I haven't watched the video
Don't give him the views. I'll try to give you a synopsis that is edited for brevity's sake.
Lloyd is in a very great mood throughout the video, always laughing at his own jokes and it's clear that Tibor is one of his few friends if not the only one he has. He clearly pleased he is doing this for him. A lot of it is small talk between friends.
Tibor is asked why Lloyd is the best boss ever, Tibor
replies that he’s his only boss ever. He has been working with Lloyd since the beginning of 2021. Tibor answered an ad Lloyd placed in English. He needed a job badly due to the pandemic. Croatia doesn’t have much of a need for his
skills so he was desperate.
He says the fact that the ad was in English and the job being in Sisak was unusual. Lloyd responded immediately. Tibor keeps referring to Lloyd’s activism endeavours as "a company" and so does Lloyd. There was an actual application he had to fill out (100% Lloyd here, he loves to make things he does out to be so important). Interview was over Zoom. Tibor was happy to not work for a Croatian company –
it’s very difficult to get a job in Croatia. Lloyd speaks of a second interview where Tibor came to his
house. Tibor had suspicions it was a
scam. Lloyd claimed he had to pitch the
job to him.
Tibor is an atheist and so were his parents. His grandmother was Catholic and they were close, so Tibor was an altar boy. Lloyd was very obsessed with this story and wanted to know all about what altar boys do. This is where the interview got really boring and 10 minutes could have easily been cut. To sum it up, religion never clicked with Tibor and he eventually left the church.
His only JW contact was when his parents got divorced and his mother was vulnerable. His mum had a few Bible Studies that Tibor attended but they never went to the Kindgom Hall.
The interview then pivots into the work Tibor is doing now for Lloyd. Lloyd ominously begins it with this:
“It’s
safe to say that 2021 was significantly easier on us as a company than 2022”
Tibor is asked loaded questions about if he has any regrets. Tibor wisely responds that if he had any he would have quit. He says
he enjoys the job and how they help people, particularly answering
voicemails. Feels very altruistic about
it, says it’s all about helping people. Lloyd steers him towards what the video is really about by saying the job is emotionally draining and this:
“But there is also the nonsense in dealing with the exJW community which can be an absolute nightmare to navigate”
This is at about the midway point of the video and here's where the propaganda about the grand and altruistic things they are doing together is in full swing. Lloyd relates that they get a lot of positive feedback for their acts of kindness towards helping
people. Ramacro and his home are two
different locations as he says he has to go from one to the other. When heading to Ramacro, he relates that the
owner of a restaurant he frequents gave him a free bowl of soup for his
patronage, which “really lifted me”. (Lloyd REALLY enjoys having other people give him things he wants for free. It's the quickest way to his heart). Describes
the free soup as an “act of kindness” and compares it to people seeing his
videos and experiencing the same thing. Tibor then goes on about karma and how his and Lloyd’s acts of kindness will be
rewarded.
“I am so happy we are helping people, not for my own
dopamine rush or to hope that karma is going to return everything, but it’s
nice to see that people are helped in some way.” – Tibor
Lloyd asks about what Tibor's favourite videos of his are. He went into great detail about each, but to save you the time, they are the Dave Gracey and Chris Stuckman interviews, and the Ben Foard Bethel escape video.
It's important to note that Ben Foard has been critical of Lloyd over the scandal and Lloyd has blocked him. Tibor brought Ben up, but Lloyd was clearly uncomfortable talking about him.
“I can’t watch that. Without wanting to go into all of that stuff. I just can’t watch it, but I’m glad that it’s there, and that it exists and that we made it and I’m also proud of how well we made it. Even though for various reasons that we don’t need to go into I just can’t watch it.” - Lloyd
So, he thinks it's great but can't watch because Ben is no longer a financial supporter. Thought it was all about helping people?
Tibor replies:
“I do understand that angle.
Regardless of anything I am really glad that I got to meet Ben, to hear
his stories.”
They took Ben to McDonald's and clearly relished what a great deal it had meant to Ben and implied how Lloyd was so gracious to pay for the meal.
For those who insist on watching, 45:49 is where the real video begins. Lloyd starts it off with an awkward laugh and looked at Tibor like this is where he's going to begin his rant about exJWs not supporting him. He was right.
“I’ll try not to go off into a rant” -Tibor “You can if you want” -Lloyd
Sorry for the long transcription but you really need to read this in its entirety. I'll put my transcription in the next post. Tibor's English is not perfect, so there was a lot of hesitation and word combinations that didn't make sense.
Tibor went after the forum, the green screen controversy and called us nutcases and conspiracy theorists. Says we are all stuck in the JW cult even though we have left. He pointed out when he was questioned as to whether he was Lloyd or another Croatian name and complained about people talking about his thesis which happened to be all about greenscreens. Tibor suggested we all could benefit from watching Lloyd's videos so that we can drop the JW mindset we all carry.
Jabba the Hutt had the final word and he complained about the percentages of people who have stopped supporting him, and how Tibor and himself are being harassed. Anyway, I'll paste it in my next post.
