As a "study" I like to stop the JWs when they start using the borg-speak and ask "What on earth does that mean????" and "That sounds so wierd, what is that?" They don't even realize what they sound like, I'm sure.
a couple favourites:
"a talk"--what is that, a lecture or a sermon?
"my fleshy sister"--you have got to be kidding!
"Jehovah's loving arrangement"--that's why you kick people out of the organization?
"Christendom's false teachings"--you mean, the one's that I believe, and you are going to sit in my home, eat my cake and say this to my face?

good news
study, as in a person with whom a JW conducts a bible study: "I invited my study to the memorial". Makes them sound like a laboratory specimen.
Jehovah's loving discipline
Spiritually "weak" ones were told that if they had gotten out of the habit to study, they may have to 'force-feed' themselves spiritual food until their 'appetite' returns
System of things
worldly relatives

"Brothers and sisters, please take your seats. The meeting is about to begin."
Those words preceded the theft of substantial segments of my life, and were heard far too often.
"Open your songbooks to song no. XY"
The singing in the hall was like a bad laxative; it just didn't move me.
