I wonder what would happen if one of the elders who served on one of Lloyd's Judicial Committees became a POMO and started posting on this forum?

Pornography must be a major problem among JW elders, thus the video. But this may backfire on the Watchtower. After viewing the video, elders who watch pornography will know to keep it secret if they want to retain their position in the congregation.
The Watchtower encourages JWs to inform on each other and in the video the snitch elder is commended. But what happens in real life? How will the snitch elder will be viewed by the other elders after the CO leaves?

If the JW leadership insists on removing elders who view pornography, will there be anyone left to serve on the body of elders?
With so few male JWs "reaching out for privileges," I can see an elder body giving a free pass to an elder who confesses to watching "soft core pornography." With no replacements available, removing him would mean more work for those still serving on the BOE.

Interesting decline in Lloyd's paid membership. On July 30 he had 347 paid members. On August 1 he only had 325, a loss of 22. Also noted is the quality of his videos is also in decline.

Wow! The photos LMSA posted sure indicate a physical change in Lloyd from November 2023 to the present. Though he has admitted to depression and drug use, we can only speculate as to what else he is doing that has caused his physical appearance to change.
The way Lloyd looks now he could easily become a poster boy for the Watchtower, proving they are right about what happens when one leaves the Borg for Apostasy. Of course we know that everything negative that has happened to him was self inflicted.

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?
by Athanasius inon 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 inas 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.
