Nothing. I tried to divorce myself from their innane lingo even before I left. For instance, I would call it the "organization" -- never "the truth."

"in the truth"
as in, "she's still in the truth, so she won't talk to me anymore."
not that I ever thought it was the truth. to me, it was a nickname of sorts. it lost all meaning for me early on, so I never thought of what I was saying. it just seemed like the unofficial/alternate name for the Jehovah's Witness religion was The Truth.

I refuse to call it the "truth" either. I use "organization". Or if I am really mad, "organization of imperfect men." This also irritates my honey no end.
I am also dropping "worldly" and "christendom's churches".

i say "in the truth" on accident a lot. i notice that it's difficult to talk about Witness stuff with non JWs/ex-JW's because i rattle off words like "book study", "field service", "talk", "elder", "assembly", etc without even noticing it.
