Every Sunday evening, they would have a show called "Religion On The Line". I do remember Theresa Graves being invited to expound upon the persecution of Witnesses in Malawi, and I think that she appeared on that show around 1974 or 1975.

Jim Simon was an elder in my congregation (and he was one of my very favorite elders - ever).

As 'the father of talk radio', he likely played a role in Theresa's appearance.

Simon, Jim: KABC, 1970-76; KFI, 1976; KGIL, 1985-88; KKGO, 1991; XEKAM, 1992. Jim died June 6, 1995, of complications from diabetes, an aneurysm and a stroke. He was 61.

@DerekMoors -

A few posts ago you wrote: @Kim Silvio (sorry, don't know how to actually tag,
if someone knows how to get her attention):

Kim seems to check in and catch up on this thread periodically (me too, for the past 8 months!! LOL) so she will likely find your post on her next catch-up session.

To highlight it for her, you might want to send her a DM with a link to the page your question is on.

Just a thought.

Happy Sunday!!

You probably read it on JWN.

Here is a link to one post about the WT Telly Award:

Yes. 100% Agreed.

We have all done a much better-than-expected job of retaining an accurate record.

Collectively - especially on this thread - I think we have done a very good job of promptly cross-checking details so we keep the facts straight.

Helpful in keeping the facts straight are the several posters who have been quick to capture images, documents, and videos that will likely be hidden by someone [JLE] playing games with his own cyber trail.

Happy Sunday, Everyone!

On page 5 of this thread Terry posted a link to a video that Ben Foard published earlier this year.

In the video, Ben talks about the many layers of access to WT informational documents (public-facing and internal).

The video is well-worth the 23 minute watch.

I am re-linking here:

https://youtu.be/JG6PjU7X27I

For a small part of the video he mentions racism and segregated congregations.

I remember segregated congregations in some areas of the US.

We - new, normal congregation rank-and-file JWs - were told that the segregation was vestige of prior government mandates and 'The Society' was merely complying with 'the superior authorities'.

Ben's video presents a little different context to that understanding.

Slim chance that anyone collecting the mail at the PO Box will read the letter.

But I did. And I did get a little chuckle from it.

This statement is not correct.

So, in practicality, this statement is a lie.

Please everyone, we need to keep our facts straight.

Lloyd did *not* admit to going to Thailand every few months.

In fact, if I recall correctly, he admitted to just *ONE* trip to Thailand [to cheat on his wife with a 'girlfriend' who is a sex-worker].

What he admitted to on the infamous video - that he says he was forced to do (because Kim S made a statement about him) - was visit sex-workers every few months for the past several years.

The assumption at the time by people watching the video was that the sex-workers were located in Croatia, possibly also some in England, and maybe, just maybe a time in Texas. And, of course, that one infamous time in Thailand during Christmas and NewYear's Eve 2021.

When repeating details that are not favorable to someone (ie: Lloyd) or something (ie: Watchtower.Org) it's really important to not exaggerate or assume that you have the correct details.

When mis-statements are presented as truth but the facts show something different - it gives the subject of the mis-statement something to latch on to and claim 'LIAR!', 'SLANDERER!!', "LIABLER!!!'

We all know Lloyd cannot let anything go unchallenged.

Please don't give him more fuel by presenting exaggerations as fact.

Best to be careful and double check - triple check - the source documents/actual video.

Edit to add:

"...this year alone Lloyd has had vacations in Thailand Texas and London UK and drives a bmw."

I may have missed it, but I don't think Lloyd was in Texas this year (2022).

Can anyone confirm a 2022 trip to Texas and that Lloyd's personal vehicle is a BMW?
