In a recent turn of events, I found myself at a JW social gathering on Zoom (supporting my PIMI wife, while among mostly JWs whom I don't know and a handful of old friends who don't know I'm inactive) that just so happened to also be joined by Garrett Losche and his wife. Sorry to disappoint but I had absolutely no interaction with him and have nothing interesting to report about it. I'm just sharing this because I can't believe I even got THAT close to MAYBE chatting with him, despite being a closeted apostate.
There were about 300 people in the Zoom meeting, all having been directly invited. Breakout rooms were formed randomly to give guests a chance to interact on a more personal level. I looked at the camera thumbnails and related to mt wife "Wow, that guy looks like Garrett Losche." My wife took a look and said "OH WOW! IT IS BROTHER LOSCHE!!!!"
Sad, but true - I snuck away from the laptop for a minute to turn my phone's voice recorder on just in case I may have wound up talking to him at some point. I also loaded up a pdf of the infamous affidavit where he claimed "I do not answer to Watchtower." In my little mind, I thought it would be an absolutely epic moment in exJW history if I could have read it out loud to him while I was recording his reaction.
Ahhhh, but it wasn't to be. As I mentioned, we never interacted but honestly, I have such bad social anxiety, and I was sitting right next to my wife, so I can't talk a tough game here and say that I would have ACTUALLY done this or that.
But, a man can dream, can't he? And eventually, someone in the know is going to get close enough to pull something like this off. Personally, I'd love to see a KH crash when one of the GB are giving the talk and someone reads off something like Losche's affidavit, or plays audio from Jackson lying through his treeth to the ARC.
One day...
