    Has anyone got a screen grab of the old wording?

    I don't, but I compared his current wording against an archive from 2021. The passage you are referring to is unchanged. But there are a couple changes I noticed - removal of any mention of the TTATT documentary. Here's the 2021 version:

    In the early days, I did this through blog articles on JWsurvey.org, which I founded in 2011. Then, in 2013, I started vlogging on YouTube. I have also published an 800-page book, "The Reluctant Apostate," and a follow-up titled "How to Escape From Jehovah's Witnesses." In addition, I am currently involved in producing a documentary feature film about Jehovah's Witnesses titled "The Truth About the Truth."

    The last sentence has been deleted.

    Also, he removes reference to him being a husband and father. Here's the 2021 version:

    Making all of these resources available has been, and continues to be, an enormous drain on my time and energy. As a husband and father, my work can be a major distraction, but having personally met people who claim to have benefited (sometimes dramatically) from my books and videos, I consider the personal sacrifice to be worthwhile

    Here's what it currently says:

    Making these resources available has been, and continues to be, an enormous drain on my time and energy, but having personally met people who claim to have benefited (sometimes dramatically) from my books and videos, I consider the personal sacrifice to be worthwhile.

    I understand about removing the "husband" part, but shouldn't the "father" part still be relevant? He also removed reference to it being a "distraction". I reckon it shows subconsciously the true extent of how disconnected he really is from his children's lives now that he lives over an hour away. All the pics he posts of his children are just propaganda gleaned from the few hours he does see them.

    You have to wonder why he consciously removed that entire passage.

    Maybe saying, "As a father, my work can be a major distraction..." would bring on even more questions about whether or not he is divorced. Or, some newbie might think of being a "father" as being a priest. (I hadn't caught on that he was atheist right away.) And yes, it might be amusing to see the true time stamps of "when" each of the children's photos was taken. He could be doing them like a photo shoot, with quick wardrobe and scenery changes.

    That's what adjectives are for. For example, "As a devoted single father of two young girls, my work can be a major distraction". After all, "single" is something he described himself as when he got caught going to the dating event. He can take the husband part out without destroying the sense he was trying to convey. But it seemed he'd rather dispense with the entire sentence altogether.

    "Married, with children" doesn't sound like good pickup line...

    Has he told his patrons and everyone else that he has dropped the so-called lawsuit of his?

    I don’t know what he’s told his patrons, however the Croatian system indicates that he is still trying? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    Does Croatia have an online database that lists divorces?

    It’s seems obvious that he has been kicked out and he is irresponsible and no idea about life. I suspect his ex wife was like a mother to him, he is looking for a cleaning lady and someone to wait on him hand and foot.

    She probably did all the paperwork and responsibilities and he ordered her around like an employee.

    Now he is on his own he has no idea about life.

    The one good thing is he is losing weight because there is no one to do the cooking anymore 🤣
