I also wonder why he doesn't show the whole page. Could this be another attempt at pretending he is doing something? I guess we will all know soon enough.

I still don't see how a criminal lawsuit can succeed.

I wonder what causes a review to be removed. If you are a verified buyer of the book as in purchased it at the place you are reviewing it, I think your review of it should be a permanent record. How else would someone know how good or bad a product could be?
I don't have a copy of the book, and I will not leave a review even though I am certain it is terrible. Dishonesty isn't a becoming trait.

if the great tribulation starts I will jump that side of the fence🤣
otherwise if I get to be an old man I won’t be disappointed I wasted my life and Armageddon still hasn’t come😆
Everybody gets to decide how they want to spend their life. I certainly hope if anyone comes to you with doubts about Watchtower that you don't try to stop them from leaving. I have a feeling that an elder I talked to 23 years ago was a PIMO elder. He told me about how embarrassed he was in January 1976 returning to work after the 1975 holidays. Apparently he told everybody goodbye for the last time which left them all very confused as to why he was doing that. He told me that Watchtower has been wrong many times and will likely be wrong about things we believe today. He was not wrong. Watchtower abandoned so much of what they taught in the Revelation Grand Climax book. I hear the same is true of other books that were produced shortly after my exit.
I also hope if you are ever part of a judicial committee that involves sexual abuse that you do the right thing and report it like any respectable person should do.

Those book reviews on The Reluctant Apostate are outstanding. It got me curious about Lloyd's Escape From Jehovah's Witnesses and I found this gem.
Just in case you can't read it, it says:
“How to Escape Buying This Book”. Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018
“How to leave Jehovah’s Witnesses”? Stop going to meetings, simple as that. And if an elder visits you, tell them you are fine as you are, or ignore them. Every jw already knows how to “escape”.

Okay, so Lloyd understands copyright law when it applies to his own book, just not others. Got it. Thanks for the summary of what took place.

LMSA, I don't know much about this part of the Lloyd Evans story. What happened while begging for free Spanish translators?

hi everyone i’m a pimo elder ex bethelite and pioneer who has been having doubts for many years.

as of late i’ve come to have even more doubts mainly due to the gb pushing the vaccines and acting like salesman for big pharma companies .

i will never take these vaccines even if it meant i couldn’t go to the hall as was previously said but the gb have done a big u turn on this now.

but I still feel it’s the closest to the truth than any other.
How about some examples of how Watchtower has it right versus any other religion?

If the 2013 statement qualifies as an apology, then I have an apology of my own for Lloyd Evans.
Lloyd I am sorry you think you can just do whatever you want including illegal activities while pretending you care about the sexually abused. Lloyd I am sorry that most of your JW Watch associates have abandoned you because they have ethics. Lloyd I am sorry you have no skills beyond setting in front of a camera part-time repeating the same things over and over.

To be fair, the governing body at least run a comb through their hair before going on camera.
A few lessons from then Governing Body? And a good bath.
Word is over the last 3 or 4 years he takes a bath every 2 or 3 months. Just don't call that frequently or he will file a lawsuit.
