[Questioninginla]

I'm interested to understand and know more about this group.  From what I do know, "God Bless You" takes the place of "hello" and "goodbye".  Why does this or any other word change matter?  Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.

IF, there comes a day when someone questions "is there something suspect going on here?  how could there be?  these people are so nice.  we greet each other with 'God Bless You'".  While not indicative (of bigger problems) in and of itself, it certainly could be said at such a point in time that the meaning has now changed to become greater than just hello and goodbye, correct?  In other words, what was once a simple salutation now has more than one meaning – how does this affect my thinking?

I have also heard "soft food/hard food".  To the converted member, it makes so much sense for the end to justify the means.  Surely we want to lead someone to eternal salvation!  Who wants to err in this process?  No one!  Therefore, give the prospect only what they can handle, correct?  Or, is it just an excuse to manipulate?  If not the latter, then why not just say that God allows us to manipulate….just a little bit?

What are more words that have multiple meanings, ex-members?  Does changing words matter?  (provide examples if you can please)
