Slim' is right about the inertia of many patrons.Imagine if there was some sort of massive Patreon data breach and all Patrons either had to re-enter their CC/Debit or create new accounts altogether? Lloyd would make another “urgent” video of course, but he’s not getting his 401 Patrons back. He’d be extremely fortunate to get 300 of them back. I’d say if he had to start over right now, we’re talking about 100-200 re-pledges and that’s after making yet another begging video.
if someone who makes good videos puts out an update on YouTube about the current situation it could be very effective.Take a look at the comments on his “Aftermath” video that was still trickling in and he’s still responding to. Also check out the replies to his comment about the lawsuit on his Community tab on YT. The problem is not that we don’t have contrary info out there about him. It’s also not that people aren’t finding it either. Enter his name into a YT search browser and you’ll see what I mean.
Some people actually believe him when he’s going off about lawsuits and criminal defendants. So someone can make a comprehensive video about all the facts and how ridiculous the lawsuit is, but it’s worth pointing out the mentality of the recently exited and the mentalities of exJWs in general. Like Thomas, they need visual proof. Not commentaries of how this is supposedly going to go.
They think they know Lloyd so he’s given the benefit of the doubt and then some, as many of these comments echo his sentiments precisely about how laws were broken and his tired old trope about “justice being served no matter how long it takes”. The uneducated are suckers for these courtroom dramas on TV where justice prevails and the jury delivers its verdict to deafening applause. That’s the trap Lloyd has set for himself.
So don’t just talk about Christ returning, bring him close to these people’s faces and show them these wounds.
By that I mean the FINAL word on this entire Lloyd Evans defamation claims by means of the dismissal document the Sisak court will issue.
The impact of that verdict would be massive given that he keeps beating that drum. It’s a ticking time bomb of truth that’s going to humiliate him. He’s going to immediately retaliate once it is dismissed, you can count on that. That’s when you go for the kill.
