Hey Guys,
Was just wondering what is your WORST JW buzzword.
Probably all of us hate the "Just leave it in Jehovah's hands." line.
That's an easy one.
But my all time most annoying one is...
"Are you REALLY doing your best to Jehovah."
In other words, is your XX number of hours REALLY the best you could do - inciting Guilt.
What's yours???

"Jehover will provide" is definitely the worst in my books!
Another one that angered me was in a conversation I overheard. A pioneer? brother? just bought a new coat and was being complimented on it by a pioneer? sister?. His answer was "It's Jehover's blessing." Meanwhile, she had just lost her home. I guess some get 'blessings' while others don't.
Another one is "exemplary" brother, sister, publisher or whatever. Who decides who's "exemplary"? On what basis? Service reports? Elders personal opinions? In my experience, the opinions of elders were generally based on nothing but their own stupidity.

" Jehovah removed him/her from the congregation"
lots of growth in the org = "We have Jehovahs blessing" /// no growth in the org = "the end is near"

"Leave it in Jehover's hands." Catchphrase catch-all coverup,"self-terminating cliche"
In the day of Jehover's anger,"will you probably be saved"?
