  Some like that their immoral behavior was "validated" in some way, and what better than picking a morally bankrupt "hero" ...

  Good point. And LE provides all sorts of validation for the repressed flawed man and unsatisfying wife syndrome.

  Snow cone concession orange level.

  Was talking to friend the other day reminiscing about those smells in stairwells and bathrooms. I think I can still smell them in my brain.

  Then hanging out at the third base entrance after the session checking out all the boys.

  The carrot = pet tiger/lion/panda, swiss chalet home, picnics every day, dead people popping up everywhere

  JW Reality:

  1. 70-80 years of current life in "worldly" system sickness/death
  2. Then "The Tribulation" (TM) prison, attacks from governments
  3. Then "Armageddon" the greatest of all wars and Jesus on the white horse and 9 billion dead
  4. Cleaning up the 9 billion dead along with the birds
  5. Then building the swiss chalet and planting and eating your own figs/growing cotton for clothes and somewhere in there steel mills/glass mfg/wood processing or whathaveyou (TBA)
  6. Clean up the earth from 9 billion and rebuild new world.
  7. Satan released and go through steps 1-6 again, wash repeat.

  ^^ Exactly. A doubt or question is there to begin with if you are sitting through any apostate videos, let alone LE's. Why some people credit LE when it is their own questioning brain...don't know.

  Again, it is the cult of LE, his behavior is excusable and lying doesn't matter. Interestingly, this person's exit was due to not being able to get a study WT while df'd, and was told to get their copy online. And guess what site popped up while searching for said WT? They voraciously read this site and the masterful discussions...they were out in just a few days.

  So there you go.

  I had a discussion with a very passionate patreon of LE last week. They absolutely saw nothing wrong with LE and his sex life it was none of anybody's business. The argument was that they personally knew many people that were helped out of JW by LE's videos and if it wasn't for said videos, (the same ones I cannot stand to watch), these folks would still be in the cult. I said said LE's bad behavior doesn't negate per se individual good results...it is still bad behavior.

  When I say passionate, I really mean passionate. Sooo, I just had to tell the person that I "heard" what they were saying, and I understand. I let them finish and said my experience is different, the sex life is just one part of many issues with LE, and that I think he is a jerk, and a liar, and has treated people in the EXJW community horribly. I also felt he is hypocritical in the way he personally criticizes members of the GB for less than LE's behavior. They said "that is laughable."

  We ended that I feel as strongly in my opinion as they did in theirs, and we just have to agree to disagree. I'm telling you...it felt like it was talking to someone who just jumped from one cult to another.

  On a side note, can that man taaaallllkkkk...I tried to watch the "Leaving bunker" video, and cut out after 5 minutes. I really do not see the attachment people have to his videos...

  I worry about Randy also. He contacted me about a year ago, but I was in the middle of a situation I could not respond. He was in Texas then. It's been a rough few years for him. He has family, in the midwest I think. I hope things are sorted.

  Randy was the guy for a long time. He had the foresight to collect the JW information and had friends all over the world.

  From a business standpoint it might be wise for LE to widen out his activist base. He burned part of the bridge in the exJW community IMHO. LE version 5.0.

  I watched a little of the interview with the Danish lady, poor dear. It reminded me of my mom, (no voices though), who emotionally just loved "Jehovah/god/Jesus" sooooo much, especially near the end of her life. I'm always torn because she was happy I think in her choices but I always wanted more for her. My issues.

  Interestingly he cleaned himself up for these new videos. I think he's scrambling to be relevant in his own mind. He sounds condescending and insincere to me, though he's trying not to, IMO. And the whole "activist/writer/husband/father" line...sheesh.

  You know, I've wracked my brain trying to figure out why the corporation was not more protective of children...I mean how can you not!

  But with this revelation of Lett, I see now.

  the last 2 1/2 years have been extremely stressful.

  while the rest of the world was dealing with covid, i was also dealing with cancer.

  in fact it seems none of my doctors knew about it.
