Whew! So glad JWs are still not bringing reproach upon Jehovah by dressing up in their own homes during a worldwide quarantine. Because nothing brings in followers impressed by Jehovah’s people than knowing it’s mandatory to dress like you are attending a 1950s business meeting.

It used to be that the news told you what happened and you made your own opinion on it. Now the news tells you their opinion and you have to decide if it even happened.

Thank you for creating and maintaining this site without a demand, either implicitly or implied, of being compensated for your time and effort by the members of this forum. It’s nice to know that something great can be created and built to last on its own merits, rather than guilt or oblige people to support you so you can drop your secular job. You are a great example to your own children. Bravo!

Someone please justify the 300 million to refugees to me whilst 3.3 million are filing unemployment claims. Keep in mind I am the holder of a Resident Alien card in the US. Go.

How Come we never saw this before????
by Newly Enlightened inoh my goodness!
how come we never thought of this before?
if the israelites had animals to sacrifice to jehovah in the wilderness, then how come their god jehovah had to give them manna so they wouldn't starved to death?.

$350,000,000 of money America doesn’t have earmarked to assist foreign refugees amidst a pandemic inadvertently aided by an open borders policy. 3.3 million Americans are filing unemployment claims. Don’t forget the $25 million for the Kennedy Center! To hell with the Democrats for making the GOP appear sane. I don’t see them sending millions to Jews For Jesus. This would never fly anywhere else on this planet. What a sick joke! -

I’ll find a way to watch it, and it certainly is great to get exposure if the victims aren’t being overly dramatic and sensational about it.
Speaking of which...
My first experience with Lloyd was typical of the many that came after it. First there was a debate about the Malvinas issue which he felt he was the best suited to swat away what he perceived to be a lame shot on goal. I kept engaging him, which as you know he does not like. It was fine until he started blaming me for taking him away from his wife and ruining his marriage because he felt somehow compelled to refute every single point I had made.
What is lost in the shuffle is that a huge part of Lloyd’s schtick is how he is shunned by his father and sister and how his father has never visited his granddaughter. If you go back in his posts in this forum you’ll find a thread where he announces that he had begun writing a book - about 4 years before the eventual release in 2017. In the post he detailed how “unique” of a selling point his book would have in attracting a publisher. He was going to write under his own name and come out with the release of the book as an apostate. He opined that it would bring on a judicial committee for writing the book and disfellowshipping - the precise thing he wanted. He then went on that further editions would be necessary to fill the reader in on his expulsion. In essence, his disfellowshipping was to be used as a publicity stunt to get himself published and produce subsequent editions. Needless to say no publisher was interested and that idea was dropped when he came out with his apostasy voluntarily and self-published by means of crowdfunding. He even refused the lady who set up his first book signing in London a sneak peak at the book without first paying for it and openly wondered if he was going to run out of pens at the signing.
If the disfellowshipping was to be part of a book deal, you had to wonder what exactly Lloyd was giving up by doing so?
Fortunately in the book he provided more details in his relationship with his surviving family members. He was close to his late mum and felt she was more on his level intellectually. His father was referred to as some kind of dunce who couldn’t hold down a regular job. His sister was revealed to have emotional problems. Cited as evidence of this, he relates how she broke down completely when informed by Lloyd that their mum was terminal. It was a cheap shot as anyone who has lost a parent can attest to.
It’s clear that he had little regard for what was left of his family. But we are made to believe that shunning has affected him and his family in the worst way. He just HAD to drag his daughter for a photo op at his father’s door - a door he very well knew would not be opened. He’s more about self-promotion than anything. I can only hope that Leah’s producers can edit his worst tendencies out and stick to a genuine telling of the facts.

Lloyd’s new book
by jwfacts ini see there has already been discussion over lloyd’s new book how to leave the jehovah's witnesses.
this includes discussion around his personality, motives and financial gains.
i have written a foreword for this book, because it is an important topic that has not been covered in such a complete format before.

steve2 - I totally agree. Some have moved on after an incident or two with him; others continue to see a pattern and speak up.
Ruby456 - As someone who has done translation/interpretation work before and is tri-lingual, it is disingenuous to call what he did as “translation” work. He has repeatedly stated in his articles and videos that he is not proficient in the Croatian language and only knows enough to get around. He is/was a proofreader of his wife’s translation work. Anyone with decent writing, grammar and punctuation skills (which would include many on this forum) would be perfectly capable of doing what Lloyd did. From what I understood of their website, he handled the business end of it as a “Director” whilst his wife was “Lead Translator” or something like that. This never made sense to me, since a great majority of their clients would be Croatian speaking people looking for docs to be translated into English. Granted, there will be some English speaking people who would need them into Croatian, but my point is as Director he wasn’t even able to communicate with many of their clients due to the language barrier and his wife undoubtedly had to step in.
ExJW activism actually was a step up for him since by default he would speak in his native tongue, and not have to gauge someone’s level of English proficiency and have his wife step in and interpret. I understand how it is his job now and how he makes a living. However the contention that he could have run a successful translation business in Croatia doesn’t hold water. The success of that venture would depend almost entirely on the work of his wife, not him.

What Is The Most Ridiculous Thing You Have Heard From A Witness?
by minimus ini remember an elder questioning a woman who had admitted to giving and receiving oral sex from her unbelieving mate.
he asked her the most intimate questions which clearly flustered her.
interestingly, she “confessed “ to the elders because her conscience bothered her.

There was a supposed letter going round from a brother who had business dealings with people who worked at the UN. He mustered up the courage to ask a high ranking official there when they were planning on doing away with religion. The official then got upset that Jehovah’s Witnesses had cracked the code about the UN and that their dastardly plans were in danger of being leaked ahead of schedule. He told the brother to not say anything and that is was coming soon.

Has this quote on hatred been true in your experience with JW's?
by Wasanelder Once ini came upon this quote relating to the results of hatred: .
"i imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.
has your hatred of the organization been an effort to avoid dealing with your pain?

You can only be truly free from pain when you hear the word “Jehovah” and it does not mean a thing. The past is prologue.
