^^agreed.
I have a long time friend who just left 5 years ago or so. He watches and tells me about videos of some folks who are not activists, but lived similar JW lives, but at some point the train derailed for them, and they share. These have helped him I think, not feel so alone. I don’t watch really as I figured my life out years ago, I did the work without the internet so I don’t need to commiserate about stuff all over again.
But, half my family is in and I have friends with family in, and we still need to figure out how to deal with things. AND case in point just last week I received a “thinking of you” card from a former Bible student of mine I haven’t spoken to in 25 years. She is the only one still in from my students, I think she’s still in anyway…I have yet to answer. So I’m out 20 years, and still it’s a part of my life.
So I still don't mind knowing what’s going on currently in the corporation.

Pardon my skeptical mind, I’m in finance and I question everything. But this whole thing seems very orchestrated by LE. He knows how to write and communicate very well. It doesn’t seem representative of any of what he produces.
These letters to me seem like a way to stir up the ExJW community, (which they have effectively), as they are not legit legal demands.
That being said, “There is no bad publicity” seems to fit here to me. His personal life style couldn’t last forever, he is not that sort.. he needs to escalate. Yes, he’s going to lose some patreons, but his name is out there more than before,which allows him to respond. And this opens the way for his “redemption” lol, and the sympathy abounds. What a joke, but whatever.
Kim Silvio’s letter is fantastic. And I’m enjoying Altworldly’s videos…now he is someone to support. What a talented young man and great videos. Hope he gets some recognition from all this.

Since half my family are still JW's, I look at some exJW youtubes for a few minutes while getting ready for work from time to time...as some would be in my youtube rotation along with recipes, movie reviews and whatever.
I am happy to report LW's youtubes are no longer popping up in "Recommended", as I don't want to see his face and don't want to listen to a single work he has to say...about anything.

awake 73 3/23 p.12 "the spirit of compatition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances...in some homes tensions linger longer then checkmate.

chess is a game of war a play substitute for the art of war...danger of stirring up compatiton and hostility to one another something the bible warns christians to avoid.

what effect does playing chess have on you is it wholesome?

Boy I remember this article very well. My brother and I played chess. I don’t think we stopped playing, just kept it quiet. A lot of us knew the WT was just finding ridiculous things to try and keep control.

I watched the video. He looks well rested.
It's funny that every single thing LE mentions that is being done to him is exactly what he has done all along to anyone who disagrees or opposes him. Every. Single. Thing.
His followers will lap this up.

Lloyd never disappoints. He is as predictable as ever.
He has been turning on hundreds through the past few years, on top of lying every minute of every day to his wife.

I went to the theater last night some OG exJWs. One of them had no idea about the LE drama. I'd like to point her to where she can see the video. She couldn't believe what we were telling her.
I'm not the greatest at finding things, so if someone could help I'd be thankful.
Never mind. I didn't read far enough up on the thread.
