So, we've now had several days since three major headlines which our "boy" could've covered if he was really bothered.

Short answer: He doesn’t care.

Long answer: He hasn’t cared since the end of his days on this forum and thought he’d be making bank on the AAWA scam. If one remembers, he got really upset when people told him it was a shitty name (originally “Association of Anti-Watchtower Activists”). He mentally checked out after all of that and blamed the community, and particularly - this forum. The only thing he cares about is himself and feeding his semi-employed lifestyle.

Have to hand it to him though. Think of all the blow-jobs, Star Wars toys and free all-inclusive holidays this community he so loathes has funded him for the past decade. If you have Max (formerly HBO Max), watch The Righteous Gemstones. Jabba the Hutt is a carbon copy of the oldest son of a grifting televangelist family. Dumber than shit, hideous face and figure, and thinks he’s the brains of the whole operation. You don’t even need to watch the whole series if you don’t want to. Watch series 1, episode 1. Pretty much a retelling of the whole Thailand scandal and this dolt’s inability to handle it in an honest and reasonable fashion.

Dr. James Penton - goin' up yonder dirt nap

i saw a post on reddit by "big_routine1112" announcing that james penton died.. well, there's always the resurrec... oh, nevermind.. as always, the person expressing the most profound grief and dismay wins!.

"he was my friend" .

"there will never be another of his ilk".

I put Penton in a class adjacent to Juan Pinecone (he whose name must not be spoken).

Not Juan Pinecone (Affectionately known as Jabba the Hutt). Penton was an academic who actually had his book published (as opposed to being self-published and ~~crowdfunded~~ grifted to the tune of $20,000 from exJWs). One wrote extensively about having “blue balls”, sexual fantasies about “girls” who served him food, getting visible erections during field service with a “shapely” pioneer sister, and climaxing in an MTS School shower. Penton’s book… well, was actually written in a manner that was professional and researched and as I recall, didn’t refer to his penis at all.

I could go on but there’s another thread for that.

I’ve seen that too. It’s pathetic that he thinks he can be the go-to voice for Trump election cope. This is the same guy who thought that suing foreign nationals in a provincial Croatian court was a slam dunk case and tried to ridicule anyone who suggested that non-citizens who exercised their rights of free speech in their own country could be criminally charged under Croatian law.

It his typical vacuous psycho-babble anyway. His primary argument seems to be “don’t worry, Trump will be gone for good in 4 years!”

Well, no shit. He even suggested that presidential terms could be extended to 6 years to extend Trump which demonstrates a huge lack of understanding of the American constitution. Such a move would require a Constitutional amendment - subject to 2/3s majority in Congress and 2/3s of state legislatures, which is simply not happening with close to half of Congress controlled by Democrats. And it is impossible to apply such a Constitutional change to a term already in progress. He really needs to Google what “ex post facto” means in a legal sense.

The man has always been a dolt and the drugs he’s taken has added to his delusional theories. He’d be absolutely slaughtered online should he ever attempt to start a political channel or podcast - which has been one of his longstanding goals to pivot out of JW content.

Edited to add - this is also the same guy who absolutely freaked out about Brexit and invited people telling him to calm down to pay him the difference in his GBP account when pound sterling temporarily dove in the wake of the vote. He also wrote an extensive blog post advocating a new vote on Brexit, citing his and others’ failure to vote as a casus belli for re-voting due to the lack of seriousness him and others placed on the referendum.

If they tried to get her to step aside and she resisted, it would have looked bad for the party to try to sideline a female POC.

Dems painted themselves into a corner by picking Harris for VP in 2020. At Biden’s advanced age they should have seen the high likelihood of him only being able to serve one term, which would leave the VP in a prime position to be the nominee in 2024. In 2020 she was humiliated on the debate stage and didn’t even make it to the first primary. Yet they chose her anyway, and Biden foolishly committed to choosing a “woman of colour” as VP leaving her as the only logical choice.

This series of poor choices for VP goes back to 2008 with Obama choosing Biden in the first place. He had to have known he was a potential successor and it set into motion everything that led to Harris eventually being the 2024 nominee.

American politics are full of poor VP choices - for BOTH parties. Agnew, Shriver, Mondale, Quayle, Gore, Kemp, Lieberman, Cheney, Edwards, Palin, Biden, Ryan, Kaine, Pence, Harris, and Walz - who might be the most head-scratching choice right next to Palin.

The inevitable upcoming book on the campaign complete with insider leaks of info are going to be harsh on the Walz pick and Kamala’s poor judgment leading up to it.

Historian and former JW Jim Penton dies

by slimboyfat in

i don’t know a lot about james penton but i think he deserves a better thread than the one currently on offer.

james penton, who died recently, grew up in a jw family in canada and served as an elder.

unusually for a jw, he studied liberal arts at university and became a history professor.

Las Malvinas son Argentinas

Good summary of his life. I’d add that he spent time in Puerto Rico teaching and spoke Spanish fluently and possibly French as well due to his Canadian nationality.

I remember a passage in his book describing the Rutherford era disdain for marriage before Knorr informally changed it by getting married. There was a discernible pressure to pioneer and remain as one. So when him and his wife got married, many of their JW friends/relatives shunned their wedding in protest and went out in field service instead.

I am struggling to understand the thinking behind promoting Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket. She turned out to be precisely the person her detractors made her out to be. Certainly one of the worst candidates I’ve ever witnessed at this level - worldwide. I’m sure if they opened up the field and chosen at the convention, the consensus candidate would have shined.

She couldn’t and wouldn’t answer any questions and routinely deflected them! She refused to distance herself even partially from Biden whom she knew firsthand his weaknesses. Joe Rogan invited her on his insanely popular podcast and she put forth conditions she knew he’d reject. Her big closing argument? Townhalls with Liz Cheney - at the same time a war in the Middle East was escalating with the attack on Iran. Probably did wonders with Arab and Muslim voters. Did she pick an articulate and popular governor from Pennsylvania who could (would) have helped her win an important state? No - she chose a dumb-fuck governor from Minnesota of all places who wore camo hats, told overly-used American football anecdotes and couldn’t even hold a hunting rifle right.

Trump people - don’t get too cocky. This was an absolutely horrible ticket you ran against.

And this is after yet another attempt to reverse the trend by going on more crowdfunding platforms.

Imagine if instead of getting your customary 2% raise every year, you find out your salary is actually being cut by a few percentage points year after year.

The best Lloyd Evans meltdown video is not the livestream. It will be his “farewell and fuck you” video because he’s simply not making ends meet.

That’s a show I won’t miss.

Can we stop theorising that he’s gay then? He has an abnormally large head perched atop a huge frame with a clown nose. Yet he chooses a bow tie that is small and this emphasises his lack of balance and body awkwardness. A larger bow tie is necessary. The smaller one makes him look the pervert. This imbalance brings unwanted attention to his still prominent double chin.

No self-respecting gay man would ever dress this way considering the body he has to work with.

Not gay. Let’s stop insulting gays by comparing them to Jabba the Hutt.

In other words, any comment or opinion that isn't slavishly and unreservedly supportive of him will fall into the category of 'hateful/judgmental/abusive/invasive.'

He says this all the time because he well knows what his weaknesses are and how people have called him out for this. It’s like an abusive drunkard telling you “well I definitely enjoy adult beverages but I’m careful and drink responsibly!”.

This move back to X is made out of sheer desperation. He hopes he can reach a new audience there and fundraise off of it. As he approaches under 300 patrons, he’s undoubtedly feeling the pinch and wants back into the game. But he had the followers already on his old account and it was a mistake to delete it. Now he needs to start all over and I doubt he’s getting those numbers back anytime soon.

You can always count on Lloyd to make a poor decision and that rash and impulsive decision was one of them. He’ll be making cringe inducing posts and bringing his children in as human shields.
