"Speaking about my personal life in a betrayal of confidence is violating enough, but the things i've been accused of over the past 3 months are grotesque and I have every right to seek a relief & set the record straight"
Lloyd is OTT with his language. Kim Silvio did not violate Lloyd, and it is grotesque for him to say so.
I do wonder what all these 'grotesque' accusations are, that have been made over the last three months. There was a grotesque accusation that was raised in 2017 and resurfaced a few months ago but nothing else. Whatever it is, he seems to have come up with 15 pages of it but it wouldn't surprise me if it included comments like his hair being untidy.
If he wants to talk about something being grotesque, he might want to consider how many of these sex workers feel about their paying customers.

6820 What's this gross, sexist comment of Lloyd's, on Kim's YouTube Channel that you referred to?

6820 - Are you kidding? You sign up here and your one and only question is to ask Kim Silvio when she got her degree. You're not Lloyd by any chance.
Kim, it looks like there is currently some investigation into your background. I wouldn't say anything and just leave it up to Lloyd to do the research if he wants to find out.
Who knows if he or his trainee lawyer wants to tackle this in a different way. Youve always said that you were retired but you never know what whacky idea he might come up with.

LouGoode - That's so bad. Your work was incredibly good as well, your sense of humour made many of us smile and your insight was/is amazing. For both you and Alexander to have become discouraged due to this bully is dreadful.
Not only were both your video's (and also blogs) of such a high standard than Lloyd's but you both show so much empathy and understanding of others.

LouGood - Could you please confirm whether that is Alexander Jaymes or James?
You wouldn't happen to know why she made her website JW Victims private and her Youtubes don't appear to exist anymore either.
I admire her greatly. She has so much insight as to the female side of being a JW.

Lloyd says he sent 15 pages of claims that he wrote, to his lawyer. There's some satisfaction knowing that Lloyd has to pay for someone to read his stuff.

the plot is about caleb & sophia preaching door to door, caleb with his father and sophia with her mother.

it shows each of them having doors slammed on them four times.

The latest video release 4/4/22 (Lesson 44 'Don't give up') in the comic series of Caleb & Sophia just got weirder.
The plot is about Caleb & Sophia preaching door to door, Caleb with his father and Sophia with her mother. It shows each of them having doors slammed on them four times. They ask their parents if they can have a break but their father talks them into continuing.
They then start playing some comedic music, something like you hear on a Disney chase scene. This music plays as Caleb rings the doorbell and none other than the School's bully opens the door. The video/skit finishes with Caleb waving at him and saying "Oh, Hi Chuck"
If there is anything to pick up from this it's that the feelings of JW children mean nothing and are worth a laugh at their expense.
The final part begins at 1.14

Governing Body Update 3 video on resuming meetings in person
by psyco in

2. experiences
regarding the governing body update 3 video on resuming meetings in person, i am wondering:.

what is the purpose of wearing masks and to sit keeping distances if you shake hands and hug each other before and after the meetings?.
Listener
- The GB also printed something similar in the w07 1/1 pp. 25-30 - The Watchtower—2007
It seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today.
They use those 'get out free' words like 'may' and 'seems' once too many because by doing so in these instances they are admitting that they don't know who is actually doing the communicating.

Watchtower Jul 22 - Jesus directed the GB on how to deal with Covid
by Listener in

2. bible
14 jesus provides wise direction in times of crisis.

the benefits of that direction were evident when the covid-19 pandemic broke out.

while many in the world were uncertain about what course to take, jesus made sure that we received clear guidance to keep us safe.
Listener

If they're not inspired how does Jesus communicate with the these guys? As for not being infallible, they tell their followers to obey even if it seems unreasonable.
According to the GB Update No. 3 Jackson says this direction is something that they 'really feel' -
"The Governing Body really felt Jehovah's direction when making that decision and we were excited to share it. Less than 2 hours after our meeting, the Breaking News was posted"
But they are confused as to whether this special feeling that they get is being done by Jesus or Jehovah.
