    I'm interested to know common phrases Jehovah's Witnesses use, but don't actually apear in the Bible (even the NWT). Especially phrases most JW's would assume are in the Bible. E.g.

    "paradise earth"

    "new scrolls"

  • AnnOMaly
    AnnOMaly

    Governing Body.

    "Great crowd of other sheep."

    According to Wikipedia, at least, the word "church" is derived from the Greek kyrios ("Lord") by way of the Germanic, not from the goddess Circe. However, the JWs still couldn't use the term despite its lack of pagan origins, because then they wouldn't be different.
