  Newly enlightened - We have been friends with Marko since 2015.
  We might come out with a video about this

  If you believe him to be a real person, can you provide the evidence? Do you know if Marko has made any other ex JW 'friends'?

  Over on reddit Truthdoesnotchange wrote this comment about the recent pdf statement by Marko

  The metadata in the document shows it was written by Kim Brooks. She and her husband have a long and antagonistic history with Lloyd and have been known to peddle in misinformation before. The document itself is largely being promoted by accounts on twitter and this sub that were created around the same time this controversy started. At this point, the i think it is wise to treat this statement with a healthy bit of skepticism.

  stumbled on this video online.

  looks like the entire wt library is online and available via login access.

  read some comments and presenter was a bethel insider so he had special access.

  Most JWs don't have access, including Bethel wives. It wouldn't be surprising that not one female JW has access.

  Slander is not a crime, it is a civil matter whereas harassment is criminal and he mentions harassing in his statement. He also says that he is seeking legal protection which suggests that he is not talking about suing but some form of protection maybe in the form of a cease and desist.

  What's interesting is that he claims most of the information said about him is untrue but he does not mention Kim once or even what sex the 'person' is. He only refers to the person as having been a close colleague and volunteer.

  It's sad that he has no understanding as to why Kim felt the need to disclose the information about him. How can he have any understanding of abuse victims if this is the case?

  The Blue Envelope from Youtube had done some research into his history and found that in 1975 Anthony and his wife stood down from full time witnessing. It was that year that their first son Jessy was born. His second son was born in 1977. This means that this talk that he gave to his sons couldn't have taken place until the 1980s.

  Is it just me or did he seem proud of the fact that he was paying prostitutes rather than having an affair?

  There's a lot of censoring going on at ex JW Reddit, moderators have even asked that they use the term sex worker instead of hooker or prostitute. What term did Lloyd use?

  Smiddy3, it's Kenneth Cook, I just added the y as I thought it sounded better. He's the most recent Governing Body member.

  This is the link to the video

  Yes, in the latest GB update (2022 No 1) Kenneth Cooky explains the problems with social isolation and that even the bible talks against it.

  He says

  - One cause for anxiety is social isolation

  - Proverbs 18:1 "Whoever isolates himself pursues his own selfish desires, he rejects all practical wisdom"

  - There are ways of fighting back at the anxiety that isolation can cause in our hearts such as turning your camera on and waving when connecting to zoom meetings, turning it on earlier, leaving later and going into break out rooms.

  They are blatantly aware of the importance of socializing and serious dangers of isolation (or shunning), and well know that their df policy is based on isolation. This shows what an unloving organisation this is.

  Previously, the President of the WB&TS kept changing doctrine taught to Jehovah's Witnesses. Currently, the Governing Body does this.

  Are you serious Road to Nowhere? You don't happen to have Irish Elders by any chance?

  Changing it was just lording it over the congregation if it was not the preferred time as it isn't necessary until there is a return to the hall.

  Youtuber, The Blue Envelope has done the most in depth research that I've seen. He has at least four video's on Anthony Morris Jnr (apparently that's his legal name).
