  Willing association with true apostates, whether in person, by reading their literature, or engaging in electronic debate across the Internet, is itself apostate behavior, and therefore potentially a {disfellowshipping offense}, in addition to being extremely dangerous and outright stupid. It should be avoided entirely.

  Geez, this guy isn't biased at all! I think he might be an athiest or somethin'....

  "Sheperding call",
  To sheperd, "to take care of the sheep". As if! They are really trying to take care of the org. by snooping, showing up at homes unannounced.
  "Of the world", "fallen away from the truth".
  But (PAGAN) will always be my favorite. Me and my sister still laugh and call eachother that. It seems so dramatic.

  apostates:
  happy birthday
  happy holidays
  sex talk
  cursing

  this is not to be critical just an observation apostates tend to be overzealous about these things. It's a way of identifying, it's semiotics, a signal saying I'm an apostate.

  There must be more for apostates and I know JWs have thousands of signals to ID eachother.

  Crazy is doing the same thing over and over again when it doesn't work.

  My favourite apostate word my brother taught me...JOHO - Jehovah's Witness

  Joho words:
  Not At Home - Field service jargon
  the 'brothers' - the elders overseeing the congregation or the borg
  Resurrection Hope - the hope of being resurrected in the new system
  this 'system of things' - the current system ruled by satan
  heavenly hope - the hope of the 144,000
  great crowd - those with an earthly hope
  little flock - another name for those with a 'heavenly hope'
  Public Talk - Talk delivered to all interested ones on Sunday
  Bible Student - poor soul we should pray for
  Christendom - Christ related religions other than Johos
  Babylon the Great - ALL religions other than Johos
  materialistic - people who have nice things
  Reaching Out - doing more in god's service
  a 'simple eye' - not wanting more materially - to be content with a sadarse house, basic clothing and a window cleaning business
  Territory - the area in which Johos will terrorise the neighbourhood

  Ahhh...the memories...I could go on and on.

  The World Empire of False Religion
  Heart condition (as in good or bad, JW or not JW)
  The new morality is just the old immorality.
  spiritual sickness
  spiritual food

  You could go on forever (but only if you get: TA DA Everlasting Life.

  Now there's one. Say "everlasting life" enough times and it stops making sense

  Petting of ANY kind = fucking
