He needs to realize that people are strapped for cash now more than ever. If he's not giving them something of value, they're going to consider their donations carefully. Now that he's been dropped from that documentary and isn't likely to be featured on any other TV programs, and has nothing to do with lawsuits or criminal cases against them, why keep giving him money? His YouTube is also rubbish, just rehashing the same rebuttal "sushi" (WTF is that?). He can forget any interviews of substance anytime in the future.

Watchtower is also crumbling from the inside. More and more are realizing their teachings are bullshit and they're sick of crusty old elders telling them what to do. WT also can't keep the abuses and hypocrisies secret anymore.

So maybe people were happy to pay someone, anyone, money to attack the WT ten years ago but it's just not as needed anymore. Especially not Lloyd, who's been reduced to showing up at open meetings with random MPs and a whopping 17 people in the room, and trying to "informal witness" to the occasional JW on the street.

And did he ever give that promised Ted Talk? Of course not. Maybe he found out they don't pay their speakers and not everyone who speaks at their conferences is included in their Ted Talk videos. And they weren't going to let him talk any longer than anyone else, and god forbid he need to keep his ramblings short and sweet. We all know it's not about presenting information, it's about being famous and there was no guarantee of that so why put in the effort, as far as he's concerned. Lying sack of shit.

He literally just lost another one in the time it took me to post that an hour ago. Again, I know some will return but yikes...

I think that's 10 he's lost with the first of the month rollover...? I'm sure a few will come back but still, it's going in the right direction and hasn't gotten anywhere near to bouncing back like I'm sure he assumed it would.

Yes, he give them the "Illusion " his still a Big important activist

IMHO Lloyd needs to take a step back and regroup, start from scratch... except I don't think he has the attention span or smarts to do it. That AAWA guy got his website started those years ago, and over the years he's just thrown things at the fridge to see what sticks. He's been lucky with the YT channel and book and hounding people in bigger circles (Remini, etc) for attention but that's over now. His videos might hit 8K views, he's lost his footing for this next book he's supposedly writing, and he doesn't have the talent needed to rebrand himself properly (seriously, WTF was with that Mormon video series? "God's buffet"? Sheesh)

I think it's obvious he's floundering, flailing around trying to get an audience. Any person with a clue would realize they need to rework their public image about now, but I imagine he only wants to do the fun stuff of writing and blathering away in front of the camera. All that boring nonsense of building a website, setting goals and making a plan, getting organized, retooling his channel... meh. That's for someone else. He has lobster buns and karaoke to get to.

Since I know you're still reading Lloyd, be sure to put a fork on your next shopping list... then stick it in you, you're done.

Did he really think that his exjw videos would support him financially right on into old age?

I'm sure he thought he'd branch out into debunking religions like Scientology and Mormonism and then more mainstream religions, while becoming this great atheist philosopher (again, saying that as a fellow atheist).

He pictures himself on the same plane as Richard Dawkins and probably thought he'd be on the news whenever someone needs a comment about religion, doing talk shows and podcasts, sharing his great righteous wisdom, selling his books, growing his YouTube channel into millions of subscribers, everyone admiring him for how smart he is (because no one else has ever figured out that the flood of Noah's day just isn't logical... thank you Lloyd for Lloydsplaining that to us children).

You can tell he really thought he would take off as a brand onto himself, he literally wears t-shirts with stupid slogans from his channel. "Tibor is Gracious." WTF? What person walking down the street would have any clue what that means, or care?

it rarely occurs to fame-hungry narcissists like him that there is any end game or shelf life for them. They really think they'll just keep getting bigger and bigger.

P.S. I think I'm going to start signing my posts the way he did, just because it was so obnoxious it makes me laugh. You're welcome.

Who is he to talk about evasion and deception?

And you know he'll just start going on about how his activism is the only right way to do things, criticizing "aggressive" protests while basically doing a one-on-one protest. I mean, which is worse, standing off to the side holding a sign or confronting someone directly and putting them on the defensive?

Besides, what does he think he's going to accomplish here, wake people up individually? We already know the WT uses double talk and lies so why go undercover with one JW at a time? Just pointless soundbites to use as fodder for his YT channel.
