Speaking of costs, what the hell did he need fundraiser for?
That was for an initial print run that he wanted funded. They arrived in the UK and thereās a video somewhere of him in his ill-fitting jeans where you can almost see his ass helping the driver unload the pallet. He shipped some from the UK and others from Croatia after signing them, personal message or whatever the pre-order customer wanted. Interestingly he left a good chunk of these books in Jill Adamsā garage and she held onto them for years. After coming out against him she demanded he either claim the books himself or have someone pick them up on his behalf. She wasnāt being mean either, he had like 6 months to do it, never returned her msgs and she ended up binning them. She had to clear them out as she was moving.
As it doesnāt take $20K to print a palletās worth of books, Lloyd did what he always does and pocketed the money. The very fact that he was evidently OK with Jill disposing his books would indicate he didnāt put that much of the $20K into them. Still - itās yet another example of him not giving a fuck about donation money and how it is spent being that some of it now occupies a British landfill.
Why not in spanish?
Spanish or French would do. Spanish because of the huge JW population in Latin America, and French is the lingua franca for large swaths of western and central Africa - a region where JWs have experienced growth.
But he fucked up the Spanish translation effort by distrusting the volunteer translators and doxxing the unfortunate gentleman in Hermosillo, Mexico who went ahead of the organisation Lloyd.
The Occamās Razor answer is that of his remaining followers, the only one willing to do a translation for free was capable only in German.
A good rule of thumb when trying to determine the whys with Jabba the Hutt - follow the money. Unless someone pops up and volunteers to do it for free in Spanish, Portuguese or French - someone he absolutely trusts - heās not doing any language that would require him to pay the translator.
