@Las Malvinas - I see Lloyd couldn't resist flaunting his anti-monarchist virtue for all of the twittersphere to see.
He may feel that way, but, in England at least, monarchists outnumber anti-monarchists.
*sigh* Lloyd's such a dick ...

She reigned for so long (70 years) that people kinda couldn't imagine her dying, or imagine life without her.
Well, nobody lives forever.
She died at 96, having spent 70 years putting duty above her selfish concerns.
I've never been interested in pomp and ceremony, but I had built up a respect for The Queen over the years.
Despite a life of privilege, she was old school - no feeling sorry for yourself, shut up and get on with it. And that, for me, made a refreshing change compared to today's generation of snowflakes.
RIP Elizabeth Regina.

when someone mentioned the possible age of a girl his reaction isn't to give any clear denial - he just doesn't know the ages of the prostitutes he slept with.
I'm guessing Lloyd didn't ask the prostitutes for proof of age. Some women are so addicted to drugs that they'll just lie when asked if they're forced into sex work, just so they can get their next fix. Some underage girls might be so scared of their pimp when asked to give their real age that they'll just say their 18 to do their job and get paid.
Obviously, I'm not saying that Lloyd definitely and knowingly slept with underage girls. But Lloydy boy didn't know their real ages, and it's possible that he slept with an underage girl (don't know about Thailand but this is viewed as rape in many countries), or possible that he slept with someone who was forced into sex work (this could also be viewed as rape).
Whatever, it's obvious Lloyd should not be getting into the WTS child abuse side of things when he could possibly have done that himself.

Replacing God?
by punkofnice inwe seem to be if a more secular society here in the west, these days.
i'm speaking from the uk.. with the lack of belief in god/s, i'm wondering if all the seeming (note: i said seeming!
), deification of people like greta thunberg, george floyd and celebs amongst others, if people who have no real belief system, are filling the gap left by god with people?.

Good OP, Punk
Do we have an inbuilt need to believe in something or someone? - yes, I think we probably do.
Greta and other people from the Thunberg Tendency believe in their own Armageddon (end of the world due to pollution), and salvation (if only people would listen to what they say and agree with them on everything, the world will be saved).
Another religion is belief in human rights. I was arguing/discussing with a woman on facebook about how best to deal with people smugglers, you know, those people who send migrants to their deaths in rubber dinghies. I suggested armed police or the army declare war on the smugglers and eliminate them. She had a bit of a meltdown, piously lecturing me that all human beings have human rights, including smugglers. Ridiculous. I said that I don't believe in human rights, and they don't exist. She literally said that she couldn't talk to me because of this, and called me disgusting. All because I challenged her religious beliefs (human rights).
Another religion in the UK is the NHS. The NHS worship was evident during the early months of the pandemic. Although many doctors and nurses work admirably, the truth is that it is a gigantic black hole that swallows billions of public money. The tories have given the NHS extra billions. Where does it all go? If you dare publically criticise the NHS, all sorts of crazy shit is assumed about you. The NHS shouldn't be beyond criticism.
Other new religions are trans rights and feminist ideology.

JW's in war zone

we can't assume anything from one response! We can only say that we don't know - when shots have been fired at or on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear base, it's sensible to start from the assumption that it was Ukraine's fault.
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear base has been taken over by the Russian military who are using it as a base. Ergo the Russians wouldn't be stupid enough to shell their own military base, especially considering the fact that the base has nuclear stuff in it.
It must be Ukrainian fighters who fired on the base.

hopefully the Ukrainian government lives up to it's freedom loving claims - so, we don't know for sure.
What we do know is that all men staying behind have to fight. Until I see evidence to the contrary, I'm going to start by assuming that JWs in Ukraine must fight or face some kind of consequences for refusal.
Here's another thing: in the mainstream media, Ukraine just cannot do anything wrong.
There have been media reports of shelling on or near the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia. This plant is controlled by Russian forces, and used as a military base. So, logic dictates that the firing on the plant can only have been done by Ukrainian forces. But the media won't report this. Strange

Hi Phil, welcome to the forum.
Yeah, it's a pretty crappy feeling when you realise it's all a load of bullshit.
It's good that you've got your sister to be friends with.
So, this is an opportunity for you to make decent friends outside the JWs.
It's also a chance for you to think what you want to do with the rest of your life, because Armageddon ain't coming.

@BettyHumpter - this guy O'Brien is a left-wing tit.
He's pretty much the epitome of left-wing entitlement.
