That's exactly why he hangs around exJWs - the vulnerable people leaving the WTS are easy picking for a predator to take advantage of.
It’s so off-the-wall insane what he has been involved in and what he has gotten away with, that assuming he’s still around 5-10 years from now, people are going to continue to find it hard to believe it’s true. In all likelihood he’s the last exJW activist superstar. No one is going on the all-expense paid tours he went on, and he’s certainly not going on them anymore due to no one comping him for the full cost of travel, significantly lower turnout and high probability he’s going to be confronted. The earthquake fund that earned enough to purchase his family a home, the 10K AUD he conned someone out of so he could blow off interviews to take his family on tours - all gone and never to be repeated.
I am not throwing shade at anyone in particular, but it always boggled my mind how such a vain and arrogant slob could ever gain such a following and support. He openly wrote about a sex scandal involving cheating on his wife and then had the nerve to say everyone was obsessing about his penis. He’s the one who brought it up and kept talking about it! And to hear such intimate details from a guy who looked like he did wasn’t a wise move. People were surprised he got caught cheating on his wife with hookers and didn’t believe it at first? Did they read his book about how any fleeting contact with a woman got him all aroused thinking they were into him? And all the shit he dished out to others on social media…
The same patterns emerged. People in the org had bad things to say about a CO, elder or GB member in private, but went along with it because of the “good” they were doing. Kept writing the cheques to place in the contribution box even though the CO’s talk rubbed them the wrong way. Such it was with Lloyd I guess. A huge reason why I never liked him was that I absolutely despised the ones in power who thought they could wield it in the JWs. I was present at a Ted Jaracz talk once and I thought he was quite the prick.
Lloyd reminds me a lot of Ted now that I think of it.
