"one of the bible study was listening and singing the song by Jason Mraz titled lucky with the chorus going like this;
Quote
'I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend.
Lucky to have been where I have been.
Lucky to be coming home again.
Lucky we're in love in every way.
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed.
Lucky to be coming home someday..'
and she was told not to listen and sing because of the word lucky in the chorus..."

"We had a DO include in his part on the CA about not using those types of expressions while texting. He particularly mentioned that we should NOT use 'OMG' while texting."

How about, " the Watchtower magazine contains errors, and the GB are not my leaders "....
I knew parents who would not let their children say "awesome", because only JEHOVAH (tm) is awesome. One kid went off the deep end and was DF'd. Control FREAKS!!

Being a teenager I wasn't allowed to sing the song from Irene Cara, "Fame"... because of the phrase "I'm gonna make it to heaven"...
And 'bless you' after sneezing wasn't allowed either, toasting with a glass of wine wasn't and congratulating someone with their birthday wasn't allowed nor receiving birthday wishes on your own birthday. Oh and don't forget the New Year's wishes... I recall when I was seventeen working at an office and the new year had just started. After a couple of days off we came back in the office and everybody started shaking hands and kissing each other and wishing each other their wishes for the upcoming year... and I just stood there, nearly paralized, hands behind my back, sheepishly smiling and praying they would leave me alone. It was all so embarrassing...
