Upbuilding!

It annoys me to no end in what context the WTS uses this word.

Andee
Who prefers upbuilding, well, *ahem*....back to the penis thread.

Closed minds always seem to be connected to open mouths

"Up-building". Totally incomprehensible dub-speak. Means nothing to anyone, anywhere, almost on a par with "Points up".

My special faves.....

"Similarly"--the WT reader consistently pronounced it, "sim-uh-LAIR-lee", used to drive me INSANE...

"ones"--as in "discouraged ONES", "interested ONES", "such ONES", GOD I HATE THIS SO MUCH!!!!!

"spiritual fruitage"

"double life"

"fornication"

"birth canal" and "male organ"--does anyone remember those articles (really old) titled 'A Father Talks to His Sons' & 'A Mother Talks to Her Daughters".

and who could forget "Rendering the wife her due" (or some such shit, I forget the exact phrase)? ARRRRRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!

Many more.....

I don't know why I was so stupid in my younger years, but when I was told it was a "privilege" to clean the hall I should have caught on.

How about the word "visible" as in "visible in the field service" How I kept from telling them f u when they used that term on me I'll never know.

I've gotta check out on this thread, I'm getting way to angry

There are only 2, for me.
"organization" and "The Truth".These words make my blood pressure rise.

All of the above, plus, "advertise, advertise, advertise". I wanted to scream whenever I heard that!

Not sure if anyone mentioned this: "evidently". A word always used when there was the least evidence. "Evidently, Jesus appointed us as the FDS."

My all time is hate is "the Truth". Nothing irks me more than people who call JW religion "the Truth", even worse when exJWs still call it "the Truth" and aren't being cynical.

Mommiedark mentioned "happify" or "happifying". Some of my colleagues at work are frequently amused when I ask at the end of a meeting, "is everybody happy?". When asked whether I really cared if they were happy I said, "my goal at work is to make sure you are happified." I love that word, NOT.
