So we all know the JW vocabulary is a weird one. What words or phrases bugged you the most?
a few of mine:
Namely
Girded
up-building
loins
undeserved kindness
and picking a random bible character and assigning them a "class" for the duration of WT article. example: "just like the modern day melchizadiahniahizadech class".
"Waiting on Jehovah"...So you're having the chicken fried steak with gravy on the side. I'll be right back with that martini.
happifying
heart condition
evidently
any sentence that starts with "How" or "What" and ends with an exclamation mark (!).
inculcate
it's almost like they're flaunting their cult tendencies in public with that word
type and antitype
INCULCATE!!! YES THANK YOU!
leolia- agreed. "what a fine witness was given!" "how greatful we are for our spiritual paradise!". *shudder*
wrong heart condiction
sheep and goats
Wise Christians
"Why!..."
And "don't leave Jehovah".
"We missed you last night"
"Years later at a convention, there was a tap on my shoulder and...."
The word 'evidently' and the phrase 'it seems that' are used to hinge doctrine on, but are used later to show that it was a 'suggestion'.
When a bro on the platform addresses the congregation as 'friends'.
'True Christians'
'Lovers of truth'
UGH!
