When I was a kid and being forced to sit through hours of JW gobbledygook at the KH, I was always disconcerted by the "witnessy" language that was in use.
Looking back now, I can see that having a private language, a language that only makes sense to the in crowd, is just one way in which devotees are bound into JW life.
I`ve recently been intrigued to come across some new and previously unknown phrases. This occurred during a lively dicussion with a JW who felt that it was OK to talk to me as he had his very own "private pipeline to Jehovah".
I`d just finished telling him how pleased I was that I had bailed out prior to 1975, when he said the following (in bold) phrases which he used over and over again:
"Oh, are you another seventy-fiver? Let me tell you, young man, that I am a servant of the most high God Jehovah!"
Seems to me that witness-speak has found 2 more phrases for it`s minions to parrot mindlessly!
