Why can't you celebrate your birthday?
Because in the Bible, the only 2 occurences of birthdays involved murders and besides, Jesus never celebrated his birthday because he wasn't a pagan.

Undeserved kindness (Does anyone know why JWs don't use the word "grace"?)
Oh yes, a pet peeve of mine. I think it's because the word "grace" is so beautiful and postive and the term "undeserved kindness" is negative, and just keeps the R&F in line by insinuating that they are worthless and "undeserving" pieces of $**t.
"Stumbled" as in "Be careful not to stumble someone with that behavior." Used to REALLY irritate me to hear that one.
"The Brothers" Once my Dad came over and was saying how he had just been to the other side of the city to talk with some "brothers". After he left my non JW spouse looked really puzzled and wanted to know why my Dad had been visiting some black guys...

You all are good- I like this forum.
Here are some more:Jane: "Oh, my cousin's coming down for the weekend."
Joe: "OH cool, is he in the Truth?"
Okay, now that I'm out of the Truth (lol), i friekin' HATE that Witnesses call it "the truth." Whenever I was in the Truth (lol, I'm just gonna keep saying it...), it always bothered me in my head b/c what if it's *dum* *dum* *dum* NOT "The Truth?" by calling it the truth 24/7, it presupposes that it IS the Truth, so it's another mind-control thing. THey tell you what it is ("the truth") before you even have a chance to think if it IS The truth or not! Ah!!!
Okay, getting off topic, here are some more...
wholesome recreation. kingdom hall. yeah, "meetings." "sister/brother." Great cloud of Witnesses. Narrow road vs. Broad and spacious road.
also..
"Demons" not ghosts. "kingdom hall" not church "meetings" not services. And..."Service" means field service, not church services-lol. "Jehovah or God" never Lord.
