Can anyone write in German? ( Maybe fast Jehu?)

I'll post on Reddit a thread topic that will link this thread about vulnerable, low income JWs being taken advantage of by exjws. I'm willing to bet if no names are mentioned they won't take it down. I'm not sure you can still post on the Lloyd mega threads and anyway it wouldn't be seen by new leavers and non proficient English speakers, who probably just check out the top threads anyway.

If the post is written in a generalised way but with some specific examples relating to Lloyd it may just fly.

I just want to get the financials straight first. I need a link to his company tax return for last year (the €8,200 thing), his earnings for 2022, his earnings for 2021 and maybe a link to the average Croation wage? If I don't use his name but give these as "examples" of the sort of income "top" exjw you tubers earn maybe the post will stay up? I know Reddit mods don't like "intrigue" as they term it, but for heaven's sakes surely they can see how vulnerable young and impoverished cult leavers are wide open to being taken advantage of like this. His income even now is more than enough to live comfortably in Croatia, especially when you're not even having to pay rent, or a mortgage, if you don't want to.

Bartolomeo Do you remember roughly what year it was?

I'm sorry I don't. All I know is that I remember seeing since 2016 because it stood out to me so much. I wouldn't have taken note to it prior to that because I was still a believing JW (though inactive for a few years).
I'll keep looking.

Just want to add this link to a post from a distraught mother on here whose JW father is trying to stop the child seeing her (non JW Christian mother).

I think what got to me is the mother saying in another post how the child smiles at her when her father isn't looking. Attempting to isolate the child from her own mother. This is so abusive. The court had to intervene to ensure he stops this behaviour (but of course he didn't )

Best of Topics

by Simon in

jw
best-of

some people had a penchant for posting their topics directly into the "best of topics" area.

it seemed more than a little arrogant to me that some imagined their every utterance was immediately a greatest hit but maybe people weren't clear on what that area was intended for .... from now on you won't be able to start new topics there.

if anyone wants to submit a topic to be added there (perhaps an index to a curated list of other topics by a user or on a certain subject / theme) then just start one in "suggestions" and pm me and, if it is suitable, then i'll move it into there.. existing topics posted there recently have been moved to more appropriate areas..

Just to say the link to best of Mexico and Malawi isn't working. Is there a way to resurrect it please?

Is begging for money against you tube terms of service?

It bloody should be.

lets say) £10 - £20 a month

That's quite a lot I doubt most will be paying that. On the other hand he'll have one or two who donate a lot (like the person who donated £1000 when he said he was skint last time).

Most of these people won't be well off and will have to stop at some point. There's probably a lot whose first language isn't English and have no idea about this and/or the atheist community. He's a scumbag of the highest order. But it can't last forever.

Omg. 447 Patrons. 60 in the last 3hrs.

Fighting a loosing battle.

More creators are coming along, better creators are coming along and he no longer gets his "leeks," nor will decent people (when they find out) work with him.

He'll get a few more patrons. Sure. But if he keeps begging every few months people will cotton on to him. Eventually. God it's so like the Borg it's unreal! I used to think people were being extra when they compared his technique with the Borg but... jeese Louise....he can't bloody help himself, can he?!!!

It's only sheer laziness that stops him firing Tibor ....there's got to be a real race/battle going on his head between his total greed (sack Tibor) and his consummate laziness (keep Tibor) 😂😂

Now that's what I call congnative dissonance!

Plot twist: There WAS no Bethelite or slide presentation. She already knows.

Fortunately she's a real sweetie (hence R & R doesn't have the heart to tell her no).

If it were my family that's exactly what they'd do!!😜

Samcats don't recall any articles with parents not eating with their children.

Samcats I've been looking for it but I'll tell you what it looked like so it may jog your memory.

There is either a fairly small photo or a drawing (bluish in tone?) of an older man (the father) sitting alone in the kitchen, at a small table (that may be attached to a wall) with his back to the door. He is eating alone in the house because his teenaged son has been disfellowshipped. The angle is sort of from above.

It is a sort of life story I believe of a JW father whose young teenage son still living at home has been disfellowshipped. If I remember rightly the father was what we would probably call 'soft shunning' his son in the home because he believes it's what God wants, Is the moral thing to do and (of course) will bring his son back to watchtower. It intimates the son expects a normal relationship because he's still at home but the father makes it clear - by eating alone and keeping contact to a minimum - that that will not happen.
I'll keep looking for it.
