Someone to edit videos I hire someone to do the admin and arrange interviews which is what Dijana is doing. So it costs money as I am sure you can all understand and I panicked when I made that message but I’m kind of glad I did post that message because again it’s given us some breathing space. We’ve had about $1000 come through uhm in PayPal donations and again we’ve had 20 added patrons and 12…

What on earth does this mean -If he has to let Tibor, Dijana or both go, it’s YOUR fault and he’s NOT increasing his hours to take over their duties.
“wake up one day and you know there’s just one of two videos going up per month because I’ve had to let people go or Dijana go or both. Uhm I wanted you to have advance notice of what’s happening ”
He also completely invalidated his 220, 280 and 380 Patron goals where he promised to be travelling overseas to film documentaries and conduct interviews. He’s at 404 Patrons now and does not believe he has to keep to the promises made before.

If you are not on Twitter or don't follow the LE Parody there, here's the transcript from a leaked Patrons-only video that came out round the time in January when he was begging for more money. Some pretty interesting info in this, I have transcribed it from the screengrabs in case they are unreadable.
3:16 – 3:58
Uhm we would be short as of the end of January by around 700 Euros and I have a decision to make do I try to approach individuals to see if they’re interested in helping. I did actually do that about a month two months ago and someone very kindly and generously stepped in to help the channel get through the current situation but I view that sort of thing as a sticking plaster solution to a long term issue and the…
4:20 – 5:06
Thankfully many patrons stuck around, they could see through it. They could see it was just purely spite and vindictiveness and lying about who I am as a person and the work that I do and how much I earn, at one point it was said that I earn a six-figure salary which is just completely untrue. I’m obviously still taking legal action to deal with all that because there was a heavy heavy financial loss and quite apart from the financial loss I worked really really hard on my body of work to build you know this resource the channel that…
10:17 – 10:59
…and I realise I’m saying this to those of you who are already pledging so I can’t uhm this is not a request but I’m just kind of managing expectations and letting you know how things are. We really need to get to a minimum of 500 patrons and YouTube members and ideally we need to get back to that 620 who were pledging when we hired Tibor if the channel is going to grow if we get to 500 I think we can break even and we can trundle on month to month. I like to think that we’re gonna be OK…
11:50 – 13:13
…going to go asking for anything I’m too proud. I’m willing to swallow some pride for the sake of the channel and what I don’t want is a situation where those of you who are supporting me wake up one day and you know there’s just one of two videos going up per month because I’ve had to let people go or Dijana go or both. Uhm I wanted you to have advance notice of what’s happening and again I’m incredibly humbled by how many have stepped forward with YouTube memberships with Patreon pledges. Some of you have increased your Patreon pledges. Thank you and I don’t expect all of you by the way, uhm, I don’t in fact, I don’t expect anything as I’ve said in that message. What happens, happens. Uhm, it’s just that to do what we’re doing at the intensity that we’re doing it. Covering all the things that we’re covering, uhm, it needs to be a business, it needs to be something where I can actually hire someone to edit videos I hire someone to do the admin and arrange interviews…

Comprehensive list of all videos Lloyd Evans related for posterity’s sake. Let me know if there is a video missing from this list. This was all done from memory.

5a. Lloyd asks KS/PB to be close to Dijana in his absentia for ThailandThis right here. You can’t insist on privacy when BOTH parties in this marriage voluntarily went to two people who had a working relationship with Lloyd and asked them to intervene. That’s just insane.
7a. Dijana desperately asks KS/PB for help.
This really has to be one of the most dumbshit lawsuits ever filed that wasn’t handwritten by a deranged prisoner with nothing else better to do.

7b. Lloyd sends the infamous email to Dijana bragging about his sexual experiences with Thai girls feeling over the moon for the first time because a young girl touched his leg
I thought that email was in reference to the Texas dates he had set up through a dating app. If this was in relation to his Thailand trip, that makes it even more weird. Consider this: He felt excited and over the moon because young Thai girls he paid for sex touched his leg and seemed to be interested in him? Wasn’t that their job? Is he really this deluded?
He does think 620 patrons is a reachable goal so it was more of a rhetorical question.
Does he think the cash person at McDonald’s is personally interested in him when they say “see you soon, come again” after he picks up his Big Mac?
I think he only wanted her to maintain the married man facade, to look after his children and to be his housekeeper and personal chef
Absolutely. I’d like to add that he wanted them still married because a divorce would have caused a bit of a stir and questions to be asked as to what happened. It was a business decision with an arranged marriage as the ultimate result.

I do believe he got off on this and seemed to take a perverse pleasure in letting other parties know he wasn’t faithful to his wife. This was a plot point on the Wedding Singer movie when Drew Barrymore’s fiancé informs the Adam Sandler character in a club that he has sex with other women for no apparent reason other than to brag about it and make himself seem like a ladies man.
But didn’t all this happen all round the time she caught him in Texas and he came back and demanded an open relationship when confronted about it? I think the timeline to all this matters a lot if we are trying to get round what might have been going on in his head. Here’s what I think is the timeline of events but I am not entirely sure.
Please correct me if I am wrong with that timeline, but it seems to me that 2, 3, and 4 all happen in a quick succession of events shortly before Christmas. If so, it would seem to me that he might have been trying to involve others to convince Dijana to reconsider the open relationship demand?

He still has over 100K followers on YouTube
That’s not an accurate accounting of active subscribers. This forum has a tonne of users but only a small percentage are active. Some have passed away, there are some duplicate accounts but by far the most are people who have moved on. It’s the typical cycle for exJWS. Most don’t spend more than 3-4 years active in the community. Many of Lloyd’s subs are people who have moved on. The views indicate that roughly 1/10th of his total subs are actually active. And views aren’t that accurate either as some click on the video twice or more.

The zeitgeist of the AAWA era was insane. At first everyone loved it and it was such a great intro video that Lloyd produced.
Then Lloyd happened.
I took a back seat on most of that, knowing he’d find a way to fuck it up. It was clear to me that he was holding onto his position as president because he was either promised or was already getting a decent amount of money. If it was a volunteer position, he would have bolted out of there long before he did.
Then he comes back here after his resignation like a wounded animal, taking subtle shots at Bo Juel and blaming him as the main reason for leaving. As it turned out, Bo was at the dinner at Dick Kelly’s home and he called an idea of Lloyd’s “stupid”. English isn’t his first language so it wasn’t as harsh as it might have sounded and Bo made the distinction that the idea was stupid, not Lloyd personally. (I respectfully disagree with Mr Juel)
Lloyd stood up at one point and in tears, demanded an apology. When Bo tried to explain without first offering an apology, Lloyd took his wife and said they were leaving. Lloyd later claimed that Bo was hitting on Dijana. Bo was a ladies man for sure, but as he explained it, he was only being friendly and she wasn’t his type.
Story goes that after Lloyd left, everyone at the AAWA meeting was making fun of him and how much of a petulant child he was being.
Can’t help but think that if Bo was really hitting on Dijana, she might have been better off taking him up on it. The infidelities might have continued but Bo had his own band, his own business and would have actually given her a decent bang for the first time in her life.
