"Is that scriptural? Would you watch that film/TV programme if Jesus was in the room?"
"Pray to Jehovah to readjust your thinking....we have noticed you have been showing signs of spiritural weakness lately. Your husband will never be granted privileges if you continue with that worldly attitude......."

What about those that are "coming along" ? ! ?

Or what about...."enjoyed your comment brother" ! ! !
I also hated the fact that they would say "brothers" from the platform, when it was quite clear that they were meant to include the females in the audience too. That was so sexist!

These are real goofie statements:
"Brothers, what part are we playing in taking the good news about Jehovah's undeserved Kindness to deserving ones in the territory?"......huh

I'm still laughing about the hair on the teenager's upper lip getting him into the new system. LOL
"Spiritally weak"
"Spiritually low."
"I hope sister so and so is listening to this talk."
Oh and that "ones" thing bugged the hell outta me and still does. Those ones who believe...... yadda yadda yadda. Why not just say "Those who believe?" Where did that "ones" thing come from anyway? Oh excuse me, that was wording for God's people.
And what's with that thing about the words from the platform come from God? HUH? Does God screw up? I don't think so.

this wicked system of things
prove yourself worthy

yup and every single one of them is a way to control people.
Specially coined phrases used by a group that outsiders would not understand are mind control techniques. They stop people from thinking clearly. With one or twoo words a whole concept is conveyed that requires no more thought on the part of the listener - just acceptance and mental shut-down

How 'bout, "Wasn't Bro xzy talk so inspiring, I really APPRECIATED that..."
And MY ALL TIME FAVORITE "The World Empire of False Religion" of which the JWs are at the very top of the list for they indeed are Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots...
