Debra I have been gathering evidence about your trips abroad London for speed dating, Texas, and of course Thailand every 3 or 4 months for the past five years,

It was poorly punctuated TonusOH, but I read this statement as meaning he visited all these places for the purposes of sexual encounters every 3 to 4 months. Not necessarily specifically visited Thailand every 3 to 4 months. But I get exactly what you're saying TonusOH, Lloyd certainly won't differentiate between a false statement and a poorly worded one - he will just scream we're all liars!

FA we do not really know if he went there specifically for sex with prostitutes. Could you please update your evidence to show this? Or do you have evidence we do not know about?

We do. We have the receipts.

Aside from the " those I met sex workers or otherwise" Facebook post and the "I dated a sex worker", a You Tube lass named "ExCult Baby" specifically posted he messaged her and confirmed he visited prostitutes in Thailand. An ex supporter of his, she was really angry he was now lying about it.

He related that he received a practically useless generic art degree and could not find any related employment. So he signed up for a series of temp jobs in offices,

Well this always confused me too. You cannot get a general arts degree in two years in the UK. Diploma, yes. Not a degree. It might be possible these days for foreign students to pay through the nose at some uni's to do a 'speeded up' master's degree, which would include the bachelor's bit in 2 years (which is the usual ploy since you can stay in the UK post).

Anyway even with a general arts bachelors at a good grade you still have quite a lot of options. I don't believe he has a degree.

a lot of ink has been spilled on the topic of the cross.

the wt felt it had uncovered some deep conspiracy when they found a number of words were used to describe how jesus was understood to have been killed.

there was an extensive thread many years ago that in short strongly supports the conclusion that at least some nt writers envisioned a cross, while others had a tree in mind.

Diogenesister

I understood that the Romans, unlike the Greeks, rarely used crucifixion as a method of execution. It was reserved for sedition or rebellion, not run-of-the-mill crimes.

If Jesus was executed, it's likely he was seen as a rabble rouser at the very least. Romans did not interfere in Jewish religious disputes. That is absolutely sure. They must have portrayed him as marshalling the Jews to overthrow Roman rule.

V It was a little like the scene in the movie Poseidon where one group followed a leader in one direction and they passed by another leader and his group going in the opposite direction,... all trying to escape.

Good analogy vintage 😜

Disappointed

by jhine in

so last night me and hubby got round to watching love actually for the first time .

seemingly everyone says that it's a must see christmas film , people watch it numerous times .

sorry to say l was underwhelmed and won't bother watching it again.

Diogenesister

I must admit I was sceptical about Love Actually even when it came out. Not my kind of film usually.

But I was quite emotional about the old Rocker who finally found who he should have been spending Xmas with, though he'd taken him for granted for years. His best friend and manager, who had been there for him all along, through his various broken marriages and sundry disasters.

And if course the writer dude who learnt his cleaners language so he could talk to her and ask her hand in marriage.

Though in reality people rarely notice those humble ones who keep the wheels turning quietly in the background (hello postal workers, nurses and public transport workers I'm right behind you with the strikes!)

LMsA As a result of him taking cheap shots at Jake, Lloyd has now lost the guy who was going to paint his portrait of Lloyd on his next book and was planning to meet up with in the new year for a series of interviews.

Someone should tell him about the (extremely talented) Vincent Deporter's experience of him, as an artist who volunteered his time and talents for Lloyd.

Lloyd didn't so much as offer him a free T-shirt with his work on. Then proceeded to insult and block him, having used him for interview's and free artwork for merchandise.

I'm going to say this one more time for those at the back (Lloyd).

I have no interest in how you handle your marriage. Whatsoever.

What I will not and cannot accept is your utterly tone-deaf inability to understand that a man who to claims to advocate for child victims of sexual abuse and female victims of domestic & sexual abuse, should find no conflict of interest in using some of the most vulnerable, trafficked or coerced young women in third world countries for their sexual gratification.

Inside or outside of marriage.

I don't know many "former members" who would attend a Kingdom Hall on Christmas day.

I wouldn't rely on this "former members" thing. I can just imagine the elders being told to tell that to the press if one was DF and the other hadn't been for a few months, even.
