  Hi Ted,

  I think that you are overlooking the fact that Lloyd's really effective Videos on JWism were actually team efforts. He had Mark O'Donnell and other unpaid volunteers doing the research and organizing the content. All Lloyd did was take the credit for their work and grab any monetary rewards. So in reality the good that you credit to Lloyd was actually the work of others. Compare his pre-2022 videos with the present.

  Without the assistance of unpaid volunteers, Lloyd's recent videos are mostly a long-winded rehash of what other ex-JWs have already revealed on their channels.

  on february 22, 2023, anthony morris iii was officially removed from the governing body of jehovah's witnesses.

  a few months later it was revealed that the watchtower bought him a house in lumberton, north carolina.. however, and correct me if i am wrong, since leaving the gb nobody has reported seeing tony attending jw meetings or participating in field service.

  in fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store.

  On February 22, 2023, Anthony Morris III was officially removed from the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses. A few months later it was revealed that the Watchtower bought him a house in Lumberton, North Carolina.

  However, and correct me if I am wrong, since leaving the GB nobody has reported seeing Tony attending JW meetings or participating in field service. In fact nobody has reported seeing him anywhere, not even at a local liquor store. The man seems to have vanished. Since the Watchtower hasn't released any new information about Tony to clarify matters, everyone is free to speculate regards what happened.

  So here is my take on the situation. Back in February there was a heated discussion during the GB meeting where the recent doctrinal, procedural, and grooming changes to the JW organization were approved. Tony refused to accept the new directives and in a rage resigned from the GB. He was so emotionally upset that he experienced a serious mental breakdown and currently resides at a Veteran's Hospital.

  It is all speculation on my part. Maybe others have a better explanation. If so please feel free to comment and let us know where you think Tony is.

  Since Lloyd lies all the time, how do we know if the sex workers he employed were female?

  Perhaps that explains why his wife was unable to satisfy his sexual urges.

  Back in the 1940s and 1950s the Watchtower referred to persons who were interested in JWism, but were not JWs, as "Persons of Good-Will" or "Good-Will persons."

  Unfortunately LE is really a cancer on the ex-JW movement. While there are some who claim that he helped them to get out of the JW religion, on the flip side one must also ask: How many wavering JWs has he discouraged, causing them to remain in the Watchtower?

  I didn't see any JWs doing Door to Door work today, but I did see a couple of JW women standing by their cart. Both women wore masks even though they were outside in the fresh air.

  However, nobody seemed to be interested in their literature. People seemed to just pass by and ignore them.

  The description of Babylon the Great in Revelation could also fit the conglomerate of international business corporations.

  If this was the end of the Watchtower, Lloyd Evans would be out of a job and his main source of of income would dry up.

  I don't know what the laws are like in Croatia regarding solicitation for prostitution. However, here in the USA most communities have laws on the books where both prostitutes and their customers are prosecuted when arrests are made.

  In most American cities had LE been arrested for soliciting, he would be fined or sentenced to time in jail or both. No doubt his patrons don't consider solicitation for sex to be criminal behavior.

  Not sure if this has been discussed before, but in Lloyd Evans' live-stream he claimed that the Watchtower had tampered with his sexuality, or words to that effect.

  Some have commented that LE said this to excuse his reprehensible behavior. But could his statement have a different meaning. Did LE mean that he was also a victim of CSA? And could this have been what he meant when before his Committee meeting he claimed to have something on the Watchtower?
