I’m presuming that for LJE the emphasis is on “consenting” rather than “adult”?
So… a Thailand “girlfriend” may be consenting but not adult.
that would be the point

Most of the quotations from secular publications and encyclopaedia contained in the RS book as I recall were so vastly out-of-date, it used to be embarrassing making reference to them when I used to share in the door to door service.
On the other hand it was a useful ‘tool’ and most householders didn’t know how to argue against it.
Have they done away with it? If they have, I would think it’s a backward step (from their point of view, of course! )

If the related accusations are completely false why keep on mentioning consenting?
Thoughts?
I can just about remember the days of being in dubdom but I can recall that they (the great theocrats) would tell us that the people out in “the world” are sinful, without restraint.
it seems to me that “lloyd” needs to be re-assured of that by justifying his nefarious activities with the qualifying phrase “consenting adults”.

It's really nothing to do with the icky simping of an overweight, married, middle aged man around pretty girls half his age on the internet.*
Or simply “mid-life crisis”.

but it also applies to many of his other videos that are critical of the WTS for the sake of being critical.
And that demonstrates the downside of the Patreon business model: Channels churning out inconsequential and meaningless videos just for the sake of producing content.
I’ve seen this too in channels devoted to football and YouTubers admitting they’ve “got” to produce content to keep their patrons fed.
As I’ve often said, there’s a whole heap of Watchtower sins that are clearly on view, no need to make up stuff.

Also, is it just me or does the "Pillowgate" video seem extra tacky in hindsight? Part of the bunker is decorated to look similar to the background in that video. When I first saw the word "Pillowgate" I thought it would be about Watchtower running a pillow factory, maybe some sweatshop in a poor nation, not about the private habits of Watchtower's volunteer labor.
To be fair, I understood his argument there was to demonstrate the extent of the control that the borg has over individual’s lives, even going so far as to dictate what happens in the bedroom.
I agree though he really laboured the point and ‘milked it’ no end. Follow the money, eh?

The generalities are true. We know there are serious drinking problems there. And many are on depressants.
Goodness me, how can that be verified?
Firsthand knowledge perhaps?
Just because a narrative feeds into our prejudices doesn’t make it real.
