Maybe I just missed it, (the story of the word) - but I am seeing this word "happifying" in a lot of threads.
Can it possibly be that the WT actually printed this???
Happifying? Real WT quote, or are we joking -

Someone with the CDROM Watchtower could look it up for us. The word was used by COs during their visits.

I am almost certain they did; would have been a few years ago though, when we would indeed be happified to hear such elating words nearer the 'pure language of truth'. Couldn't put my finger on it just now, but it's got to be in one of the publications...if it was easier to do a search, I'm sure someone could find it...Blondie??

"Happyifying" is not a word in the sense of being in the dictionary (well it is in the online urban dicationary and undictionary), but it was used o few times every few years or so in Watchtower publications up to the year 1998. The word is absent after that, but makes one brief appearance in 2009:
*** pc p. 19 par. 4 Cultivating Faith in the Creator ***
Is it not most satisfying and happifying to worship and to have faith in such a God?

If I was a bored Watchtower writer I'd try to get happifying in an article every month. I'd also try to get "it is reasonable to assume" and "evidently" in as well - oops look like they already do...
