We know he checks the thread because of the green screen chat, he complained about it on Twitter and inadvertently brought even more attention to it. "Hello there", Lloyd, hope your next victim is an Aileen Wuornos or Cyntoia Brown kind of gal

Agreed, ideally one like making license plates or mail sacks, if you catch my drift.

Trying hard to keep this classy, but if his wife is still with him and is allowing this she’s a fucking moron.
I wonder if she's still slightly POMI or still has similar views on divorce and marriage. She'll have been taught by WT that divorce isn't an option (though it is for infidelity, right?) and it's all her fault if her husband mistreats her. Even non-religious women get that message from wider society too, so it's easy to see why a lot stay in relationships with shitty husbands or boyfriends. I hope she wakes up to his bullshit as well as Watchtower's.

Far be it from me to question Lloyd's judgement, but is it wise of him to travel to England when there's an open police investigation into him? Or at least, the Lathams made a report to Gloucestershire police, last I heard. It's not the Met (and they're probably busy doing security for the jubilee and the like) but still, they do talk to each other.

I suppose that answers CoachDeeFree's question about what Lloyd's game is like.

Thanks Nicolaou, I'm doing a lot better than I was. :) As time goes on and I get different treatments my doctors and I learn more about what works and what doesn't (it's so idiosyncratic) and it gets easier.
I suspect Lloyd was a real zealot as a young JW and still would be except they kicked him out. So, not being the kind of person to just go away, he went away mad and turned his energy toward "getting even" with the group that rejected him.
He's said in a few of his videos and his book that he was like a wannabe elder when he was a kid, like the class policeman - even the other JW kids didn't like him because he'd tell on them to the elders. He certainly sounded pretty zealous, or at least, if he wasn't zealous about the doctrine he liked the power trip of enforcing it.

And by the way, if he was so suicidal he wouldn't be picking up Ukrainian women, in fact, the best thing for him to do is go on a break (this time for genuine reasons) and seek professional help asap.
Having struggled with depression and suicidal ideation most of my life and attempted suicide a few times, I take it very seriously, and I'm confident in saying that Lloyd is just baiting to manipulate his audience.
Nobody who's actually contemplating suicide says that other people have made them suicidal, or that if other people don't change their behaviour and do what they want then they'll kill themselves. They don't threaten it or use it to shame other people. He's harming genuine sufferers by doing that, because now people will associate a suicidal person seeking treatment with this narcissistic abuse tactic, and depressed people who already second-guess ourselves will think "am I being like that if I ask for help?"

You got yourself on the path and keep yourself on it. He just had some videos to help, but you did the real work in your own freedom.

Where did he write that? That's such a strange combination of self-awareness and a complete lack thereof.

I'm sure the last thing people fleeing want to see is a YouTuber making a film about them.
Yup. He even says that explicitly in the video (after showing a few short clips of them), that they didn't want to be on camera.
Also the Farms spotted that he used clips from the Azov Battalion's channel - does he know who they are? I'm surprised he's platforming such a far-right group when he's usually pretty centrist and careful to be very clearly antifascist when talking about Watchtower's depictions of the Holocaust and about hate speech.
