I knew there was something he was struggling with psychologically, because of the way his weight yo-yo'd from video to video when he made them monthly, or at least less often.

I think it says a lot that following radio silence from Mark on Twitter, Lloyd unfollowed him. He is so narcissistic he cannot understand that he's put mark in an impossible position and that Marks priority has to be the women & kids he advocates for.
This could have been Lloyds moment to build bridges. To say he understands how these CSA victims & their families feel and that he's going to A) educate himself around "sex work" and its cost to the women who engage in it and B) that he's going to get some couples councilling & around porn addiction etc (lord knows he has the money).
He could have come back even stronger.
Actually people were surprised Mark was a volunteer and didn't get paid. The only person Lloyd has ever given money to is his professional video editor. One you tuber tweeted he's lost patreon money because he wouldn't come out in support of Lloyd. They have literally replaced eight leaders who must not be questioned with one. Its bizarre for those of us who know him of old.

Public Statement of Mark O’Donnell
It has come to my attention that on Monday, January 30th, 2022, a Reddit statement by resigned JW Watch operations director Kim Silvio was posted concerning the activities and conduct of JW Watch / JW Survey founder, Lloyd Evans.
Following that statement, a monetized video was released by Lloyd Evans in which he addressed some of the claims made by Ms. Silvio, who described a private conversation she had with Mr. Evans and one additional person. The Livestream video was replete with expletives and references to alleged sexual contact with prostitutes.
Evans declared in strong language that his infidelities were not the business of his patrons or the public, stating that how he used donated and other funds is beyond scrutiny.
I strongly denounce the use of any finances for purposes that create a notable conflict of interest for any reporter covering the sensitive topic of child sexual abuse.
In my opinion, the links between sex work and the grooming of children, child abuse, violent crime, drugs, and other unlawful activities call into question the credibility of anyone reporting on the subject of child abuse. While it is not my business to judge the personal lives of other reporters, I must take on board the feelings and sensitivities of the general public, including those affected by these activities.
As a reporter and consultant for child sexual abuse cases in the United States and worldwide, I am obligated to adhere to a reasonable code of conduct that mirrors the gravity and substance of this subject matter. I am also sensitive to the feelings of survivors of abuse who trust my integrity and work. Many of those survivors have conservative values and ethics, and I respect their positions.
Most news organizations have a code of ethics for reporting and for the conduct of journalists themselves.
For example, National Public Radio (NPR) recognizes the importance of giving weight to the scruples of its patrons by reminding the public that perception does influence credibility, and that reporters have limitations.
“To secure the public's trust, we must make it clear that our primary allegiance is to the public. Any personal or professional interests that conflict with that allegiance, whether in appearance or in reality, risk compromising our credibility”
“We enjoy the right to robust personal lives, yet we accept some unique professional obligations and limitations. Because our words and actions can damage the public's opinion of NPR, we comport ourselves in ways that honor our professional impartiality.” - NPR
As a result of Mr. Evans’statements, I have resigned from affiliation with Lloyd Evans and JW Watch, effective February 1st, 2022. I will always be thankful for the information I have shared on Lloyd’s website and channel, and I know that those who follow my work respect the long hours and resources I have personally devoted to this endeavor. My work remains unchanged.
A few facts for clarification:
● Neither myself nor my wife Kimberly O’Donnell had any knowledge of these issues until January 30th, when this was made public by Ms. Kim Silvio.
● Ms. Silvio released information ahead of her statement to persons not associated with JW Watch, and without the knowledge or consent of Lloyd Evans or his wife.
● Ms. Evans had no knowledge or advance notice of the public statement of Ms. Kim Silvio.
● I was not funded or employed by Mr. Evans, JW Survey, or JW Watch. My work has been supported by my own personal savings.
● Aside from my resignation, I have had no personal communication with Lloyd Evans for several months, and I have received no apology related to his conduct and its impact on those connected with JW Watch or the general public.
● I have had absolutely no contact with Kim Silvio or “producer Bob” in any matters related to this issue, either directly or indirectly.
● Certain additional allegations against Mr. Evans have surfaced since January 30th that are false and uncorroborated, and have caused great distress to Mr. Evans’ immediate family. I condemn any claims that were made with malicious or slanderous intent and without substantiation.

wonder whether the Bethel elder came to Lloyd's judicial committee hearing just because the two other elders didn't speak English well enough? Isn't this a much more plausible explanation?
Exactly he didn't speak Croation back then. I don't think pushing this Lloyd is an Paedo thing is good when there's no evidence.
It's enough his utter tone deafness to others suffering (Adam the guy who tried to kill himself) his spending donated money on prostitutes, his going to the sex traffic capital of the world (it's really horrific) and his cruelty and carelessness of his wife's feelings (not to mention his arrogance).
Adding unproven gossip to the list makes us look bad.

People in most of the world have no idea about this strike. I wouldn't have known about it in Europe if it wasn't for this forum.
This is an expression that applies to Jehovah's witnesses down the ages: "Can't you see everything isn't about you?"

Yes I have no idea. If you don't want to post it on here, maybe link it?
I've actually had a close listen to @Burg3rtime 's video with Kim. I notice Kim said to him please either stop posting about your mental health distress, or tell people the truth. Because your behaviour is seriously negatively impacting vulnerable members of the community.
Because she knew It wasn't a mental health crises - he got caught being unfaithful.
I used to see a mental health crises as someone like my husband's sister, who is schizophrenic, being sectioned. I do realise I was wrong to think in such a narrow way.
Kim has had depression in the past and she knows Calling people out on their BS is not being insensitive around mental health. It's about time, like the media, we stopped calling every piece of bad behaviour a 'mental health crises'.

Wow that's a pity because Sam Herd was at least showing some humility in that part. He was kinda saying "who are we to be looked up to? Just humans!"
Actually made me laugh when he said the parents tell the kids to do drawings of them and he's like "and they do....Good God!....but they mean well"😳😆

Cedars EVERYONE who works closely with you is a volunteer (except the producer you just hired) because they do all the leg work and provide the expertise FOR FREE and YOU take in all the money.
With the exception of your jw broadcast reviews, almost all your content is provided free by others. Either through their stories/interviews, their legal expertise (Kim), their survey articles & court reports ( O'Donnell and others), their support (Sherrie d'souza). He's never once personally helped someone in need, so he recruited her to do it free of charge. Plus I'm sure sherrie, like Kim, has paid hard cash for the 'privilege' of working with him) etc.
The only guest he paid was Bart Erhman and I'm certain he would have drummed up the cash for that from his patreons, for the privilege of a basic interview they could see on myriad other channels.
Really most of the people who woke up in the last ten years learned everything from PAUL GRUNDY, Barb Anderson, Jim penton and others who wrote books or posted what they learned on this site.
. Do you think they'd have the brains to research everything from scratch - track people down, check receipts etc.without most of the people who went before??
NB what's the name of the guy who wrote about the book "Life how did it get here by Evolution or Creation?' and went through every single reference, fact checking each one? That's the sort of thing I mean is really responsible for waking people up. Lloyd just makes it easier for lazy People to access this information.
