  JW Expressions We Hate

  by Socrateswannabe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i was browsing through stuff on jw.org recently and ran across some expressions that really grate on my nerves: loyal love, loving-care, and loving-kindness, as in: "please exercise loving-kindness toward your servant.

  " who talks like that?

  they must be relics of the fred franz era.

  The bloom of youth

  The spirit of a sound mind

  Spiritual food

  The other sheep/ great crowd

  Awe-inspiring

  Witnesses killed my friend today.

  today has been a horrible day.

  what began as a day of joy finding out that one of my lifelong friends had her baby, turned into a nightmare when her brother called me to let me know she had passed away after birth.

  i was in shock and didn't ask how.

  How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?

  by stuckinarut2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's amazing how the expression "the truth" has become such an ingrained term used by witnesses.. "we have 'the truth'".

  "is he 'in the truth'?".

  most here have found out so many facts about the organisation, and felt the effects of being "gut-punched" as we realised these facts.. so how do you feel about the expression "the truth" now?.

  Adult Homework and Extra Credit

  it seems that once we became sensible adult humans, we lost our way.

  we stopped asking questions.

  we submitted to the bidding of the world.

  What I would change first about this world is to have free and unobstructed "higher education" for everyone. At a minimum, young adults would be expected to complete a Bachelor's. And offer financial incentives for pursuance of grad & doctoral degrees.

  Quote from Manal al-Sharif

  by FayeDunaway in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  manal al-sharif is a saudi arabian former extremist muslim who was liberalized by the internet and became a women's rights activist in her country.

  reading this quote i was struck that her experience is similar to a jehovahs witness experience, including mine, and gives me hope that many more people who are brought up in extremist environments will wake up, no matter what their backgrounds.

  the internet is a fabulous thing.

  Contin-uous hyphen-ation

  by Xanthippe in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  i know this has been mentioned before, that words at the ends of lines are continually being cut in half and hyphenated.

  i think a suggestion was made and if i could find the thread i would follow it but it may have been removed, i've gone back in 'forum related' topics several months.. i can see it's not just me that it happens to and i have been trying to ignore it because life is too short and all that.

  i'm just starting to find it really annoying now.
