Do some WT phrases make you squirm?

    For me it's "the doors of the ark are closing."

    I can never forget as a child, being forced to see the graphic images in the publications showing families, mothers with little babies clinging to a rock and others drowning as the ark floats away. Fathers shaking their fists at God for destroying their families... It's like some of the little mind control still functioning in there somewhere causing a kneejerk reaction of uneasiness...

    Are there any others that bug you?

    I remember this one CO or DO we had. Every other word out of his mouth was "IN THE ORIGINAL GREEK" like he was so much better than everybody else, and it was the way he said it that was so irratating. He was such a pompous ass from my memories.

    "the organization" is enough to make me squirm. The idea that they talk like God works through something that sounds more like a business.

    "even though they're worldly"

    as in, John is an honest carpenter, even though he's worldly.

    blecchhh! I guess I'm an okay person, 'even though I'm worldly'.
