What does DUB stand for?

What is R & F?

I keep on reading posts and going back in the archives but alas my question goes unanswered! Feel free to add any definitions that may come to mind!

C'mon help the new girl out!

Satanus

Dub > jw >jehovah's witness

R&f >rank and file

A couple more:

Nt < new testament

Ot < old testament

Narkissos

Hi Damselfly!

Dub = W = Witnesses (as a non-English, I took some time to figure that one out)!

R & F = Rank and file (as opposed to hierarchy) I guess.

This comes up every now and again. We really need to collate an aposto-glossary to go with Farkel's dub glossary in best of. So, this is one of those "here's a good idea, hope someone else does the hard work" posts.

Dammsel, jw = jay doub-le u, dub comes from the word double.

co = circuit overseer
do = district overseer
BOE = body of elders
kh = kingdom hall
fs = field service
ms = ministerial servant
jc = judicial committee

Another one: Borg. If you are a Trekkie, you will grasp the symbolism right away. If not, the Borg are a fictional species in Star Trek that takes over whole planets of people, controls their every thought, doesn't allow independent thinking.

witnoid, witless, kingdumb hell, kingdoom hall, faithless and indescrete slave, the list goes on!

Still my favourite: getting a borg-on, which I think means to become defensive when questioned on a difficult doctrinal matter. e.g. "I cannot talk to my mother about the WBTS' involvement with the UN without her getting her borg-on."

ROFLMAO = rolling on floor laughing my a$$ off.

joe hoba = jeehoover = jehovah = YHWH
