    I've been out of the org for around 10 years, so I'm not up on some of the jargon being used on the board.

    Would anyone mind making a list defining the acronyms being used (as many as you can think of)? I know there are tons of them; some of which are self-explanitory, and others have me stumped. I see a new one every time I log on. Some posts use so many that they read like Chinese. Or is it Greek?

    well, which ones have you stumped? I don't want to tell you what you already know.

    I guess I should make a list myself of the ones I know and don't know, but it's 4am in Maryland and my brain's not awake.

    I'll do that tomorrow and post it here.

    BTTT -bump to the top (as in the top of the active list)
    LMAO - Laughing my ass off
    WTS- Watchtower Tract Society
    WTBS- Watchtower Tract Society (usually referring to Britian)
    BTW- By the way
    COC- Crisis Of Conscious (book from Franz).

    Thanks for the info. I know the basic ones like WT, WTBTS, DF, JW. Some of the ones I have an idea of but am not sure are JC, GB, dub (I'm not sure if it's an acronym or not), cong (people seem to use it for hall, but I'm not sure what it means), DO, and many of the others that I see popping up.

    cong - congregation
    dub- As in "W" -witness
    GB- Governing Body
    DO- District Overseer


    I'll add more as they come to me.

    JC & Jebus - Jesus Christ; Jehooba (there are many variations!) - Jehovah.

    My, my. If you're not "in", you're "out". I think we need to form a JC and DF you without delay!
