I always thought that the "Watchtower Bible and Tract Siciety" was trying to make their books as nice as the "National Geographic Siciety". Another one that I always thought of was "John Birch Society".
I don't know why.
The "Truth"--- Supposedly Pilate asked Jesus, "What is Truth". Did he get an answer?
Jimbo of the UN-Truth class! Ha Ha Ha! -

According to the search feature on the 2001 Wt CD-Rom [ the latest I have ] the Watchtower invented word "Happifying" was used;
In the Watchtower 35 times.
In the Awake 6 times.
In the Kingdom Ministry 1 time.
In various Books 4 times.
In Yearbooks 3 times.
In a Brochure one time.
The weirdest use that I found so far;
"LIGHT is happifying, especially the sunlight" Wt 9/15/62 page 549.
They seemed to have begun using it as early as 1951 - so perhaps even earlier than that. How can a non-word appear for 50 years in the text of these publications? Did no one in all that time decide to open a dictionary and see if it was real?
