This to me is a story in waiting. We may never find out but we can tell he's not telling the truth because what he says makes no sense
From my recollection of the video, the JC was for him and as he had purposely made it known locally that he ran an apostate website. In an earlier thread on this forum he stated that he wanted to release his book under his own name and then get DFed as a result. The book was released 3 years later so for some unknown reason he changed his plan.
He brought two letters, one from him in English that simply stated "I am resigning from membership with the Jehovah's Witnesses" and signed/dated it. Hs wife's letter was in Croatian and was about a page long. The elders first refused to take her letter as it was not her hearing and should she wish to have something to tell them she could do it herself. Lloyd insisted they read it which they at length did. However, it was not clear what she wanted as there was a passage that translated as "I don't see myself as a Jehovah's Witness" and the committee made the point that it wasn't necessarily a resignation letter and wanted to meet with the wife on another date alone to clarify. Lloyd got irritated with them and offered to call her on the phone so she could officially resign. He brought up her pregnancy as a reason she could or would not attend.
I think it's curious that he was dead-set against his wife ever attending any hearing with or without him and sought to use a letter of hers to close the matter. Did he pressure her to write the letter? Was he afraid of what testimony his wife would be asked to provide?
