@Kim, ah that makes sense actually. Just seemed weird paired with the word hotel specifically.

@LMSA Something I didn't pick up on was the "hotel maid". Just connecting the dots I wonder if this means he originally lied to her claiming the woman in his hotel was a maid... when it was actually a date. Just more possible evidence that he was lying and in fact was "cheating" which he over and over claimed wasn't happening. Why is she being referred to as a maid when she wasn't a maid? The only thing I could think of is she assumed the woman was a maid for...some reason. This seems highly suspect.
Does anyone have any info on that?

I know I shouldn't relish in someone else's misery.. but this is the second woman who has just demolished him. It wasn't even a fight this time. He got KO'd in the first round and Madison didn't even break a sweat. Then she stood over him Ali style afterward. His fragile narcissistic male ego has to be in pieces right now.

So cringe. Every time he posts pictures like this someone should immediately respond with screenshots of him simping for local instagram models. That poor dog is gonna be used as a prop to pick up women and garner sympathy online. I'd so love to be a fly on a wall when he hits on women, fails and then tries to blame the dog.

A good game would be to predict what the final legal decision is. If it’s tossed on what grounds? I’m gonna guess that the court has no standing given the defendants locations. But it could be any numerous reasons. That’s just how flimsy his case was.

@ozziepost
The "JW mindset" only exists if you're in the cult. I've made this point a few times but when you can gossip freely even if you gossip nonstop you don't have the "JW mindset". When you can judge freely no matter how judgy you are you don't have the "JW mindset". All these negatives people try to attach to a " JW mindset" is just how people in the real world act. It's just how people are.

The difference is, in the real world you're free to do the negatives as much as you want openly and others get to freely decide if they want to associate with you. As a JW no one is given that free choice and that leads to gossip/backbiting in secret creating loads of problems.

In fact, gossip and judging on matters WT says isn't allowed is exactly what the WT says is bad about the world. If anything a "JW mindset" is avoiding those things at all cost.

I know plenty of worldly people who are just as legalistic-minded as the worst JW and had no interaction with the cult.

@slimboyfat
I'm not comparing their success at all but they are a bit similar. Linus was one of the first voices in the custom PC community on YouTube. From there it grew really bit. It did help he is more entertaining than Lloyd but they both reaped the benefits of having the perception they were first for many in their communities. Linus has a MASSIVE following. With way more to lose of course. But now Linus is getting dragged super hard for his response to all this and mysteriously it shares the same "ex-jw" mindset we supposedly all have.

Fair point Jehalapeno, also his response was only the GN video, it looks like it was done before the working conditions issues came up. Linus' initial response though was horrible. Shirking any responsibility, gaslighting, etc... The video also didn't do him any favors. Even if you can't outright apologize due to liability issues it could have been handled better.

There is a big scandal in the tech sector with a hugely popular YouTuber Linus from Linus Tech Tips. All over unethical behavior. They didn't kill any kittens or anything. I guess the tech sector is filled with people who have a JW mindset. By the way Linus in his apology video also monetized his video and never really apologized for their behavior.
It's really crazy how Lloyd and Linus are handling the scandal in a similar way. Everyone is like, "just apologize" and he refuses to.
