what unique to jws phrases do you remember?
something fun for those of us taught to speak an entirely unique and pure language.
there have been posts in the past in this forum but perhaps some have new ones after having kept up with jehovah's chariot as the light gets brighter.
Yes, stillin, taking the lead but the elders are not "leaders." Yet the WTS has said that the elders are shepherds of the flock.
elders = shepherds
Therefore, the shepherd’s joy is in the lead position, paying attention to all the congregation of God, beckoning them to ‘become imitators of him, even as he is of Christ.’—1 Cor. 11:1.
A good shepherd will lead sheep to tender grass and clear water.

I wonder if people like Michael Jackson and Prince used their "unrighteous riches" to get preferential treatment from the WTS/GB?

tiki, you are right, the prisons I have visited had metal detectors, and for some family members and friends, maybe even more than that, if on a watch list for contraband. Maybe some jws violated that requirement even by accident, putting them on the list.
a close-by young brother, actually your basic, garden-variety, sexually-repressed, 40-year old virgin in the congregation has been charged with sexual misconduct with a minor.
i've known this guy since he was a kid and he has always been strange, in a nerdy kind of way.
he always wants to sound knowledgeable and wise when he comments at meetings, but i think he is bi-polar and depressed about who he is in life.
Perhaps that statement was too strong. Based on growing up with a pedophile father, I am not so likely to have much empathy for pedophiles. I tend to have empathy only for the victims.

I always wondered what the WTS phrase "present truth" meant? The WTS seems to imply that somehow "truth" changes, there must be a different past truth and a different future truth.

In 1922, Watchtower released an article titled "Divinely-Given Chronological Parallelisms." Is the reader to believe the interpretation in the Watchtower was divinely-given, or just the Bible verses it was based on? Watchtower can say they never claimed their interpretation was divinely-given, yet that is very much the conclusion a reader would likely draw, after reading the article.
"It has been shown in a preceding article that the parallel dates of present-truth chronology are proof of divine foreknowledge, and that they demonstrate that the system is of divine origin. ... So present-truth chronology is not an invention, but a discovery." Watch Tower 1922 Nov 15 p.355

i'll be the first to say that the russian government is pretty terrible and overreaching in its', power but that's not what this is about.
in a recent hearing, a witness for the jws said this under oath:.
one thing makes jehovah’s witnesses unique: they do not rely on strict rules or the authority of any particular leader, instead, they try to help adherents develop a bible-trained conscience so that each individual can personally and voluntarily make decisions guided by the bible.. i'm sorry but that is just not true.
Enter "cognitive dissonance.".... Two realities at the same time. 
Ain't that the truth!

I might add, pedophilism is not a mental illness. I am sorry about how he grew up, without any outside professional help evidently, but I hope he gets the help he needs to learn what he can do not to offend again allegedly. Remember that the victim now has a slew of emotional issues to deal with their whole life.
