This post has really got me going.
Remember these:
Unbelieving mate
Unevenly Yolked
Commeration of Christ's death - What a happy term!
Eating Blood - May I have a second scoop of blood, please?

not even commit suicide!
Yes, they try to deny their membership any escape from their propaganda!
They don't want you to live or die either. And it's all for their lousy statistics!

Here are some of my faves:
Stand fast for Jehovah
Hall cleaning - this was of course exclusively delegated to the Sisters. We had a particularly oddball spinster sister who wouldn't let anyone else clean the men's toilets. I suppose having wasted 3/4 of her life in the Dubs that was the nearest she would get.
The New Order - could never hear that one without thinking of the band of the same name.
The Faithful and Discreet Slave - could never understand all that mumbo jumbo
Anything linked with " worldly "
Jehovah's Kingdom - sounds like a down market household goods shop
Agape love - sounds a bit pervy to me...

Why is family never number one its always the "brothers and sisters" that count.
