In the book he described his father as an unsuccessful salesman who was often unemployed. His mum would often have to take up side jobs like a nanny or housecleaner to make ends meet.
Sounds like they'd be the type of JW that put more effort into milking the benefit system than finding work.
Poor parenting may be where some people learn to be work-shy.
If Watchtower really is now teaching that it’s not necessary to accept the truth and become a JW before the great tribulation, then what’s the point of being JW? I mean apparat from if you enjoy it, if it has no bearing on whether you’ll ultimately survive Armageddon then what’s to stop people taking the option of sitting back and waiting?
Why would they make this change? I can’t think of any financial or legal motivation, as behind so many of their changes, so why do it? It doesn’t make any sense.
Yes I think Simon is right it’s to do with the question “so is God going to slaughter everyone who is not a JW?”
They might have gotten feedback that recruitment is harder because of people reasoning that God is really an asshole if he's going to be killing a shit-ton of people who never had a chance to learn "the truth".
Religiots have no winning argument when it comes to addressing this issue.
People generally find psychopathic killers unappealing. It's an easier sell that he's a "loving god" (the fundamental cornerstone of the whole belief system) if he gives people a chance
They always said there will be a resurrection of the unrighteous now they are saying you don’t have to die before Armageddon as unrighteous ones may make it through.
Lloyd thinks this huge fundamental new light is a nothing burger.
he is an idiot for saying that
Lloyd is a nothing-burger. Always has been, never will be. He's not even a has-been. Not even quite an almost-was. He's a never-was.
LOSER!

A most generous appraisal, all considered.
By the way: some months back in this topic, pr0ner linked to a YouTube video by HBomberguy about plagiarism on YouTube. It's a fun video to watch, in the same way a train wreck can fascinate us. It has to be, the damned thing is almost four hours long.
The last two hours are a brutally savage takedown of a YouTuber named James Somerton. I'd never heard of the guy before watching the video, but apparently he'd become quite popular (and very well-paid) by creating video essays about gay topics in movies and media. The issue is that he did so by finding articles and books that other people had written, and using their words as his script. Whenever this was discovered, he would scramble to hide the video and make excuses and --in one case-- complained that one of his critics and her (tiny) Twitter following had made death threats. So his (much larger) Twitter followers made that critic's life utter hell.
So... lazy, entitled, dishonest, egocentric in the extreme, and always playing the victim while his followers harrassed his critics. Sound familiar? The outcome is interesting: Somerton's "career" as a video essayist is done. Burned to the ground. He deleted everything. His YT channel. His Twitter account. His Discord. Even his Patreon, which had more than 3,600 paying supporters with tiers from $1 to $100. He made a rambling apology video (since removed) where he made excuses and claimed to have attempted suicide. It did not go over well.

Don't overlook in all this talk about money that Lloyd needs adulation and admiration just as much as a paycheck. I'm sure his "activism" was like a drug for him... the rush of putting out a video and being admired by his starstruck groupies, getting the first crack at certain leaks, feeling like a big shot when he ran roughshod over other activists. All that is over. He's not getting calls and his admiration is down to an old man's trickle.
I noticed that he tagged Leah Remini, Mike Rinder, and Tony Ortega in that dumb pic of him in California at a Scientology center but (as far as I can see) none of them responded. A desperate grasp at celebrity straws and broken shards of the glory he thinks he once had. He once said Leah was his "friend" and she doesn't even give him a like on stupid social media.
I'm sure being a nobody with no groupies is taking its toll on him emotionally as much as his dwindling paycheck, like any junkie in withdrawal.
Maybe Lloyd can show up in front of Anthony Moron da Turd's new place in Lumberton, NC and snap a selfie in front of it? Maybe even catch Tony coming out for the paper or on a run to the nearest liquor store (of which there are many in that town). Imagine it.......we see Lloyd creep up on ol Trenchcoat Tony in the liquor store by the McCellans......he taps Tony's shoulder, and when Tony turns around, Lloyd asks him which Irish Whiskey he prefers? Jamison's, perhaps? Confronting ol' Tight-Pants-Tony in the local po-dunk liquor store; now THAT is a video I'd click on to view!
Hey Lloyd, have one of your USA suckers......errrr......."Generous donours"......book your ticket! I think I might have just kept you in rent and food money for a few more months! (you're welcome, ya fuggin' wanker!)
Leah Remini would absolutely be eviscerated by Scientology bots and their websites devoted to her if she publicly supported Evans. In fact I’d love to see snippets of his livestream appear on heavily produced Scientology videos making their case against her.
Bottom line is he benefits no one anymore - in fact he’s more trouble than he’s worth and association with him is the kiss of death.
Whoever gets the scoop on ToMo3 will have a ton of views. It’s only a matter of time, he can’t hide inside forever.
This is why the silence is deafening.
They can’t just pretend he was never on the gb and hope people can forget him. They tried to delete every picture and video but the longer it goes on the worse it will be when the truth comes out which is inevitable.
Lloyd is old news going down hill fast, there are many great new xjw activists on the up and up
