Anybody else remember specific Watchtower cultspeak words and phrases?
So I thought of starting a lexicum of recurring cult phrases and words the watchtower uses. These were used to manipulate and had secret double meanings or were just used repetitively in strange ways. I've been out for 15 years but some that I recall are:
- "fine" "this is a FINE way to spend your time serving Jehovah." "what a FINE talk that was, brother."
- "honest hearted" what does that even mean? People who believe in JW religion? Does that mean 99.99% of humans who have ever lived didn't sincerely care about truth?
- "spiritual food" = watchtower propaganda
- "conscience matter" = fair game
I know these aren't that earth shattering but are just the most culty things I can remember. Anyone else know some?
