THIS is what Orthodox Church anti-sect propaganda is worth: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/26/russia-ukraine-live-updates.html
Do not buy into it simply because they oppose Witnesses to. Doing so is a waste of good money and good effort.

I do not see supporting an Orthodox troll who opposes the Watchtower because he sees it as a threat to Orthodox Churches as worth while. His personal testimonies carry little weight and smack of the usual Russian Orthodox propaganda. No, I will not contribute to a farce.

I'm not defending Lloyd boy. I detest him. But "argument" as he uses it falls under this definition:
a reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong.
"there is a strong argument for submitting a formal appeal"

He is, however, argumentative, self-centered, lacking any sense of civility, in need of a brain transplant and more than a little stupid.

I need a good scan of "Israel's greater faith contrasted with 'Zion's watch tower' doctrine" It is signed W.D.F. That was William D. Forsyth. It was published about 1910.
Do you have a copy? Will you scan it for me?

Lloyd boy reminds me of the Gnome King in the Oz ztories, always trying but always failing. Who stoled his magic belt? Maybe he just lost it in some seady hotel room.

Lloyd boy isn't especially articulate which is defined as " having or showing the ability to speak fluently and coherently." Lloyd, coherent? Not even slightly. Glib is a better descriptor.
I don't remember how old I was when I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark. Not very. At one of my aunts' house with older cousins. It did not frighten me though I found the snake pit thing a bit icky.

the 2015 documentary - 'the forecaster' was basically banned in usa.

so martin leased a movie theater in cherry hill nj and showed it himself.. 'a german tv station funded the 2015 documentary on me entitled the forecaster.

because it raised some of these issues back then, the film was banned in the united states as well as switzerland...'.

I looked at Evans' twitter feed today. He has thousands of followers, apparently. But those who engage with him are an exceptionally low number. Earlier in this thread someone suggested (might even have been me) that he purchased one of the 'guaranteed followers' packages. Given the very low number who engage with him, this appears to be so. He is probably nearly bottomed out; I mean he's lost about as many followers and patrons as he will.
This isn't surprising since most of his loyal patrons seem to view morals as he does. A large number of ex-Witnesses did not leave for principle, but because they could not or would not live by the Bible's moral standards. They're Evans' fellow travelers. "Birds of a feather ..." and such.
