I still leave mine in my phone, just in case they still try to call me for the scoop, the JC, or the DF informant. I don't want to be caught off guard answering them and having to talk.
I can't wait until I'm in the same position as you though!

Finally Erased them OUT of my phone!
by babygirl30 init's been about going on 2yrs that i've been df'd and not even 1yr that i stopped going to the khall at all...but...i'm proud to say that as of last night i was going through my phone and decided that i needed to just cut out all those people that didn't matter anymore!
you know, the old jw 'friends' (use that term loosely) whose numbers i've held onto all this time and don't need anymore.
i mean, never going to bother with these people again.

When did it happen for you? "Us/We" becomes "Them/They"
by Mad Sweeney init has only been around a year since i started investigating the borg and i wasn't really convinced that i had to get out until just a few months ago but it seems i've already begun calling the dubs "them/they" rather than "us/we.
" it wasn't really a conscious decision, either; it kind of just happened shortly after i determined to stop using the term "the truth.".
how long did it take for you?

It began before we stopped attending actually. We were having some difficulties with the elder body, and my parents, and so it was easier to say it that way. We could feel ourselves seperating in that way. Moreso me, but my husband was right behind me.
Straw that broke the back of the camel is when the COBE denied sitting on 3 committee meetings with us regarding a molester and my children. We couldn't believe it, and knew we'd NEVER go back.

Adding to the law
by Heartbreaker ini was once out in service, and we were talking about peeing when you sneeze.
yes, this is the conversation content that sisters resorted to sometimes with the longer than necessary drives between calls from one edge of the territory to the other, and back again.. anyway, one sister said that kegels were inappropriate for a true christian woman because it would stir up feelings and desire.
even if she were married.. talk about adding to the law, or going beyond things written!.

Any other way out there opinions that were shared with you, or you held while "in"?

Feel the Love?
by AK - Jeff inwe must hate in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme and active aversion, to consider as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest.
surely any haters of god are not fit to live on his beautiful earth.

No. I don't. Also, I feel the above quote would have never come from the lips of Jesus Christ, if indeed he was a real man.

Your most memorable Kingdom Hall meeting disruptions!
by easyreader1970 ini remember about twenty years ago some teenagers were caught fornicating in one of the additional schools.
the schools were downstairs, essentially separated from the rest of the kh.
they weren't just happened upon, though.

I've read through all the experiences, and really the only two things stand out to me...most recent was an elder in the hall was on stage and his cell phone started to ring at his seat. He was a single older man, and his ring tone was Cyndi Laupers True Colors. It rang through the whole cycle because no one knew who it belonged to. He was really embarrassed.
Back in the 70's a wild looking (to me as a child) hippie came in and sat on the front row. She had bell bottom jeans on that were SO WIDE, I'd never seen any that were so large before, but the rest of the jeans were super tight. She also had on a lot of necklaces, and a super low neckline shirt and a vest with fringe on it. Sunglasses and the whole thing. Meeting had already started, and she just walked down the front of the hall like she owned the place...it was awesome. After the meeting she said her boyfriend was a trucker and she would have him pull over to the hall if it were a meeting night and she'd attend while he got some dinner, or made a delivery. She said she came down the ramp off the highway and jumped the fence. That was so rockstar! She ended up cleaning up, assimilating to the bOrg and marrying "in the truth". She's super boring now.

I actually saw this movie, and found it to be pretty good. I love the correlation that the person in charge was not only not honest, but he was an asshole. Much like the GB members.

Interesting thoughts about expecting a visit soon, or him being able to say he did a visit. I think that he was checking to see if we even still lived there, as he knew we were having problems keeping up with our obligations of paying a mortgage with my husband laid off. I do know that I found equally funny that WE are still pulling THEIR strings, but other part of me was mad that they still feel the right to invade our personal space and right to be people living our lives in our own home and neighborhood.

(the COBE) he drove down the road (we live on a dead end, so there is no mistake, and we are 25 minutes away from him home and 18 minutes from the hall). She said he drove down, slowed and stopped in front of the house, looked at the house, and at the kids, and drove away.
We missed no phone calls from them, last call we ignored was at least a month ago. He didn't come back, or leave anything. He was alone, and in a suit and tie.
I just thought it was the most bizzarre thing. What could he possibly have been looking for/at, or hoping to accomplish? It's pretty far out of his way.

Borg court: 2nd session
by sd-7 injudicial committee, round 2. i have to give it to the elders on this one.
they fought well, albeit with unrefined technique.
pure strength of authority apparently seems to make up for a lack of sufficient evidence, just as the 300-pound fellow who believed you were checking out his girlfriend can beat the tar out of you even though you were merely looking at the clock behind her on the wall.

Christopher, I just wanted to let you know that I read your story, and am still so sorry you are going through this pain. It's just such a sucky thing, the way these men, plumbers and IT guys, and painter and electricians seem to think not only are they godly, but they are given a special link to know what god would want....and they morph themselves into judge and jury and give an unfair biased trial...and the whole thing just is just so unfair. Especially to your child, and yourself...and even to your wife, though she doesn't know it. Or doesn't want to know it.
I'm sorry. :(
