What is the pulse of active JW‘s?

by SouthCentral in

there has been a lot recent small changes that could be considered earth shattering for some… how are the longtime witnesses reacting?.

the typical response has to be thankfulness that jehovah is shedding light and refining them for the end of the world….

the witness, who’s a thinker has to be frustrated with wasting decades… is the lightbulb coming on for more pimi’s?.

I think of my JW brother a lot. Probably more than I should. I do love him but he’ll never leave. The minute I stopped mouthing off about JWs was when he started talking to me again. I suppose that’s fair. If someone were that opposed to my lifestyle and I had to deal with that every time I made contact I’d be that way too. So we are at an arrangement and it works. The only talk about Kingdom Hall adjacent topics is just gossip about old friends, some living and others not.

We spoke on Saturday after a few months. He was once the 30 year old virgin. He pioneered off and on but never was known as someone particularly zealous. This was a dead zone as far as young brothers go. The pioneering BS guaranteed he was broke and dependent upon our parents for support, which also limited his dating options. Finally at age 35 he got married to a sister in her 20s who didn’t have children. She had a lot of health problems that she concealed from him. After an ectopic pregnancy, she had surgery and it was found that both fallopian tubes were bad. I could hear the anguish in his voice and didn’t press it any further.

He was always a bit of a daydreamer. When he had supermodel crushes, he fantasized about how he could convert them and then marry. This bit of news was a bit of a gut punch for him. He has to know deep inside that the JW doctrine severely limited his options and now his punishment is to never produce an heir. I always got the impression that when he spoke of paradise, it was in the fashion an inactive Catholic would speak of heaven. It was this far-off construct. A stand-in for what worldly people think of heaven.

I think many of them know this already. But paradise is all they have left and if there is a chance it can be true, then they just have to keep carrying on. So they do. Many are like birds in a cage. It’s practically impossible to imagine them leaving the cage and figuring out how to live in the wild.

He says he has been offered free accommodation in Zabreb.

This comment has been pinned to his video. It’s vintage Lloyd. After reiterating how “stressful” the entire situation has been on him, he expresses his gratitude for the superchats and other donations. Patreon + YT paid subs have “surged” from 388 to 406 and he says he will keep counting and update everyone as to how much more is coming in - a clear invitation for more people to give him money since he needs a lot more than what he has so far received.

He does mention offers of accommodations but the one he is particularly interested is the “free” apartment in Zagreb. (Rent is Zagreb is €600 to €800). Nothing is for “free” and you get what you pay for. Meaning of course that if it is truly “free”, the place is in very poor shape. I don’t see how a Zagreb landlord is going to allow free accommodation to an English expat. This sounds like hearsay and it’s probably more of a a hole in the wall and not free.

He brings his children into it for a further dosage of emotional manipulation, expressing how happy it would be if he didn’t have to leave. He makes no promises and still says there will be a “black out” period on his channel, thus setting himself up for a period of inactivity. He also promises a future video where he’ll inform everyone where he moved to.

By all indications, he’s staying in Zagreb. He just wants exJWs to pay for it as always. So he’ll find a place and get enough for the first or even second month of rent and go dark for the remaining months of summer. He was never serious about moving back to the UK and getting a second or third job.

Like the previous begging stunts, I think they end up alienating more supporters than they draw in. The previous asks were more for the channel. This one is different as he is asking directly for rent money. When his patrons dip down again, he’ll be back to where he is now, but with a higher rent. Last time they peaked at 360 and went back down to 310. I think 300 is his drop dead point where he really would have to consider finding a job. Every single time he’s has gotten that low, he’s released a begging video.

lol this is pure comedy - better than any of his standup anyway

I’ve been following this trainwreck since it started and this is the most defeated I have ever heard him sound. Even on the other begging videos there was this sly acknowledgment that he’d somehow be bailed out and the channel could continue as before.

At the same time, this is Jabba the Hutt at his most manipulative. On one hand he’s saying “it’s over”, but on the other hand he’s telling his audience “it doesn’t have to be over, not if you fill my coffers like now. Immediately”. It’s not so much patrons he is after this time. $1 or $5 pledges aren’t going to do him shit. He’s after direct donations and he mentioned PayPal yet again.

It is crystal clear his preference is to stay in Zagreb. He says it is his children but more than likely it’s the still relatively lower cost of living. (Side note - he says his children are living in Zagreb which means Dijana has moved out of her parent’s home. Live-in boyfriend? I cannot see her making it on her own there with two kids).

So if you cut through all of the half-truths, lies and manipulations, I believe the reality of it is this:

He’s not moving to the UK. It was never a serious option and he’d be dependent upon someone taking him in. If he can’t afford Zagreb then how the fuck is he going to afford Manchester?

He’s been at a lower than market rate at his flat and the owner is finally telling him no more. He has no savings left after blowing it these past years thinking everything would sort itself out. So he’s looking at a new rental with security deposit and higher rent. He needs cash NOW. Not patrons, though he’d like those to increase as well. So if his followers/cult members want to see him continue, they are going to need to pay him directly. I believe he’ll stay in Zagreb. He’ll get just enough to move.

Lloyd actually has finally acknowledged the truth and he said it himself: the channel is no longer viable.

The party’s really over this time.

JWs can toast now….what’s next

by FFGhost in

so you can see from multiple topics here (& elsewhere), based on gb update #4, jws now have permission to toast.. there’s been a boatload of “xyz is now allowed” over the past couple of years….beards, no ties in field service or at the kh, sister can wear pants at the kh & in field service…... what do you think is next?.

a lot of folks are speculating on birthday celebrations being allowed, and i agree that will eventually come, but i don’t think it is next.

too big of a jump.. heres my guess:.

2: 1914 is finally dropped

What would this even be about anymore? It would be like Scientology throwing out Dianetics.

his kids are probably going to be messed up now with what they have been told from their JW grandparents and now their new step dad.

I doubt he is mentioned much other than them going over there and what they did there. By all indications Dijana seems to be a good parent and her parents aren’t likely to want to bring him up with all things considered. Lloyd can’t help tame his abusive and manipulative nature and they’ll figure it out if the internet doesn’t get to them first. The best she could do for them is to create a stable and nurturing environment and let the chaos and dysfunction that surrounds Jabba the Hutt speak for itself.

I can imagine their primary complaint about their father will be his disinterest in their lives and his obsession with a religion he left years before they were born.

other exJW YouTubers are also writing to these MPs. Wally also said he reaching out to them. Someone like him would be far better to talk to them

You have a forum right here. If you want people to reach out to this MP and warn them about Jabba the Hutt, please provide details and you’ll probably get a few hits. They’d have to vet him if interested, and as we all know, the internet is not kind to him.

Type in “who is Lloyd Evans?” into ChatGPT and it links right to the wikitubia article that I wrote over half of.

I would think if I were this MP, the fact that he is currently suing people in a lawsuit that is not serious in order to silence them would be a major red flag as to this man’s integrity.

WAR begins.

by lastmanstanding in

things are moving right along.

“israel” has gone to war with iran.. who is fooled?.

this is uncle sam, same as in ukraine.. daniel layed out clearly the events of “d day” june 6, 1944 as the “ships of kittim” would sail against the king of the north.

Las Malvinas son Argentinas

This war is done. All that remains to be decided is whether or not that Islamic regime survives and whether it’s the US or Israel that takes out the last nuclear site deep in that mountain. It would rank among the biggest geopolitical blunders ever if Israel didn’t finish the job now.

If I were Iran I’d be running to Trump right now and begging for a deal.

What was funny about that stunt was what that Truth Seeker Atheist guy who lent Jabba the Hutt the canoe said in a YT comment after the Thailand scandal broke. Lloyd didn’t want to wear a life jacket because it made him look goofy but TSA insisted, citing NY law. To be fair, Lloyd looks goofy with or without the life jacket. The leather jacket on the canoe was a horrible stylistic choice too. It made him look even fatter than he already was and his belly notably bulged out the front. And boy did he struggle to fit into that canoe and work the paddle. Probably took it out on a hooker later that night while the family was asleep.

“Another late night meeting with Javier about the documentary, darling! Don’t wait up!”

That scene was supposed to be in the TTATT documentary, but after Ortiz dropped him it is no more. In fact, I think the documentary itself is done for. Last update was in Feb 2022 when they announced they were booting him from the film! So if you donated any money to that project, you pretty much paid for Lloyd’s flight tickets, hotel rooms, lobster dinners and hookers.

Enjoy!

how long before he moves back to the uk and asks his dad for help?

He’s not doing that. Read his book. It’s full of vitriol and tirades against his father, whom he viewed as the strict JW parent who pushed it on his mother who actually was open to questioning some things.

I think he took whatever remained of that earthquake fund that was going to be enough to purchase that home in Istria with his family and instead bought that attic flat in Zagreb. So I suspect that Jabba the Hutt will have enough to make ends meet by continuing his JW videos. He discovered the hard way that it is difficult for YT influencers to stay relevant and he’s really not a thing anymore. He’ll earn enough to eke out his solitary life in Zagreb I reckon. But that’s not what he wanted when he told Andrew Gold he wanted to live on an island in retirement.

Instead he’ll wait until the Croatian pension system kicks in for him and try for one last infusion of money by some sort of retirement fundraiser. He didn’t get Croatian citizenship because he wanted a new passport. He’s more like his father than he’d ever care to acknowledge. Just a sad and old lonely man.
