If these chats / emails turn out to be false, who benefits?
So, would Lloyd produce false screenshots and rumors about himself to drown out the things that are true? If Michael Scott did it in the office, I don't see why that wouldn't be a possibility for Lloyd. Afterall, he's been sitting for two months thinking about his options.
as expected from a man who prioritizes the most vulnerable members of our community, marc has made a sober statement that explains why there's a deep conflict of interest between lloyds recent behaviour and the work they do at jw watch.

It's funny though my 16 yr old sons were saying a few weeks ago how grossed out they were by some kid in their year going out with a girl in year 9 (14)😆🤣🤣Apparently "she's a kid"
Well, 16 to 14 wouldn't be a problem for me...
Still, I must say that I had a very hard time yesterday wrapping my mind around the fact that a country like Germany would leave laws open to enabling full-blown adults to engage in sexual activities with 14 years old. Had it been some developing country, a communist one, or dictatorship, I wouldn’t have been shocked. But Germany is like one of us! A civilized, modern, democratic county that is supposed to be ahead of the curve on questions like these.
Had I still been a JW, I would have welcomed such news as further proof of this system’s wickedness and in desperate need of God’s intervention. No longer a believer, I am left with this feeling of distress of how bad humans are with no end in sight.
For such laws to remain in place, the people in that country must be complacent about the issue. For instance, imagine that the father of a 14 year old beat another grown man to a pulp for grooming his daughter. This would result in news headlines in which the Dad would face justice for the attack while the perpetrator would have no consequences. People would react to this story and its absurdity. Repeat this scenario often enough and law makers would make it right by amending their laws to something alike to what is found in the UK, Canada and USA. Something that makes sense.
My point is that this law is a shame that lays on the German people. Seeing things in that angle, I find it very distressing and it puts my faith in humanity in jeopardy.

I told you it wasn't open for debate. You since posted twice advocating that there's nothing wrong with a 30 year old man having sex with a 14 year old girl.
One thing Nitty-Gritty said that caught my attention is that its not illegal in Germany. Here is what Wikipedia states on this, siting Germany's criminal code from 2012:
The age of consent in Germany is 14, as long as a person over the age of 21 does not exploit a 14- to 15-year-old person's lack of capacity for sexual self-determination, in which case a conviction of an individual over the age of 21 requires a complaint from the younger individual;
I have to say that I find this sickening. From where I stand, I think Canada has it right. You go by age difference.
In May 2008, the Canadian government passed a bill to raise the age of consent from 14 to 16, while creating a close-in-age exemption for sex between 14–15 year olds and partners less than 5 years older, and keeping an existing close-in-age clause for sex between 12–13 year olds and partners less than 2 years older.[3]
I don't believe laws should be a barometer for morality. Regardless of what Germany thinks, a 30 year old trying to get it on with a 14 year old is sickening.

Disclaimer: This is not a comment about Lloyd, I don't know about Lloyd's history.
How bad is it for an adult male to fool around with a 14 year old. Well, its bad. Real bad. Like prison bad.
Now, there is the law and there is my opinion on morality. What I mean is, lets be honest, its generally not as bad as an adult having intercourse with prepubescent kids. For instance, I'd imagine I'd be fine with the death sentence for such pedophiles. But would I order the death of someone who fell in love with a teenager that never felt aggressed? I'd send him to jail for a year, but death? These cases can vary significantly from one victim to the next and this is why the law generally has rules such as sentencing from 1 year to 15 years, leaving the judge to decide.
Point is, I understand that Nitty Gritty is seeing a difference in the severity of the crime, but lets be clear here: getting it on with a teenager is still a crime.
this is an interesting and intriguing new law (or, it will be if enacted in its present form).. quote: "the proposed new religious discrimination act is intended to prevent a person from being discriminated against on the basis of their religion.".
fair enough, but to get it through the house of representatives last night, the government accepted some changes.. the first draft (discussed last night) had a clause that may have impacted the rights of some gay and/or trans-sexual students at religious schools by allowing a religious school to expel such a student.
last night the government was forced to accept changes that removed that possibility.
I agree with Simon. Government shouldn't interfere there.
Where I disagree with Simon is that the Government should try to do something about the fact that groups preach people to shun the disfellowshipped ones and threaten their members with the same treatment if they don't do as they're told.
In any case, I don't believe this ruling would have any impact on the JWs. They don't allow heterosexuals to engage in sexual activities outside of marriage. Many heterosexuals in that religion are unable to find a mate and , as a result, end up spending the majority of their lives, if not its entirety, sexually repressed. Same goes with homosexuals. They are, by their teachings, condemned to the same lives as the heterosexuals who are unable to find a mate.
Sure, we all know this results in homophobia in the group and all, but their official teaching as it stands would likely hold in court.
did anybody else catch it?.
he said that people who come back in the earthly resurrection would be given a body "reasonably similar" to the one they had prior to death.. what the almighty hootch?.
"similar"?.
I assume that if I have a small d*ck, I'd expect to wake up with 7 inches. Or if I were a women, I'd expect to wake up with a "C-Cup" pair. You know, reasonably similar body with small improvements.

And now his Patreon donations are going towards legal fees.
Just like the WT! HAHAHAHHHHAHHAHAHAHA
i think you live in canada.
this convoy is starting in the usa and soon to be in europe.
just like to know how this is effecting your daily life and like to share with us if it is.
This is something I explained to my kid yesterday.... you think you live in a complete democracy... think again. Only 5.5 million Canadians actually voted for Trudeau at the last elections. And I don't remember him making any promises to force people to get vaccinated by threatening their jobs.

Not only does he take photos ( isn't your memory a good enough storage unit ), stores his photos in an iPhone ( where your wife can find and flip through the incriminating evidence). He boasts about his exploits to a lawyer believing that she would be proud of his trip ( ''Lloyd, she's beautiful...hope you enjoyed your time together, even though you have a wife and two children ). Then, stupidly makes a 1 hour 39 minute video admitting his exploits on a video board, where...''anything you say maybe used against you''!
From the movie Red Dragon, FBI Agent Will Graham discussing with Dr. Lector
Dr. Lector: Then, by implication, you think, you're smarter than I am... since it was you who caught me.
Will Graham: I know I'm not smarter than you.
Dr. Lector: Then how did you catch me?
Will Graham: You had disadvantages.
Dr. Lector: What disadvantages?
Will Graham: You're insane.
the problem is where do we go from here?
lloyd is not going to go away , he has too much to loose(money) neither will his followers go as we have seen the last few days there was hardly a drop to his membership .so what's next?
we will be branded in the same colours and because of him we won't be taken seriously anymore.
To be honest, I don't know. I very much liked his videos as I felt they kept me up to date with a religion that my parents still practice. I'd be able to get a whole lot of information while cleaning my dishes for instance.
So, now, perhaps I should take this as an opportunity to lower my xjw intake and move on with my life. Perhaps I shouldn't care as much as I do about my parent's beliefs. I don't know.
One thing for sure though, I'll ignore John and anyone supporting him. And lets not confuse things here. This isn't the same as shunning. This is about taking an active part in a public social cause and as such I can pick and choose.
Again, if I ran into Lloyd "in real life", I'd gladly talk with him and very likely try to convince him to also move on with his life to other things. But I'm not going to encourage that fool by counting my clicks or my views on his online activism.
