... ruined certain words for you? Words like "the Truth," "watch tower," "Jehovah." Each time I hear words like these get a strange mental reaction.
How 'bout you?

And of the buzzwords give me something akin to a gag reflex followed by projectile mental vomit.

I remember hearing certain Comics and their jokes. When they said something bad about the JW's I found it wrong and find to not like them as much. Now I laugh out loud. If you think about it it's funny half of the crap we used to do.

When I see this in the news, it makes me look twice and feel uneasy:-
A concerned discussion is ensuing over whether the religiously oriented Shiite parties in Iraq will want to impose a theocratic government, similar to the regime in Iran.

Good call Brooke about the comedians. The very name Jehovah makes me have all kinds of mixed feelings. Usually hatred wins out. Anyways, whenever I hear the old Hendrix tune All Along The Watchtower, the JW's are the first thing to come to mind.
