Do you see polygamy, as it was practiced by Israel in the Old Testament, as being an “open marriage”?
Well it sure isn't a closed marriage, now is it? As for quoting the bible, thanks for proving my point.

Scripturally, neither the husband nor the wife has the power or right to make theirs an “open marriage”. Scripturally, God created marriage, and he didn’t offer an “open marriage” option. Either marriage mate can forgive the other’s adultery and stay with that mate, but no human has the power to make adultery “not a sin”.
I'm going to disagree with you. The religions created marriage not God. Ancient Israel practiced polygamy for centuries along with any number of other civilizations. Sin is defined as a transgression against divine law, but the problem is nobody has ever been able to spell out what is and what isn't a divine law. If a couple together decide they are okay with an open marriage, then it is between them. It is not the business of any church to decide. That said, the honorable thing to do if either partner decide an open marriage isn't for them is end the marriage or remain faithful.
As for Lloyd in addition to betraying Dijana, he decided his infidelity should include using an industry that is known for trafficking women and minors. That is far more disgusting than simply being unfaithful. What makes this decision even worse is his pretending to be an advocate for the sexually abused. The man simply has no honor.

interesting remark i overheard today.

the physical attendance for the sunday meeting, in my local area, was 10. i tried to find out those on zoom.

Looking at my local KH, the parking lot had about 25% of what it would have had 3 years ago. There is almost no youth going there. If Watchtower closes it, the next closest one is 18 miles away.

Unless the JW guy is PIMO... sometimes that kind of guy is looking for an excuse to get out fully.

Lloyd Evans, bringing a whole new meaning to "Don't squeeze the Charmin" since 2022.

You can have an appeal, but has anyone ever heard of an appeal being upheld?
Only one time have I ever heard of an appeal working.

Atheist churches do exist. Not sure what purpose they would serve as there is only so many times one can say, "God does not exist." They could go over morals, ethics, and human decency. Maybe they sing a song or two. Lloyd Evans is not likely being motivated enough to start that type of venture and he lacks morals, ethics and human decency.

There was also the problem of his wife and he likely was also looking for a place to deposit her and the girls on the mainland whilst he had sex holidays at his island retreat.
This sounds like a budget version of what Jeffrey Epstein did. When you put it this way, Lloyd Evans is more of a creep than I was giving him credit for being.

Although I doubt there’s much of a market for videos of atheists making making insincere interviews with wacky believers.
YouTube is full of videos doing just that. It would be a hard market to corner. I agree that "God's Buffet" is a really dumb title, as it plays off of Watchtower's catch phrase "spiritual food." A title like that once again Lloyd shows that he can't break free of Watchtower's mind control.

If you are a newly-wed husband and your concern is torn jeans, then your focus is all wrong there buddy.
Also, was he not paying attention while they were dating or did he only see her at the Kingdom Hall and on Zoom?
