B. Sarim,
I just finished reading Charles Mackay's Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. It was first published in 1841, and I believe it is still in print. [I borrowed this one from my uncle's research collection.] The situation isn't unique to Witnesses, of course. It seems to be a general human failing. While Mackay's book is illuminating, it doesn't seem to offer any solutions. Still, you may want to read it.

Dear Argentina,
I don't know if it's Lloyd -the twit- Evans who down voted. Someone has down voted sensible posts on the board for a very long time. Might be them.
I hesitate to censor down votes. I occasionally down vote what I think is rank stupidity.
And Lloyd still has supporters. Look at the number of twitter followers. And his patreon numbers are still above five hundred. I puzzle over people's ability to believe stupidity. I know people use the pejorative "cult" when referring to Witness culture. Academics tend to avoid the word, but with Evans and his followers it seems totally appropriate.

Evans really is a living joke. I wonder if I can write a paper about him and his trials. Would my religion professor accept idiocy as a topic for a paper?
uncle b passed this article on to me.
it's a quick read.
it seems accurate, but it is one-sided.
Shad,
Yes, it seems to be a low-level effort. It is, as I said above, unbalanced. None of my professors would accept a similar effort from me. Believe me, I know that from experience.

I wonder how many of his patrons watched the video.

Uncle B passed this article on to me. It's a quick read. It seems accurate, but it is one-sided. Active Witnesses, apparently chosen by the Spanish OPI, were interviewed. No disaffected or disfellowshipped people were contacted. Nevertheless, the article has some interest. And, yes, some of you will leave negative comments. [My one comment is above], but my preference is for thoughtful comments rather that "it's a cult" or similar.

Since January, Lloyd has lost 322 patrons. Not enough, but it's a start.

A few lessons from then Governing Body? And a good bath.
many people took the covid vaccine and the boosters.
looks like those controlling such world wide campaigns have more in store for the humanity.
the powerful organization world economic forum says that the covid pandemic has started the digitalization and surveillance of everything.

I didn't think Witnesses expelled people for divorce, unless they remarried without a solid inference or proof that their former mate had remarried or had sex with someone. If I'm wrong, and I certainly may be, please point my nose to a Watchtower reference.
