She was certainly aware of the flow of cash that has been generating over the years. And the BMW. And the paid holidays. And the 5 star hotel.
A lot of the explanations of her behaviour and why she seems to just shrug off the abuse from Lloyd all these years seem to be centred round her culture. I get it, Croatian culture is patriarchal in nature and the man’s voice carries more weight than the woman’s. Fucked up and you’d think someone who is so tuned into environmental issues and animal rights as she is would stop to think about her rights as a wife, a woman, and a human being, not to mention the protective instinct as a daughter of elderly parents for protect THEM from HIM. That’s a huge disconnect there, especially seeing him regularly threaten them with withholding the grandchildren. Who’s acting like the JW here? And who is acting like the JW WIFE?
My question for her is in what culture is it NOT considered extremely rude and discourteous to accept $15K from strangers halfway round the world for a free & all expense paid holiday? That was just the amount that was not covered by donations.
If a family member pulls out $15K and says they are sending me on holiday, I tell them NO. Thanks but keep your money. Now that’s a family member. If a stranger or “online friend” offers the same, I really protest.
Really, in what culture is this OK? Gypsy? Any Gypsies here? Am I being harsh?
Someone tries to give me a BMW, I insist on paying them, at least something. Am I off-base here?
Wasn't she assisting her husband whilst still in the org doing business with the brothers and sisters, a business that generated some issues?
That’s a good point, especially 10 years ago when his Croatian couldn’t have consisted much more than hello, goodbye and I would like two Big Macs, an extra large fries and large Coke. So in the KH when they were still both attending or at least she was, she HAD to have been the one communicating with the other JWs they were farming the work out to. She also had to have known what they were charging and how much they were profiting on the work of others. And how did the elders catch onto this if someone had not complained to them about their business practices?
I remember when Lloyd was saying on the livestream that his wife did not want to be seen as a victim. Probably because she wasn’t a victim, but rather an active participant.
