Maybe. But considering that some still call return visits "back calls", I'm guessing it'll be a full generation before the "DF" term falls out of use. If then.
No doubt, but "new ones" will never hear those terms used from the platform, out of sight, out of mind. I guess they think the new way is less offence to newer ones......that's my guess.

Yuck! I never thought about that, but I'd bet you're right.

So that's the latest newspeak. I keep on straying behind in Jehovah's Celestial lightining fast chariot!
I remember that we used to refer to disfellowshipping as df'd. As in, "so and so was df'd".
That is how I always referred to it when discussing it with other dubs.

Well now they don't say if someone is Disf or Disa...They just say so and so is not a witness anymore!
BTW...Is that you in the new avatar?
Maybe it's just a local thing, but here they (used to) say that "so-and-so got d'ed"" (pronounced like "deed")
Well it seems from everyone's responses that both forms are used by witnesses. I guess I'll just have to tune in better next time and see what they talk about.
Legolas, yes that is me. I figured it was time to retire the Herbert Kornfeld moniker.
yeah, kids here say it, its less abrasive than the whole term.
same old poison, new packaging....
Morons, you can polish a turd but its still a turd!
I really don't know whether im DA or DF'ed, i never stuck around after my frequent JC's to find out. Not that it matters, the pious bastards treat you how they want anyway!

Actually, it's even more pathetic than that because they treat you how they're told to treat you by the Society's thought police.
