How many wavering JWs has he discouraged, causing them to remain in the Watchtower?
He’s for the most part decent with the newly awakened. He’s keen to instill within them a strong sense of loyalty to him as the one who woke them up. In this way he goes after the most vulnerable whilst they still have a lot of the residual cult programming and seeks to switch that blind allegiance over to him and have them join as Patrons. It’s the exJWs who have a few years under their belt that he has the most trouble with as they have interacted with others who are in no way like Lloyd and they are better off for it. Still, there had to have been a few who were early on in the awakening process who have been put off by his behaviour and didn’t want anything to do with “apostates”.
By now anyone else would have taken the hint and dissappeared like so many other youtubers in the past that were involved in similar scandals.He won't do that
He won’t leave as long as there is money to be earned that supports his lifestyle. At 43 and in a country where he doesn’t speak the language, he has literally no other options for work. Even at just below 400 Patrons, he is still by far the most well compensated exJW activist. He’ll never gain any significant amount of support back with what information is out about him. Especially with the way he spends money. The new reality for him is funding the costs of living for two households and his wine and dine lifestyle of foreign meet-ups and tourism directly funded by donors is gone. He also will not be able to crowdfund any significant funds for kickstarting any new books he tries to put out.
It’s chilling to know that Lloyd Evans has earned way more than Ray Franz ever did even when you adjust for inflation. It’s still a shame upon him and those who enabled and defended him when he attempted to profit off of stealing a copyright from a dead man. And the sheer blatancy of it all - not only was he selling illegal copies of it, he was advertising his website on the back!
One thing you can count on Lloyd doing is shooting himself in the foot and alienating people with his arrogant attitude. His failure to exact any kind of vengeance upon the M7 and the failure of his court case will demonstrate for quite a few people what this guy is really about.
