  Lloyd actually had a slight gain in patrons this month over last month. Right now he has 343 paid members. Last month he had 342. So a gain of one.

  No doubt Lloyd can thank the Watchtower for coming to his rescue by finally releasing the delayed August 2024 Watchtower. This time he responded quickly and produced a video giving his interpretation of the recent organizational changes. However, Caleb's video about the August Watchtower was up seven hours before Lloyd posted his. Moreover, it took Caleb only 14 minutes to explain the changes. Whereas Lloyd talked for over 38 minutes to give his interpretation.

  It will be interesting to see what happens to Lloyd's paid membership numbers in the coming months, especially if nothing exciting happens in JW land.

  Where is Tony?

  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.

  While the Watchtower may have relocated Tony in some isolated retirement community and given him a new identity through the "Jehovah's Witness Protection Program," what about his sons? Wasn't one of his sons a Circuit Overseer?

  Any recent news about the Morris boys, or have they also disappeared?

  If what some posters have been saying about Lloyd's perverted sexual appetite is true, it would explain why he has to use prostitutes to satisfy his sexual urges. No doubt Dianna had enough of his degrading demands and said no more. So off he went to Thailand.

  Most likely Tony got a comfortable buyout from the Watchtower. So I'm sure that he can purchase whatever brand of liquor he wants. However, even though there is a video of Tony in a liquor store buying over $800 of expensive Scotch, the rumors of alcoholism seem to originate with a transplanted slob who plopped himself down in Croatia.

  The August 2024 Watchtower controversy and potential further changes

  by ukpimo in

  as an educated guess, the august 2024 watchtower may be delayed because 2 complicated subjects need to be discussed in this issue which haven't yet been approved to be included in the revised shepherding textbook.

  perhaps the revised shepherding textbook must be finalised before this watchtower is released publicly.. the 2 subjects may be as follows:.

  how to shepherd and appoint brothers based on the removal of the hour requirements, getting to know the brothers instead (does this mean prioritising appointing men who have auxiliary pioneered during the co visit and campaigns or men who are regular pioneers?).

  Regarding the delay of the 2024 Watchtower, I tend to agree with others who have posted that the JW leadership is waiting for the outcome of a serious legal issue. The Watchtower has become dependent on Government subsidies and tax exemptions that they will make doctrinal and organizational changes, no matter how radical, in order to keep these monetary benefits.

  Though it is speculation on my part, we can expect significant changes in the JW religion as the Watchtower leaders try to implement Governmental demands in order to keep their charitable status.

  As to Kingdom Hall attendance, I think this is a local issue. As some have posted, attendance is down. While others have noted that attendance is up. Since it has been almost 40 years since I attended a KH in my area, I have no idea whether attendance is up or down. But I have noticed that while a few local JWs do cart work, I haven't seen JWs engaged in d-d witnessing in our neighborhood in almost 20 years.

  Apparently Tony is not attending JW meetings. If he was attending a congregation somewhere in the English speaking world, we would have heard about it by now. He was a celebrity in the JW world, and JWs like to talk. So having a former GB member attending your congregation would be something the locals would tell their friends.

  I'm only speculating, but maybe Tony took a lucrative buyout and retired incognito to some tropical hideaway.

  Hopefully others will have more information to share.

  Just checked and Lloyd's paid membership is now 338. Sad to see gullible people exploited by that slob.

  Lloyd's hair is probably the result of a cheap dye job. However, it could also be the prelude to his coming out party.

  Interesting how Lloyd's paid membership went from 364 paid members on April 30 to 346 on May 1. Then on May 2 his paid membership was 352. Still it looks like his loses over gains are two to one. Not the way to run a successful business.

  However, I question his sudden gain of six new paid members on May 2, especially with all the negative information about Lloyd on the internet these days. Moreover, one has to ask what type of person would continue to support someone with a history like Lloyd's?
