had one elder who always pronounced king Asa as Arse-a.

And as a youngster I couldn't contain myself when I learned there was a place called Nob.

Even now that makes me smile - what a juvenile lol.
