Do you think that some Ex-Jw's

do you think that some ex-jw's still hold to the type of thinking of active jw's.

in that they like to argue every single point out to the point that the other side does not even care anymore, and wonders why anyone even took it that far.

i am not quoting any exact example, but i have been on enough sites to know that there always seems to be a few who like to do this on all sites.

last thursday.

i happened to see some tabloid reports stating that she went home in tears blah blah.

just to share my experience with her she did basically state that she distrusted the judicial system and there was a lawyer that seemed to question her rather harshly imo but she's not all the tabloids really make her out to be (this was not the first time we had met btw).

State Benefits how does it affect the brothers

firstly may i thank all those who took the time and effort to respond to my post on the subject of circuit overseers and corruption?.

the majority of your replies were very well balanced, and i do take the point that not all c/os were or are indeed corrupt, and that there are sincere and genuine brothers out there.

with regard to my new topic, i encountered some very strange thinking from bethel, than what was actually contained within the printed pages of the awake magazine.

as an ex presiding overseer and public affairs spokesperson who is now disfellowshipped!!!

i am new to this site and have read with keen interest the many and varied topics that have been posted.

during my 9 years of presiding i encountered certain corrupt c/os for example the friends would treat them like little demy gods, hanging onto their every word, they would, on their visit influence the brothers to part with cash for privledges.
