I was just reading a post here that some one said they were DFed and there was a coulple of DAed persons attending the CO visit.
I can not think of any senerio that would place me in that position. PLease clue me in why would one go to a KH if one has DAed oneself? This sounds as if one is suffering from sadism.
That is the last place I will ever go since I am DAed.
Just wanted to listen to the crap first hand with a different perspective. Every time I heard something retarded, I couldn't wipe the shit-eatin' grin off my face.

Excellent question rekless, I've wondered the same thing. It will be interesting to see the responses.
My hypothesis:
- go for a good laugh when there is nothing good on TV that night.
- go to create a literal buzz in the Hall, just to cause an upset without actually doing anything obtrusive (if they are talking about your presence, they aren't taking in "Spritual (poison laced) Food"
- go so you can ROLL YOUR EYES when the speaker says a particularly cultish thing; the type of thing that your Double-Thinking (TM) "friend" who has been "studying" with you (to help your "spiritually weak condition") insists they don't say [I've done this, it was cathartic for me, but ineffective to help my "friend"]

Yes, BritBoy, we have shit-eating grins. Which really means; when you hear something so stupid that there's no reasonable way to reply, but all you can do is smile.

I'd probably need jaw surgery to correct serious deformities caused by sitting in any Dub meeting for more than a few minutes these days and grinning my ass off, looking at all the *cute little Dubbies who have no clue what is really going on*, heheee.
That, or cocaine or something to keep me awake.

I went to the Kingdom Hall for 2 years after DA'ing myself with my children.
I had been railroaded into being DF'd for leaving my abusive elder husband. THey couldn't even come up with a charge. I also had turned in my father for molesting me to try and get protection for my children to no avail. "we weren't on that committee" (He has admitted his actions in court, for the record) I was at the end of my rope.
I went to the committee meeting's and appealed the final decision. I won the appeal but stood up and shook their hands and DA'd myself at the JC meeting. I still believed the "truth" but thought they were a rotten bunch of elders. They eventually called me an "uncontrollable woman". I took that as a compliment. I DA'd myself to actually protect my children from my father as we would be shunned and to distance us from my ex.
I attended meetings and was recommended for reinstatement 4 times by 2 BOE's but it would never make it past the original committee. They were covering that they screwed up.
In the end, I bumped into a couple friends who had also left due to finding out "the truth about the truth" and helped me out the door.
