Euphemisms for cursing among JWs
by gaiagirl inin an effort to show that they had put on a 'new' personality, many who joined the wtbts would adjust their speech patterns to avoid common expressions of cursing or profanity.
yet there would still arise times when they would become frustrated, angry or disgusted at someone or at a situation, and wish to express their feelings.
here are a couple of substitutes for cursing heard among jws ...... forget you.

Adam and Eve were NEVER perfect.
by gaiagirl injw's frequently say that the first human couple were "perfect" and would have lived forever until they gave up perfection by their disobedience.. however, closer reading of the genesis account shows that they were never perfect, instead, they were designed to grow old and die, just like the rest of the animals.
jehovah has adam name all the animals, but finds that none of the animals is suitable as a companion (wonder how this was determined)?.
jehovah clones a companion for adam, and tells them to not eat the fruit of a certain tree, or they will die "in that very day".

Do believers in demons use them to avoid responsibility for actions?
by gaiagirl inthe wtbts teaches that "the whole world is lying in the power of satan" and that "satan controls all the governments".
also, even that sincere members of all other churches good works all are service "to demons".
so, when a jw, or other person who believes in demons, commits a wrong act, do you observe that they blame it on satan or demons instead of accepting responsibility for their own actions?.

Make a statement you have found to be TRUE.
by gaiagirl injw's like to refer to their body of beliefs as "the truth", even when those beliefs are adjusted or even reversed, giving rise to the question 'if this is "the truth", then what were the beliefs which were promoted as "the truth" until the change'?.
state something you have actually found to be "true", in the sense that, in your experience, it agrees with what is observed in the real world.. .
i'll start: knowledge is power
