Jookie, whats wrong with the Shulamite maiden, I always thought she was HOT !!! Breasts like pomegranates and all that ???
I worried a bit about the "lovable mountain goat" bit , but hey, whatever turns you on.
The JW speak was always sickening to me, because they copied each other, even in public prayer ! obviously not from their heart.
I don't think I EVER used one of those mentioned in all the posts above !
A sister from another Congo. came up to me after I had been on the platform at a Circuit Assembly and said "You always tell it like it is ", I guess because I did not use any JW speak.
Boy, why did it take me so bloody long to realise I should not have been there ?
All of their esoteric language made me throw up when I was in, to hear it now, even on JWN, makes me wish to puke.
If they had the Truth, they would not have to use all these buzz-words as propaganda to themselves, to try and boost their self-esteem.

Jeehovah's Organization:
Illegitimate coopting of Jehovah; JO is placed above Jesus' Christian congregation, and is one of the cruelest hoaxes in the history of the world
I trouble (lack humility):
Platform salvo to JWs with a pattern of questioning the scriptural merit of a doctrine or policy
Wait on Jehovah:
Nice way of saying JC authority will deal with those who don't get in line with doctrine and policy

I never liked the overuse of "cultivate"... spirituality in a Petri dish.
I did rather enjoy the bickering over pronunciation caused by the constant repetition of "contemplative" and "hyperbole" though.

'Help us to appreciate'
I'm not sure if it was just the hall I went to, but the dolts on stage would rattle this phrase off no less than 20 times per meeting.It drove me bonkers. Wish I could have turned it into a drinking game!
Also when they referred to the crackers and wine as 'emblems' at he memorials. For whatever reason as a kid I always thought of automobile hood ornaments whenever they would say 'emblems'

Good point about improper use of the word, humbly.
