Hi Xjwms,
Just curious, what's the point of this thread. What would you like us to write in response?

Comments at my meeting always started with "So we can see today...". Got old after a while.

Okay, I see what the thread is about.
You know what really used to annoy me? It seemed like every other comment started with the words: "Well, the paragraph brings out . . . "
Another one was during interviews at assemblies. It seemed like everytime an interviewee started their monologue, they started it with: "Well, brother Bobblehead, because of my love for Jehovah . . . . "

Here's another vacuous gem:
"And we can see from what's happening in the news today . . . . "

Any use of the word "benefit" in any of its conjugations...beneficial, benefitting, benefit-like (okay just kidding about the last one.)"Surely we all benefitted from this weeks Bible reading. It was truly beneficial. Are you benefitting from it?"

Oh, I just thought of another one:
Here's another trite phrase that they keep recycling in every talk about materialism:
"Yes, brothers, we often see bumper stickers that say 'he who dies with the most toys wins' ".
Here's another verbal turd they use:
"You see that worldly people have a nice big house and a motor home in the driveway, but they are never home because they are always gone working to pay for it."
Sometimes, I just wanted so badly to stand up with a bull horn and say: "Please, get some new material ! Jerry Seinfeld doesn't even recycle his one liners as much as you guys do ! "
