Then there’s all that claptrap about a mean elder named “Geoffrey” in the Bramham cong. who had a hard on for Lloyd. Little of any of what Lloyd published about that made sense. It was essentially a personality conflict (with Lloyd - surprise!) with Lloyd making a list (sound familiar?) of Geoffrey’s mean traits.
Sounds like yet another elder pissing contest we all have witnessed until Lloyd stated that UK Bethel got involved. Huh? For something like this, the CO solves without Bethel input. They purposely stay away from these kinds of petty disputes.
Not only does “Bethel” come down against Lloyd, but he is stripped of all his responsibilities as an elder, yet remained one.
All because him and Geoffrey did not get on and Lloyd made a list? Doesn’t sound petty to me.
Round the same time the wife finds out he has been sexting again. Then in a curious sequence of events, the wife demands he come clean to the elders. Lloyd disagrees and knowing a bit about how their relationship worked, the only way that I can see that Lloyd would adhere to her terms would be if she threatened to leave him. Perhaps even having the ticket ready and having her shit packed and ready.
So both of them sit on the information for months and arrange for a transfer back to Daddy’s congregation. Lloyd slips a letter of confession and resignation as an elder under a Wilmslow elder’s door and thinks the matter is settled.
For someone who prides himself on knowledge of WT inside and out, this is astoundingly ignorant. A JC is set up. You know that and I know that.
Leaving such a letter indicates a hastiness to get out of town and quick.
What if the sexting incident Dijana discovered and the trouble with “Geoffrey” were somehow related? Whatever happened with Geoffrey wasn’t just a case of personality conflicts. Something happened. Perhaps another matter of sexual malfeasance.
