    "you're not born homosexual, it's a lifestyle that you choose"... and yet, in the same sentence, they'll admit that a lot of bethelite brothers have homosexual tendencies, but, kudos to them because they suppress their desires... why would you suppress something that is chosen?

    is he/she good in the truth?

    we're just gonna go out for an hour today

    they're a really nice family... too bad they're worldly

    that's your 7th beer!

    why do you hate to please jehovah?

    "some" before a number.
    "There are some 6 million witnesses in some 234 lands offering books comprising of some 192 pages...."


    Yes "some" before numbers also drives me crazy...
    the use of the word "glean" drives me up the wall, (what did we GLEEEEEN from this weeks study, brothers?)...
    "how" not used as a question (and exessive use of the subjunctive tense) gets on my nerves... (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 eathly organisation has seen fit to provide us with food at the proper time)
    and "ones" always annoys me too...
    young ones
    honest-hearted ones
    teachable ones
    meek ones
    such ones
    upright ones
    faithful ones
    wise ones
    unwise ones
    wicked ones
    little ones
    bless-ed ones
    suchlike ones
    these latter ones

    Truth!!!!!!!

    He came in the truth...

    He made the truth is own...

    He shared the truth....

    He was baptized in the truth...

    He married in the truth...

    She was in the truth...

    They were in the truth...

    But their hearts was not ... in the truth...

    They left the truth...

    At least we have the truth....

    Ask the average JW what is the "truth" and watch their face as they mumble something about the bible or Jehovah's teaching.Then calmly tell them : The "truth" is the current teachings of the watchtower bible and trap society.

    Using the terms "C.E." and "B.C.E." while in school and having the rest of the class turn towards you with a strange look. And to think I always felt superior using these terms when other kids used the plain ol' BC and AD.
