That brings to mind....
It is a humbling experience to be part of Jehovah's visible organisation on earth, is it not? Our hearts fill with gratitude, do they not? Let us lift our voices in song to our God! Surely we can all sing with all our hearts (these really crappy songs), can we not?
Who the hell talks like that?! Makes them sound like Yoda.

I have puzzled over "buying out the opportunte time" but I have no idea what it means! Has the term "community work" superceded "field service"? Oh, and I love "home but hiding"

"Similarly" I have never seen that word in anything but the Watchtower.
I remember my friends talking about different guys who were suddenly very spiritual as "bucking for MS". That always cracked me up.
