    An elder who was from the deep South read the scriptures talking about how a nation, I believe, would be "sucking the teats". he kept saying it would "be suckin' the tits". He was the Watchtower reader and I recall it was in the late 70s that this article was being studied. I was howling so much I had to go outside to try to compose myself. (It was bad because the phrase was repeated what seemed like forever!).

    Hospitalization. I get tongue tied and add a couple extra syllables.

    "I believe, would be "sucking the teats". he kept saying it would "be suckin' the tits". "

    Hey minimus, what scripture is that. I don't remember any references to "teats" at the KH.

    Curriculum...... never fails I always add an extra 'l'...... I can't figure out how to stop myself either!

    I have written/typed out the word repeatedly but a week passes and I am screwing it up again!

    I had a very hard time correctly pronouncing the following phrase even though I was reading it aloud:

    The silent sea ceaseth and thus sufficeth us.

    Don't know why that was so difficult!

    It kept coming out: "The silent sea Thee-sus (instead of See-Suth) and thus Suf-fye-thus (instead of Suf-ice-uth) us."
