incidentally, and off topic, I always thought this makes him look pretty humble and down to earth. I mean, he's off doing his own shopping, not just sending some skivvy to do it for him. Maybe not what you'd expect of a higher-up in any organization.
I actually thought the same. And he was quite happy to give some friendly advice to the chap in the store on what's a good, reasonably priced whiskey* (Jameson...I approve).
*Without preaching😆

NCC I have never read the book Moby Dick, but Lloyd is Captain Ahab to Watchtower's white whale.
Holy moly great analogy!😆🙌🙌

Just watched Cappy tans interview.
1.Dijana is saying the screenshots are false.
2. Kim talks about what's going on with Dijana and Lloyd. He's an emotionally abusive A-hole. Apparently she was in pieces. When Lloyd went online and said he needs a break because "things aren't working out for him" it was basically a tantrum because Dijana had said "no more. It's not ok for you to be visiting prostitutes all the time" so...... he went to Thailand to try and stop his sex worker addiction!!😳As a FU to Dijana. He said to Kim "she doesn't even know what a massage parlour is!".
Dijana was left alone with the kids in bits.....all the time he's tweeting what a beautiful view etc and how he needs a mental health break .....it was all a lie. Oh....and her therapist thinks he's in an emotionally controlling, abusive relationship.

An upcoming Watchtower article saying if people Pioneer Jehovah will provide!
by LongHairGal ini saw the post on reddit and the thread got many responses..can anybody believe the religion is still saying this??
it has to be as plain as day that so many jws are poor and struggling today because they never got a career or decent job years ago.. sadly, there are still witnesses who believe money will fall from heaven if they are in the full-time ministry.
they expect some miracle to occur..but, we all know the truth: people in the congregation will be hit up for yet more money for another bunch of irresponsible people pursuing poverty.

It's really the Watchtower's own version of prosperity gospel
The bigger donation to Watchtower = the greater the Blessings for you - Jah will provide!
(Funny how Watchtower isn't willing to take a chance on earning a crust by making large charitable donations, too! 🤔)

Simon says - what would you do if your husband was caught living the life he has and was unapologetic about it?
My tuppence worth:
I think it's a combination of things.
There's something very particular about Dijana's family situation which for different reasons I can identify with. Dijana's brother, whom by all accounts she deeply loved, committed suicide very young and her parents are elderly and rely on her care. Hence despite being apostates they still live with her JW parents. So I think Dijana's not just responsible for the kids, but her parents, too.
Another thing: She's also attending college.
I believe she's planning for her future and doing what she views is the best thing right NOW - not for Lloyd, not for her - but those she loves and is responsible for. I think there's an element of fear there, too. Of being left to alone to emotionally care for, but also financially care for, parents & kids without him (& his money) to help.
But im guessing she's not planning on being reliant on Lloyd - and you tube - forever.

S & R wow....... the religion I grew up in would not have once said this.... shameful.
My goodness no one needed to tell us to give Bibles out.....😳😳. You know I think this, more than any single change I've seen, makes the widest bridge to the religion I knew. It really is a different religion.

Pale E That was the reason I stopped watching him years ago. In the early days I'd crack open a beer and get the scoop for half an hour. One hour max. Now? It's like 4 hours per half for each convention day. 24 hours to get the info from 1 convention weekend?!!
Yeah he obviously hugely extends his reviews to increase revenue per convention. I mean it's not like watchtower is pumping out content of any interest 99.98% of the time for him to work with so he re-uses it by recycling it into "sushi" or his very own Questions from Readers using PipeSpeak.
It's just going over the same ground again and again. Therefore so does he - sometimes repeating every video almost.
Someone made an excellent point when they said it's almost as if exjw's are attending the Kingdom Hall Hall by consuming this content!
We're getting the dopamine hit we were conditioned to need.
NCC Curiosity got the best of me and I had to check for how many subscribers Lloyd had in Patreon. The new number is 745. Considering he was very close to 1000 at one point, that is really good.
He said analytics show over half his subscribers are not exJWs. I think a lot of them are atheists and anti cult activists. His subs went up a lot when he hit the atheist group in Austin and then did the rounds with Cosmic Skeptic etc So presumably a lot of his patreon's are atheists and don't know about this.

don't believe Lloyd is a WT plant. Not their style. I think he a Narcissistic Personality and probably needs counseling and medication. He certainly needs a large supply of condoms.
Me three. He's got NPD for sure. Possibly bi polar, too. I noticed that his weight fluctuates wildly from month to month. Also personality disorders cannot be cured or treated as such....but can be managed.
NB. Lloyd was not an elder when he was 29/28 when these online chats supposedly happened, as someone stated above.
More "evidence" from an unverifiable online source: The three elders who stepped down in his old Cong: apparently it was because some elder "unbaptised" a publisher.
Hence Watchtower sent down someone to sort it out and he was DF. Person appears to claim elders stepping down was nothing to do with Lloyd(they weren't an elder btw) Though I'd imagine if an elder decided a baptism was not kosher it was probably a kid, so.....was that to protect a kid from Watchtower consequences of 'behaviour' when baptised?? Reverse the baptism?

I'm still confused as to how they fell into this person's hands in the first place.
Did Dijana or the elders screen shot it and send it to her cousin?
Has anyone established Dijana has a female cousin who is married to a non JW, for starters?
