I have seen some situations where exjw’s have called lloyd names, harshly criticized him, made fun of him etc.
When I heard you were coming forward, a rush of emotions came across me so much I had to sit down and contemplate what was about to happen. I didn’t know you but I knew Lloyd. I knew he’d unleash hell on you, not so much directly but by proxy. Twitter and Reddit were his backyard and they were ready. I can even name at least two whose first impulse was jumping up and defending him that ended up on his litigation list.
February 2022 was brutal. I did the only thing I could do and so I ran interference with these goons who were attacking not only you, but CSA survivors like Sarah Davies who were actually being attacked for daring to direct attention to the facts of the matter. I consider that the saddest time ever to have been an exJW seeing how these vulnerable people were being attacked with his tacit approval.
You held the line. We held the line. It was finally working. You likely did the same as everyone else did and that was to check his Patrons. Down to 800.. wow. 750.. 700. Happened in a matter of weeks. I remember seeing the 1 March 2022 numbers and thinking the clock was finally ticking on Lloyd Evans. It was literally the only way to measure which way the wind was blowing.
I’ll never forget what you did. The way you composed yourself in the face of a non-stop barrage of insults, threats and negativity. You had better believe he was orchestrating it in a bid to get you to stop talking and disappear.
I DO NOT like to draw comparisons between peoples behaviour and the borg however in this instance it’s appropriate.
I understand the JW analogy but I think it’s a little bit off. JWs and their GB don’t follow you and harass once you’re gone. Lloyd is David Miscavige and his Cedarites are Scientology. Like Miscavige, Lloyd enjoys his luxury and if he had the means I can see him living on a cruise ship with homes in just about every port. He’s ruthless and hell-bent on revenge and frivolous lawsuits. His followers will hound you all over the internet. At least, they did. You’ll get a stray Cedarite here and there but it is fleeting and they won’t stay long to argue.
I think Lloyd knows the clock is ticking on him. We now know for a fact that his plea for money was conjured up, but why did he do it other than the quick rush of satisfaction when he got the $1000 and the 20 patrons? It was a last ditch effort to save Tibor. It’s getting to the point where this business of his can only support him, Dijana and the girls at separate residences, but Tibor and Ramacro are becoming costs he’s not used to taking this close to the chest. They’ll probably be gone at 380 patrons, and will definitely be gone if he gets to 350.
One of my favourite movies is Der Untergang, the German movie about the last days of Hitler. Just a sad shell of a man who’s been defeated, blaming everyone else but himself. Everyone failed or betrayed him. Up to the very end he’s issuing orders to retake the oil fields in Romania and his generals just look at him and nod, their troops being nowhere near or ready for such an operation. A lot like the request for 620 patrons. He commands phantom armies and thinks Steiner is going to defeat the Red Army with SS recruits. Lloyd reminds me of that. If he didn’t have the history of bullying and being such a merciless c$nt then it would be an absolutely sad sight to see.
I must confess though that I am enjoying every minute of “The Downfall”. We still have a few more meltdowns to experience, but if we are going by the timeline of that movie, we’re at the part where Hitler is incensed that no one told him that the Soviets were only 3 kilometers from the Chancellery.
