I don't get Remini's lawsuit. She says Scientology detectives followed her around for awhile and have bots on social media saying bad things about her. She's a celebrity, don't tabloids do the same? And who TF cares about a few bots on social media?

She says they interfered with her ability to get employment. ??? Hollywood gave her 3 years to talk about nothing but Scientology, she got an Emmy for the show. Granted she hasn't done much since but she's an aging actress who still looks good but doesn't have a helluva lot of range. She's no Kate Winslet or Streep, so she's really sure that Scientology is the reason she can't get much work these days?

I'm willing to keep an open mind but I'd really like to see the basis of what she's alleging.

I know a lot of super PIMIs who would have had a field day if they knew just about Lloyd stealing Crisis of Conscience and handing it out without the author's permission. "Yep, see what happens when you leave Jehovah's loving organization? You steal and lie and act like it's the other person's fault..."

god forbid they would find out about the prostitutes and all the rest.

So lloyd can crow all he wants about "aggressive activists who set the movement backwards" but his behavior does more damage to any "movement" than anything else.

Just to bring everyone up to speed, the power of attorney (POA) signed by Kim (Silvio) is filed with the court.

Right now is the waiting game. The court need to process and approve it before the attorney can access those documents. Since the courts are on strike, there's no telling how long that might be (weeks? months?).

Once it's processed and approved, she will download all the documents and forward them to us. Her fee doesn't include translating as that became a bit prohibitive and we're thinking we'll try to run them through something online first.

HOwever, she should have access to all the documents, not just that last letter/decision.

After that, if we need her advice or other services, we can ask her for a quote and use her on a case by case basis. Someone sent me a private msg asking about reporting Lloyd for using prostitutes and that's certainly something we might bring up with her but we need to balance what we want her to do with how much it might cost.

So that's where we're at. Everyone keep fingers crossed that this works so we at least know what's going on. I hate hiring people through sites like that but she seems legit.

And Lloyd since we know you're reading this, enjoy the rest of your holiday ha ha ha ha ha ha ha fat ass.

He claimed at 387 patrons, he would have to drop to 2 or 3 videos a month

That's such bullshit. How much time does it take to sit through JW crap and pick it apart? He could easily make several videos every week.

You can also use online sites like ClipChamp to make decent quality videos with sound, graphics, etc. in minutes. Canva lets you make graphics and cards super easy.

He's just too frickin' lazy to learn any of that. Plus heaven forbid his almighty videomaking takes away from his porn watching, wanking, and cruising for a "date."

Normally I hate being wrong but hot damn, we were being generous at 482. Never thought it would get this low.

Not so fast... he's at 495 right now. You know the rules, we give it at least through today and tomorrow.

Re: the translation costs... just a reminder that we don't have the documents in our hands.

The lawyer mentioned that only those involved in the case directly can access them (probably why there's no way to just click and open them online).

So we're paying her to prepare a power of attorney and file it with the court and then access the case documents once the court acknowledges that. Translating also means she can explain what the documents mean from a legal point of view.

I know here in America all legal documents need to follow a particular format and wording and then get filed a particular way. One mistake and they toss it out.

IMHO a few hundred bucks is not a ridiculous amount to make sure everything gets done right and to have a few minutes of real legal advice.

Once we get the power of attorney and Kim signs and sends it over, she can also say that she's actually retained legal counsel in Croatia. Lloyd needs to think seriously about that if he plans on pushing forward with this bullshit. Since we know he reads this board, he also needs to consider the number of people willing to chip in a few bucks to get it done (plus a few have contacted me privately so there's more than he knows).

Anyway, it's Sunday so I'm sure we won't hear anything more today but will keep everyone posted moving forward.

LOL ... Inna says that emoji is awesome!

And for everyone offering to chip in, we got an initial offering back from the lawyer. She'll be sending a power of attorney (POA) which Kim (Silvio) will sign.

Right now we and one anonymous donor can cover the first round of the attorney's costs (around $400 USD) which includes filing the POA with the court. Once they acknowledge that she can access the case documents. Her fee includes translating that last document (the "decision/letter of the court").

However, the lawyer did note that with the courts being on strike, it could take some time to hear back from them. Grrr...

On the upside, with the POA in place, she would have access to all the other documents filed so we would need to decide what else we want to have her access and translate.

So, moving forward after this initial round of stuff, if we need some financial assistance we'll definitely let everyone know and will be happy to provide paperwork showing what's being paid for etc. etc. etc.

In the meantime, we just need to wait for the paperwork to get filed and then hope the strike doesn't put things off for too long. I'll keep everyone posted and keep your fingers still crossed that it all works out.

LOL ... maybe I shouldn't have said anything with a whole weekend ahead of us! Now everyone needs to wait to find out more... sorry!

If anything, it gives us an idea of what might be needed to get our hands on the documents. If this woman doesn't work out there are lots of other lawyers in Croatia, she was just the first to bite and was responsive and professional from what I could see... but it was already late in the day Croatian time when they messaged.

So I'm off to bed, as soon as we hear anything y'all will be the first to know, I promise.
