  Lloyd is such a phoney, it's not bloody mother's day for us in the UK or Europe. He never remembers THAT mother's day - because it gets less 'traction'. It's just something to post to make him look good. Except it doesn't - Most guys mention what they and the kids did for their mum on mother's day, not what Dad did with the children!! - She's treated worse than an old dish rag you narcissist!

  N.B. According to that letter he never got to "date" any Thai girls. Since we know from Ex Cult Baby he definitely admitted to sex in Thailand with a sex worker, as you would say, Lloyd, that means it was 'monetized' 🤔

  They actually said to you they were "Never going to reinstate you" In those exact words?

  I'm deeply sorry for what you are going through. Jehovah's witnesses is the absolute worst religion for those who are suffering with any mental illness. They have zero compassion, zero understanding and make zero allowances - despite their well researched, shiny, polished publications replete with all the latest buzz words. They drive a horrific number of people to suicide every year. I'm so sorry, no one deserves this.

  I do have to say I've never heard of someone being told they'll never be reinstated (even though they may be thinking it). But knowing watchtower as I do, if your mental illness is very apparent to the public...as cruel as these words are ...you are of no "use" to them. As a recruiter or worker.

  Watchtower is a cult. A machine that uses members for profit, whether it's 'managers' know it or not it's nevertheless a fact.

  It is now 2003.... Where is Armageddon?

  i find it extremely amusing how each year is passing without armageddon.

  "for the year 2000, i visualize a world transformed into a beautiful paradise!

  but i don't think that either the present world or its rulers will live to see that day.. we are living in the last days of the system of things.

  Ted Jarucz (?) claimed "Barbara Anderson was a sign of the closeness of Armageddon" !!

  He claims she was "the modern fulfillment of an evil female character in Isiah, signalling the destruction of Jehovah's people in the Hebrew scriptures"!

  "Jehovah stepped in to prevent it, as he will do today".....only he didn't 🤣because that was over 20 years ago!!! Well, he was right in a way, because it was the end .... for him.

  Well according to Bart Erhman, who you can certainly say has read everything there is to read about Jesus, written by those believed his nearest contemporaries and that in the original language, even *he* believed the end would come in his lifetime! Or rather, he didn't expect to have to die!

  Bart says Jesus expected to be rescued by God as he dealt with Jesus foes...so Armageddon. Some of you will not taste death, etc.

  Guessing "unconfirmed" is the translation app getting "unsigned" wrong.

  🤦🏻‍♀️So now he's an unsigned musician as well as internationally renowned film maker and author, too.

  Being able to strum a few chords doesn't make you a musician Lloyd.

  Philippians 2:5-9

  he tells them to have the same attitude as christ.

  man was made in the image of god.

  these verses do not mean that because we are the image of god that we are god.

  Where the first Adam sought his own interests, the second Adam remained obedient to the point of death.

  According to the story, an immensely powerful, wise and ancient creature fooled eve into eating some fruit in order to have understanding. To know good from bad - Which presupposes they didn't know bad before they ate the fruit. If they didn't know bad how can they do bad? And certainly anything as complex as doing something 'in their own interests'? It's somewhat like a toddler being tricked by an adult to do something their parent said not to and when the parent returns they punish the toddler.

  Forever Alone I am a survivor of CSA (outside WT) that took place at my school from grades kindergarten - 2nd grade.

  I'm so sorry Forev's. Me too - at the same exact age, on the way home from school. Definitely targeted because he abused others. I agree we are more vulnerable at that age, mostly because we don't know what the hell is going on. We don't understand.

  We also tend to obey adults automatically if that's how we were raised.

  LMsALook what this serial punter who equates criticism of sex tourism in Thailand with racism has to say about CSA?

  Lloyd Evans Talks about the "government clamping down" on CSA....Is he aware, I wonder, that it's illegal for British nationals to go to Thailand to procure sex as a sex tourist?!

  This was an initiative set in place to try and tackle the scourge of CSA worldwide!

  LMsA 2021 Lloyd would have had Nilsen, Wynne, O’Donnell, Ortiz and Silvio on for a livestream about the Norway case that paid him handsomely for the work of others.

  And the more hard work involved, the more gravitas the project had....the more cash people would throw at him during the livestream. Sickening.

  He’d rather continue the status quo and just make rebuttal videos or answer voicemails, some of which may just be plants in order for him to talk about something he wants to talk about.

  Questions from Readers?😜

  "Apostasy"

  by Zilgee in

  2. bible

  the so called apostates of first century later became the catholic church.

  these apostates like saint athanasius, theologian, ecclesiastical statesman, and egyptian national leader decided which books would be part of the bible.

  we are now following what they decided.

  Ziglee Well you asked😂

  NB. Aqsed12345Got to agree with If you're going to be Christian, I can't see how you can do anything but accept Catholicism is the legitimate church.

  As an aside....Charles being crowned - supposedly chosen and anointed by God, yet claiming he will protect all these other faiths🤔 Has he asked Jesus about all this?!!
