"Vacation Pioneer,"

"Tower" (instead of Watch Tower, or WatchTower).

"Incidental witnessing." They decided it sounded too much like "accidental witnessing", so it was changed to "informal witnessing" in the late seventies.

There was also an attempt to discourage "Bible study" (a person) in favor of "Bible student" - "after all, you say 'law student,' not 'law study,' don't you?" - but this never caught on.
