    I've noticed the use of "ones" for just about every adjective used substantively in the Bible

    -Stephanus, of the too lazy to check if I used the right words ones...

    BTW, have you noticed how much mileage they get out of the word "arrangement"?

    I think arrangement is one of the classier ones used when it comes to upbuilding words!

    You missed "dear ones" (paragraph 3)

    And in the Forgeoing Your Vacation for the Convention and Volunteering to
    Clean toilets     article, paragraph 6 mentions "such ones."

    And WHAT is up with the Written Review question #9, where it says Jesus felt
    intense emotional pressure in the Garden of Gethsemane because he was
    concerned about how dying a criminal would affect Jehovah and His Holy Name?
    I mean, he wouldn't have been upset about his upcoming slow and agonizing
    torture and death, would he? Of course not, he was just worried about bringing
    reproach on Jehovah's name.

    And finally no KM would be complete without a reinforcement of shunning:
    #35: "The loyalty that marks Jehovah's organization transcends every human
    relationship, such as that of close flesh and blood realtives."

    G'day Purple,

    You're so right! How could I have missed the "dear ones"???? !!

    So that makes how many examples of "ones" in just one article? Talk about the "Theocratic language"!!!!!!

    Cheers, Ozzie
