"Some of the anointed remnant will survive through the great tribulation and tread the enemies of the truth like chaff under their feet"
Outdated doctrinal statement that only a JW would understand.
"Fruitage" is a word seldom I have heard outside the JWs
...food at the proper time...
I was always partial to "demonized."
One that was brought back to mind by a recent post is "apostate reasonings." I love it! Not apostate untruths, or apostate falsehoods, but rather "apostate reasonings."

submission---That one word has such hateful consequences
Jehovah will take care of it.
Jehovah was watching over you (when you did something good or accomplished something....GRRR)
I prayed and Jehovah answered (when you ask how something went)
Satan is in them
Jehovah will take care of them (the ones who Satan is in...see above)
Agape
Theocratic warfare: used to justify lying.
New world society
Congregation of JWs: we don't dare call ourselves Church of JWs.
Christian witnesses of Jehovah
"Satan is the god of this world"........as if GOD has no control over the earth anymore
"We surely are in the last days".............we've been for 2,000 years atleast that's what the apostle John taught.
"They are not servants of Jehovah".........I thought we were slaves of Christ
"It is the theocratic arrangement"...............said whenever something doesn't make sense to them
"In Jesus' name we pray, amen"..................that is all He is to them, a name at the end of a prayer
"We only teach the bible"........................................grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
"Likely" + anything that follows it
which 99 times out of 100 is UNLIKELY to be the correct conclusion.
"Christendom"
"Brothers, blah, blah, blah, blah," when 68% of the audience are SISTERS!

Not exactly "jargon," but I was amused at some of the optical-character-recognition "translations" that came up as I convert .pdf files of 30s WTS lit to Word (for a research project I'm working on):
Brooklyn=Booblyn, Crooklyn
Watchtower=Wretchtower, Whackedtower
Dang computers are smarter than I thought! LOL
Craig
LOL!
The elders will shepherd the flock with tenderness. (HA!)
Bloodguilty
Keeping the congregation clean (Pffffft!)
Aren't we so grateful that Jehovah has granted us the privilege of cleaning the Kingdom Hall on your one day off in the week? We should be overjoyed that we have been allowed this wondrous privilege! (*throws up*)
Don't forget to pick up your magazines for field service this Saturday!
One thing that separates us from the churches of the world is that we do not ask for money or pass collection plates. (Oh, but you know, if you die, you can bequeath your assets to the WTS in your will. And don't forget to contribute to the worldwide work, and the KH building fund, and the local KH fund to pay the mortgage we owe to the WTS, and the assembly hall fund to pay for the assembly in the building the WTS owns....)
