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..

Well you should cultivate an enthusiastic appetite for the unifying yet sometimes granular nature of corporate communication synergy. It is a fact that the tangential convergence of linguistic tendencies throughout the corporate structure energizes it, so that the focus can be reshifted to the underlying mission and vision driving the dynamic to the bleeding technological edge, resulting in greater economies of scale and gains for the investor, so much so that they can hardly count.
Talk at you later.

First it starts with evolution - next thing we know you'll be promoting science!!!
Look evolution is one thing, but promoting science is where I draw the line.
So go ahead, make my day...

TheOldHippie,
Strange, the, that some of the foremost of them admit that if there is one thing they are, then it is being great story tellers.
There is nothing like a good story. And if it turns out to be true, Wow!
Now OldHippie, you promised the forum we'd all go the lake for the weekend and smoke some premo shit.
When are you going to deliver? I even bought a new bong.

If this system is by analogy the Titanic and is sinking and everybody is therefore looking for a lifeboat, I guess.what he is saying is that we should support Elon Musk to settle on Mars, right? But instead you now have people on the deck of the Titanic preaching about the iceberg. And what about the band that played on the deck? Oh we have the pop-star Prince today, silly me.Well at least in 80 years time there will be a movie about the incident with stunning special effects, with a mediocre love story and a so so theme tune. Meh, I can wait for the movie... In the meantime I'm watching Space-ex vidoes on YouTube. -

The deep things of Jehovah (tm) (c) patent pending:
Spiritual paradise - You get to read magazines written at primary school reading levels with some ok photos and the odd nice picture of a kid with a panda in a garden. Oh there are also some animations, some are about ice cream money.
Sacred secret - You get to go door to door and sit at the literature cart while thinking about shopping.
Gifts in men - You get to listen to endless special needs talks given by these gifts in men on how the organization requires your financial assistance. You may perhaps even get to have your first sexual experience with one of these gifts in men.
Well that about covers it I think.

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?.

How do you feel about the expression The Truth?
Well firstly you should use the correct spelling and pronunciation:
Its The Twuth and not The Truth, you know like Shibboleth vs. Sibboleth. These things are important.
So how do I feel about it? I don't know what The Twuth really means, but if there is such a thing it would seem that the Watchtower corporation is aiming for a point where its furthest from.

Landy you wrote:
To be fair, JWs don't join the army because they're pacifists but because of their stance on neutrality. Witnesses have never claimed to be pacifists.
You are absolutely correct. They use the term conscientious objector instead of pacifist (for legal reasons), however practically their action or inaction is indistinguishable from that of a pacifists. I find the difference philosophical instead of practical.
