Listing of common acronyms

1914!

Could someone list off the common acronyms and their meaning? I've been an ex-JW for a few years now and can't seem to remember a lot of them. I had no idea there was a society like this! Crazy!

IP_SEC

are you talking about board related acros and abbreviations?

What - like Watchtower created acronyms? I'm lost as to what you are looking for.

We've had a couple threads on this before:

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/23799/1.ashx

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/128852/1.ashx

From those two threads comes this abridged list:

WTS = Watch Tower Society

JW = Jehovah's Witness(es)

DO = district overseer

CO = circuit overseer

PO = presiding overseer

KH = kingdom hall

DC = district convention

SDA = special day assembly

CA = circuit assembly

R&F = Rank and File

FDS = Faithful and Discreet Slave

bttt = back to the top

btw = by the way

lol = laughing out loud

lmao = laughing my ass off

rotflmao = rolling on the floor laughing my as* off

Gopher: How do you instantly retrieve everything anyone asks about. Do you have 100% recall of everything everywhere, o great omniscient one?

With regard and envy,

Oh and what is the difference between the GB and the FDS? Heh, I'm catching on fast... just need to sand off some of that rust...

GB = Governing Body, the group of "anointed" men who sit around a table at Brooklyn and decide what is and isn't a disfellowshipping offense. Other than that, I don't know if they do much.

FDS = Faithful and Discreet Slave, supposedly the whole body of those JW's who are anointed and issue spiritual food. There is a mythical connection between this FDS and GB. In reality, anointed ones don't have any special position in the organization other than their heavenly hope and their partaking at the memorial.

MUM -

I don't remember all this stuff, I just like to know where to find it.

For searching this forum, I just click on "search" up above (to the right of the "member directory" link) and then clidk on the word 'Google Search' in the resulting screen. It defaults to searching through this website for posts containing the text you search for.
