I’m not sure he will attempt to defend the Thailand trip, because he hasn’t really attempted to defend it so farI sense a burning desire within him to tear down what he considers “Puritanism” and “judgmentalism” within the exJW movement. Particularly the more progressive elements who have come down on him hard, which is precisely whom he quoted John 8:7 at the other day. I’m sure he’ll be intentionally sparse with the details of the Thailand trip, but as I see it, and it is borne out by the leaked email where he casually suggests seeing Zagreb sex workers as a legitimate way forward within his marriage, he’s offended he even feels he needs to legitimise sex work, even in Thailand.
This also applies to his wife, whom he felt still carried remnants of JW taboos on sex. It is clear he was into some things she was not comfortable with and utilising sex workers in order to satisfy those urges was indeed the “fucked up situation” he kept referring to in the livestream. He views his sex worker addiction as not something that needed to be cured, but rather as an integral part of his “sexuality” that has been tampered with.
