Hi dubstepped,
Always appreciate what you are doing to help others. Keep up the good work!
after taking march off because our 18th wedding anniversary coincided with when i normally release an episode, and after releasing so much with david's story in february (which i even updated in march), i'm back with a new episode of the "shunned" podcast.
here is the summary, taken from shunnedpodcast.com/episodes.
it is available on itunes (apple podcasts), google play, or wherever you get your podcasts from:.

hi all.
just speaking to a sister about the royal commission.. she said they they have now changed their guidelines so that they now report all to the police.. really?
does anyone know if this is true?.
The policy has made some very tiny tweaks, but that unfortunately is as far as it will go.
Remember Gary Breaux, "We will NEVER change our policy" on 2 witnesses.
Shameful
we received an invitation in the mail yesterday for my jw niece's wedding.. i am posting this just to add for any lurkers to see typical jw practices.. 1st - and perfectly understandable for anybody who is or was a jw.
i'm not invited.
:) hey, i'm really not complaining about that.
Hi wannabefree,
I raised 2 daughters myself. I have been through the drama with my oldest when the Body of Elders refused to let her be married in the KH, and I was part of the Elder Body at the time!!
I feel your pain. The situation sucks for sure, especially with your wife being pulled way from you and more towards the Org. The only thing I can say is try to keep showing love to your dear wife and hopefully she will eventually wake up to the hypocrisy of the Org.
At least your daughter is wise to the Org's nonsense. Hopefully your wife will wake up soon as well.

Wow LizD! What a horrifying experience. I applaud you for coming forward and calling the police. The Org has covered this up for way too long. I can't even imagine how these crimes have affected the victims. It ends now thanks to you and the brave actions of others.
Again, thank you and our thoughts are with you.

Thank you both for having the courage to share your stories. This has helped many and will continue provide comfort and encouragement for many to leave this corrupt and divisive Org.
john cedars channel posted its latest video, interviewing a former jdub who is now a filmmaker (link displayed below).. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gte6remsbe0.
i found this one very interesting, informative and intriguing re: this young man's activism and his mission to help anyone who wants to get away from wt..
Scott Homan is not an ex-JW. Never baptized.
i see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.
this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.
i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.
While I'm on a roll, let's also get real about Lloyd's TRUE situation. He is still living at his wife's parents house. As an ex-elder for 25 years and having served on at least 250 Judicial Committees ( to my everlasting shame), it seems obvious to me that Lloyd's in-laws were probably never "uber" dubs. If they were, Lloyd and his wife would NOT be shacked up with them.
His father in England is a different story, he is a genuine cult member who shuns Lloyd and that is a terrible thing. My heart goes out to Lloyd on that one.

Also, Scott is a "poser" JW. Never baptized, not really an ex-JW in reality.

I like a lot of Lloyd's content, but I have to call him out on his latest video when he interviewed Scott Homan. (XJW Coming Out) As I started watching I was wondering why Lloyd was showing a "hyped" level of enthusiasm for Scott's "project".
Scott would play a "teaser" clip (which I thought was actually ok) and then Lloyd would interject almost fanatical praise, saying things like "Brilliant!". The clips were not bad, but brilliant?
It didn't take long to understand why Lloyd was hyping a very average product- he is "collaborating" with Scott. Patron, GoFundMe, who knows what else.Give us your money so we can produce videos for you!
What really irked me was at one point in the interview, Scott said that he needed to travel to Vietnam to edit the teasers he had just showed. How could he be expected to edit videos at his computer in Colorado? No, his computer must be at some other location in the world to do the same thing. Therefore, give us money so Scott can take trips all over the world ( something a lot of us here can't afford).
Lloyd is starting to cross the line in my opinion.
