Fisherman: the moral thing to do would be to report abuse accusations to the authorities for investigation.
If JW elders fail to do that, or in any way hint that doing so would bring reproach on the organization, they have committed immorality.

Crime of "insult" warrants the label.
Just because a place is beautiful doesn't mean you can't call it a shithole. I'm sure North Korea is beautiful.

Was this an "elder's school"? How many days long would it have been? Maybe a week long? Probably no more than two weeks long?

Interesting that the only person still defending Lloyd on this forum is someone who’s employed by him and relies on Lloyd’s success for a paycheck.

Let this be a lesson for all of us.
If you or your employer is ever in the middle of a PR crisis, do not make public comment before sitting down and rationally discussing the implications of any public statement. Then, if the crisis seems severe and you’re not sure what to say, say nothing at all and hire a PR Crisis Manager. Then, only then, release statements this 3rd party has vetted.
This whole thing would’ve been far less of a shitstorm if Lloyd had just kept his mouth shut and ignored it for a month.

If anyone is interested, here is a level-headed overview of the whole thing without the speculation or questionable accusations.
FYI: No new information is in this video, it's just a TL;DR of the whole thing.
