I get into words, and why certain words are used, and the meaning of certain words as they are used, especially by the WT&T$. I noticed the way this statement about relief work in the Phillipines news article on j.worg was written:
"An estimated 15 to 20 percent of those seeking refuge at the site are non-Witnesses."
What is telling about the way it is written is that Merriam-Webster defines the word non as 2 : of little or no consequence : unimportant : worthless. However the word not is defined simply as 1- used as a function word to make negative a group of words or a word. One way of writing would imply simply not JW's, while the way it is written is belittling, demeaning, and derogatory. I know that this probably doesn't matter to very many others and may be thought of as a very small thing, but it is many cummulative small drops of water that can form a river that will flow for years cutting into the earth creating something as large as the Grand Canyon. So too with the WT&T$. Many small seemingly insignificant affronts to human dignity will carve a chasm of indifference that will never be bridged.
