    Which other organisation has such unity amongst their brothers & sisters.

    The faithful & discreet slave provide us with spiritual food at the proper time

    Let's bow our heads......

    I'm starting to feel my anger rise so I think I should stop now. Oh and by the way - my cousin will treat me like I'm spiritually dead but I'm still good enough for money.....but in showing that I am not bitter *cringe* I'll lend him

    "The Bible says....."

    I was going to say the opposite! I hate it when they say, "the scripture reads" instead of "it says".

    "Please turn to Galations 5:10. And it reads..." followed by scripture being read allowed.

    That and "as it were" really grate on my nerves.

    "ones".....as in disfellowshipped ones, ones that have disassociated themselves, etc.

    That and "as it were" really grate on my nerves.

    I'm ashamed to say that i use "as it were" extensively in normal conversation. I also often say "as well as" and "in so doing"... i first noticed this 'affliction' when my boyfriend (who's not english) once asked me to correct his résumé. I took out all the 'and's and replaced them subconsciously with 'as well as'... he came back to me and told me off for ruining his CV...

    HOW ungrateful the Isrealites were for Jehovah's continuing undeserved kindness on their part; HOW sad it would be, if suchlike ones were to draw away from serving jehovah; HOW grateful we are that Jehovah's earthly organisation has seen fit to provide us with food at the proper time

    As well as using "how" when its not a question, i also hate the expressions, "for their part" and "to see fit"... and...... oh bloody hell, did i just say "as well as" again?

    I'm on a roll... i hate the expressions:

    "like that of" as in:

    faith, like that of Abraham

    love, like that of a parent for their child

    tender care, like that of a shepherd for his sheep

    and "greater" or "antitypical"as in:

    Jesus, the Greater Moses

    Jehovah, the Greater Abraham

    Jehovah's earthly organisation, the antitypical Ark of Noah's day

    Jesus, the antitypical Maher... Malalash... Mashelashbash... oh f**k it!.... Mahershalalhashbaz
