Not sure if this would qualify as "office jargon" but my boss uses the term "power flat" to describe a stabilizing land we put on the edge of some of the cutters we make in the shop. The term sounds retardified.

Office Jargon, drives me nuts
by punkofnice in'granular' seems to be the latest buzz word going around my office.
previously it was 'appetite'.. abstract words that appear to be designed to make the person saying it appear powerful and part of the 'team'.. as lord sugar has observed before; why not just speak english and say what you mean.. office jargon really annoys me.
i had enough loaded language and jargon in the disgusting jw cult..

I'm with OneEyedJoe. Kim and Mike made me second guess leaving the Org. I assumed that all apostates were like them, angry and bitter.
All they need to do is present the facts. Don't need to be douchy about it.

Aparently by virtue of recent literature dispensed by the wts the deep things include how deep are people's pockets. -

Having Jehovah as a friend.
by Darkknight757 ini've always found it amazing that people can say with such conviction that jehovah is their friend.. we are talking about a "friend" who perhaps daily "tests" us to see if we are his friends.
all of us have dealt with some form of hardship such as the death of a loved one, chronic illness or whatever.
it is in these cases that the brothers will tell a person that perhaps it is a test, or that "jehovah knows you're not ready" or some other lame excuse.. do our real friends "test" us to see if we will be loyal to them?

JW_Rogue you make a good point. Never thought of it that way before. It shouldn't be so hard to make someone real who is in fact a real personage. The only logical conclusion as smiddy brought out is that he either, A. Isn't interested in humanity or B. Doesn't exist.
Seriously the bible more and more seems to be nothing but a piece of literature that is used as a weapon to enslave humanity.

there have been other artifacts found with that of the egyptian scarab beatle which relates to sun worship.

Thought this was interesting although not sure if it is fact.
Who was Amun Ra?Ra, or better know as Amun Ra, gained popularity and fame from Dan Brown's novel 'The Lost Symbol' and 'Da Divanci Code.' Robert Langdon, in the novel 'The Lost Symbol', explained to his students at Harvard University how he prayed to Ra during full moon nights with others who believed in this mystical Egyptian King, who many advised was a being of another world. Langdon went on to explain how George Washington, too, prayed to Amun Ra. For me as an author, my introduction to Amun Ra was done by Jordan Maxwell, who explained, as to why Christians say 'Amen' at the end of each prayer. This is due to the fact The Vatican Church always wanted to pay tribute to King Ra, whose life they cloned into their own version called 'The Bible', and its Character Jesus Christ, who lived the exact same life as Ra; while Ra was born 3,000 years before Jesus.Secret Informaiton on Amun Ra!Amun Ra had a very similar pattern to Jesus Christ, per the book name "The Book of Dead". It is the holy book of Egyptian History.His mother name was Meri, while his father name was Josep. The birth of Ra, was predicted because of a comet/star. When he was born, the Sheppard’s, and farmers witnessed his birth. Egyptian King Herut tried to kill him for plaguing the minds of people about the one true God. When Ra turned thirty, he decided to get baptized. The person, who baptized him, had his head cut-off. He was followed by 12 disciples, and, since he is considered the son of Sun god, the 12 disciples were the 12 zodiac signs. Amazingly, he also performed miracles, and walked on water like Christ. Ra was also crucified like Christ. He was buried in a tomb, and was resurrected in three days. He also performed, 'sermon on the mount' like Jesus. I wrote about Ra in Kyirux II.The Lord of Truth and father of man: these were some of the terms Amun Ra was known as amongst his people in Egypt back 25-3500 years ago. Although Wikipedia has the dates for Amun Ra's historical indexing, they however are not accomidated by great researchers. Amun Ra's true date of existence is only an educated guess, even in the book of dead. The only way they have determined the date for Amun Ra's existance as the Egyptian King, is the hydrophilic found in the 'City of Kings'. -

Witnesses killed my friend today.
by WasOnceBlind intoday 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.

Most Poorly Written JW Book
by JW_Rogue inso i was thinking the other day that the wt corp has produced thousands of books over the years.
although the writers have changed the style is almost always the same.
however, some books are just worse than others.

What a piece of trash.

One older single sister said "we need to more than love Jehovah we should be madly in love with him!" talk about a cringeworthy moment.
There is an older sister that I know who says the same thing. She would often in her comments say how "when she fell in love with Jehovah" and then some nonsensical dribble would follow. đź’© Can make just about anyone awake run for a barf bag.
A brother as well as others told my wife and I that the personal tragedy we experienced last year were perhaps because God knew that we couldn't handle the responsibility being the big A was sooooooo close.
I can see why so many refuse to believe in God after hearing that a few times.

Do our real friends "test" us to see if we will be loyal to them? If you had a friend who "tested" you on a weekly or even daily basis, would you remain friends with that person? No. So why make friends with an insane, invisible psychopath who allows all manner of suffering on His friends?
end rant.

How do you feel about the expression "The Truth"?
by stuckinarut2 init'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?.

Honestly the term makes me want to barf. After finding out "The Truth" is nothing but lies, I really can't stand hearing that term.
The name Jehovah too makes me want to hit something.
I really hate the Org.
