I read it this way:

I spent your donations on hookers and holidays. But it’s all your fault for judging me and as a result many people have dropped their support. It’s MY fucking money! I’m suing 7 people I blame for this for saying I make too much. And I will be asking them to pay me thousands for my loss of income.

Now I need another holiday to process everything and understand fully how none of this is my fault. See what you fuckers are doing to my mental health!?

Because I have less support, I am short on cash. One of my remaining supporters has offered to fund my holiday and boy did I take him up on that offer! A blank cheque and you bet your ass I am using it!

As a side effect of this holiday that I needed because of the aforementioned, I haven’t been able to meet any of my Patron promises, nor have I been able to release much content. In fact I am burnt out creatively and am not really into this anymore.

Since you are paying for the videos, I guess I had better create them so you won’t forget to keep paying me. But it’ll take some time to get motivated. As for you people, keep washing those windows, scrubbing those floors and above all, keep those pledges coming. Many of you cannot afford the holiday that I am on but rest assured: I am not paying a cent!

Happy Fucking Christmas!

So he hits a low of 422 on 2 November, gains 5 back and is now at 422 again with a week left in the month.

And he’s thanking new patrons and YT channel members for joining even though he admits he hasn’t been producing much. Huh?

The cherry on top is him telling his patrons he just accepted a gift of a fully paid trip somewhere, giving that as the reason why he’s been “quiet”.

But keep those pledges coming folks. We’re on like the 4th or 5th iteration of Lloyd needing a “recharge” and promising new and better things to come.

All of these promises unkept. Instead he keeps going on holiday on someone else’s expense.

…bit his hand off!

T5: This is slang for someone offering him a free trip. Lloyd being Lloyd and never being able to turn down free money, gladly took up the offer and went somewhere on this person’s expense. When he said he “bit his hand off”, it means he took up the offer and then some. So he is saying he took the entire offer up eagerly and likely went even further and got more out of him such as excursions and other expenses paid for in addition to the flight and hotel.

What a fucking worm. Jabba the Hutt could well afford this trip, but he’s letting someone else pay for it. Tells you everything you need to know about his grift.

This lacks class. No decent person accepts this huge of a gift and comes back for more. The polite thing is to turn it down, but not Lloyd. After all, he had no problem taking the fam to Australia on donations and leaving someone 15K AUD out of pocket.

This is why people need to be warned about him. Thanks Lloyd for providing yet more reason for this thread to continue.

What are realistic predictions for Lloyd in a year or two’s time?

His updated take on The Reluctant Apostate will be finished by then and he’ll attempt a rebrand either through that or with a different book. The part where he loses the lawsuit and is counter sued will be carefully omitted. He’ll still be “seeking justice” for the most dastardly crime since OJ killed his wife and the waiter.

He’s all but given up on all of this generation as he stated in the Aftermath video and holds out fading hope that a new generation of idiots will find Jabba the Hutt fresh and hip. Hence the rap album cover, the dye job and his new “fuck it” attitude.

He’s trying to out Zoomer the Zoomers but is looking more and more like the older guy at the club who can’t get anyone to dance with him.

He had planned on passing off the mantle of the “Lloyd Evans Channel” to a new and unpaid/underpaid host with him remaining as “Producer” and fundraising off his successor’s work. He attempted doing it with his website a few years back and even fundraised off a “handover” video with O’Donnell and Covert Fade.

He excels at making people do all the work and collecting the profit. Until he mouthed off to two volunteers that he banged prostitutes and didn’t give a flying fuck about his wife.

In short, look for a new and rebranded Lloyd Evans once every six months or so. He’ll do everything but what the PR agent he said he would hire would have advised him to do: admit responsibility for misusing funds on hookers in Thailand and fucking off.

He’s not going anywhere. There’s nowhere to go. He’s fucked himself out of what was a highly lucrative gig.

Lloyd has become his dad - unemployed asshole.

He 'broke down' when he was reading the message he wrote about feeling that everything was pointless

He'd make for a poor poker player because I saw that coming from a mile away.

Generally speaking when you are conjuring up an emotional breakdown on camera, one does NOT want to give up the ghost that one is well on the way,

Lloyd: "Uhm, this is going to be hard to read... uhm, because..."

He was priming the pump for tears, because as a psychopath, tears do not come easily and only then when he is speaking about something he himself finds upsetting.

The fact that he visibly struggled for tears over alleged suicidal feelings leads me to believe they weren't even there and that WhatsApp text he was quoting from was in itself a play for attention and sympathy.

If those suicidal feelings were real he would have struggled to STOP the sobbing. Instead he could only manage a few brief bursts and lifted his finger so he could look at how his performance was going down in the live chat.

I can totally see him going back to Thailand and doing a “Return to Thailand” mini-documentary. Nothing pleases a narcissist more than demonstrating everyone how wrong they are. Look for footage with elephants, eating at nice restaurants, scuba diving, beach combing and him “interviewing” locals such as the tour guide about how racist the connection between Thailand and sex tourism is and how much more it has to offer. Also look for the pity piece where he revisits the site of where he supposedly contemplated suicide.

That whole “feeling suicidal in Thailand” angle never felt right to me, especially when you consider how blatant and hurtful his behaviour was before that. He was doing what he wanted! He was there for two months, he wasn’t hiding anything anymore and even made the wife buy him condoms as an exclamation point and an added fuck you. He had the entire exJW community in shock and eager to please him. At 890 patrons he had more than enough to live there for two months and still keep the family in Sisak fed.

Suicide doesn’t fit in with this narrative. I think he threw that in there so everyone would feel sorry for him, encourage him to stay longer and enjoy himself.

He had his wife on the ropes so he thought. In the letter to her he even quoted her as saying that when he returns he would have a home. He was fully enabled and getting away with it. What else could he have wanted?

If the suicidal thoughts were real, they would have occurred AFTER the 12 January 2022 letter where the wife stated she wanted a divorce. Not on New Years when he had still thought he had successfully duped everyone into thinking he needed this for “mental health”.

That is definitely a hotel room.

Also a fresh dye job and a slight reddish tan on his face indicating that he recently had seen some sunlight.

For my Final Jeopardy answer - “What is a Hooker holiday?”.

That would explain why he hasn’t released a video in two weeks. 1.8K views, 189 likes and less than 20 comments.

Doing great, Lloyd. Keep it up.

Edited to add: I found this blog at random. Very interesting read:

This is Lloyd's real problem: he's past his "sell by" date. All he can do is recycle what others are saying.

When he first happened upon this forum, he made a lot out of the fact that he was still technically a JW and under no restrictions other than his meeting attendance being very poor and he didn't work in the ministry. That was his selling point - a fader who was coming to these truths in real time and offering his fresh perspective from the "inside". He would also weaponise this, often repeating his tiring mantra of "as a recently faded JW, I would go back to the Kingdom Hall if I came across you!". His shtick worked so well for him that he drug it out as long as he could, still keeping "John Cedars" as a pseudonym for a couple years, openly worrying about elders discovering his activities, giving updates on his progress getting his wife out, the DA process and Judicial Committee, etc.

Lloyd, this is my business background speaking. Your business model is dead, it's time to go do something else. All you have is leftovers.

At this point all he has to offer is advice coming from a man who was last active in the JWs 13 years ago. This is why he's failing. Like you said, at round 10 or so years you were more or less a WT historian. That's roughly the point he is at right now, and with all these changes with the religion in the works, all he can do is report on it and compare with how he remembered it over 13 years ago. There's a new crop coming out of the organisation who can actually give fresher and more accurate insight into how JWs work than Lloyd can. And several already have, and not coincidentally they have more views than him.

Also shows the outright stupid of his patrons at this point; his page says "I aim to put out an average of 1 or 2 videos per week."

This is not sustainable. What that tells you is that people are largely supporting him based upon reputation alone (really the reputation he wants people to see, not the reality). What kept his business empire growing before were the steady flow of ex JW recruits, many of whom are now finding lesser and lesser content and thus are seeking other creators. It also hurts his YT paid subs since they are directly supporting his work on YT rather than general activism on Patreon.

He's far from being the main show in town as before. In fact he's just a mid level creator at this point. The buzz about his channel is fading and the newbies are being exposed to other creators who are not always asking for your money in the blatant way he does. His monetisation methods are finished as people are discovering that it is possible to make these videos in your spare time.

Happens all the time in the secular YT world. Someone has a nice go, gathers a lot of support and followers, but someone else happens upon the scene with fresh eyes and does a way better job of it and with better enthusiasm.
