What are your most hated JW words and phrases? (page 9)

You mean besides "resplendent?"

Actually, the most heinous is, "We'll just have to wait on Jehovah."

With those words, dubs dismiss all the personal dreams and aspirations of an individual, snuffing out creativity, fulfillment and the instinctive search for authentic self that humans have been engaged in since the dawn of time. At the same time, this phrase cancels out hope for the future, for a better condition in life, and worst of all, the need to act in your best interests and aspire to achieve personal satisfaction.

It is the worst possible thing one could say to a child or teenager and thoroughly dampens the spirit of persons of all ages. It is a matter of control and co-dependence, and is the WTS' most vicious, evil tool.

Hey, all of you who post here on JWD. I'm sure some lurkers are thinking, "If you all have so much time to sit and post on the internet, then you certainly have the time to make all five meetings, field service, even pioneer. You just aren't willing to PUT FORTH THE EFFORT!!!!"

Even that elementary "brother" and "sister" were irritating because they were so hypocritical as there was no real fraternal love among them.

Also the words this system of things and the critical way they said it was annoying because they were part of it contrary to what they claimed eg they were so materialistic and gossipy.

"Let us turn in our Bibles to Exodus 2:11."

"the pure language"... this one always annoyed me and "chosen nation"

"we'll all speak hebrew in the new order"

i hated all the prayers which were not actually praising Jehovah, but telling the audience what to do...

"the antitypical city of refuge"

"let us therefore do our utmost to remain steadfast, unmovable, always having plenty to do in the work of the lord"

"last year kingdom proclaimers spent some 1 billion hours out in the field"

"i placed 300 books in one day" (yeah, i "placed" some today too... "placed" them in the dustbin)

"inculcate"... synonym for "indoctrinate"

"whats the date today?"... "you should know, didn't you read your text this morning?"

(1) On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?

(2) Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in association with God’s spirit-directed organization?

(3) the truth

(4) fine spiritual feeding program from the Faithful and Discreet Slave { gag! }
