    LOL Calamity...

    Ok, here's another real annoying one.

    The ol' MOCK HUMILITY phrases.

    An elder gets off the stage and then someone says "good talk" or something.

    And instead of SIMPLY saying "thanks." He goes into this soliloqy about how it's "NOT ME, IT'S Jehovah." Or somthing like that.

    Like, can't you just take a compliment.

    Or you so holy that you don't DARE take glory for yourself???

    Just thank the dude and move on. Jeez!!!

    I always' hated the word Zeal. You must have zeal for the truth.

    Zeal always reminded me of a brand of soap for some reason. Zest = Zeal?????

    "If Jehovah wills"

    service rendezvous (early 60's term for meeting for service) We never could get used to that one.

    1. "The Friends" (As opposed to "The Enemies"?)
    2. "Is it not?, Are we not? Could we not?" (contained at least 12 times in every discourse)
    3. Meet me at John 3:16 (Last time I checked, the Bible didn't have any sidewalks)
    4. Youths
    5. Worldlings (Just an icky word to me)
    6. Gathering (As in: were you at the "gathering" last week) If it's a PARTY, call it one!!

    ``Out there in the world"

    ``Working a terrority to LIFE!"

    ``Fortunate" (offered by loyal dubs as an alternate to the inexplicably despised ``luck; lucky"--- almost as offensive to JWs as that other *uck word!)

    ``Fine" this, ``fine" that, ad naseum (as in ``fine talk," ``fine comment," ``fine meal," ``fine bowel movement," etc., etc.)

    ...stumbling someone... like they don't have responsibility for their own decisions.. on the other hand, it confirms the lack of indepenant investigation of reality.. simply go along like the good little sheepies
