    I get a lot of laughs from the deviations that you guys come up with. Some one from the UK started calling it the Troof, which cracked me up. The other day I saw Kingdumb Hall. I've just changed it to Kingdumb All. Would love to hear more. I spose small things amuse small minds. :-)))))))))

    Yeah, I love those too! I think they're called spoonerisms.

    Ones I've heard include Witchtower and Afake!

    Kingdoom hall of Jehovah's Witlesses.

    One of my favorites was coined by TR. He calls them Jehoagies.

    I refer to JW's as Watchtower Clones.

    When I first came to this site and heard the term Borg for the WT I was in stitches.

    Join the Watchtower or you will die.
    Only Jehovah's Witnesses have the TRUTH all other religions EVIL and from the Devil.
    You must beleive the Watchtower or you're going to die a painful death forever, isn't that really GOOD NEWS?

    My stepson calls them Jay Holies.

    The term "borganization" probably first began to be used around 1995 on a Usenet site called "jesus-witnesses". It was quickly shortened to "borg".

    Remember when we went to meetings and we called it "The Truth".As in "How long have you been in the Truth"? I now call it "The LIE".A few friends and I are all reformed Watchtower whores and we still have to catch ourselves when we say stuff and refer it to the "Truth"

    Someone, whom I can't recall, posted the other day and called
    the Jws "Jehobah's witnesses." I had an aunt who called them
    the " Jehos." And some Russians, I read somewhere, call them "Jehovahites." A local paper dated 1918 called the Russellites
    "Mussellites," but that may have been a typo.
