THE CROATIAN PARLIAMENT, 2498
legislationonline.org
(The link refuses to post here.)
CRIMINAL CODE, GENERAL PART, TITLE I
BASIC PROVISIONS
(Page 3 of online document)
Criminal Offences Committed Aboard a Croatian Vessel or Aircraft
Article 11
The criminal legislation of the Republic of Croatia shall also apply to anyone who commits a criminal offence aboard a Croatian vessel or aircraft, regardless of the location of the vessel or the aircraft at the time the criminal offence was committed.
Was the scuba diving boat a Croatian vessel? Did the “date” go scuba diving with Evans?

It does have MANY things that can not be found in any other Watchtower publication.

vienne, yes, there’s a secret book for elders. But, in recent years, it has been leaked to the public each time it’s been updated. Recently, a new edition was leaked within days of its publication. Even though the book lays down Watchtower rules, nobody can count on the rules holding when you need for them to hold. Watchtower overrides its own rulebook whenever it finds overruling the book more advantageous to Watchtower.

Shepherd the Flock of God, 2019
Introduction, page 8, #3.
“This publication is copyrighted and confidential. It is issued to each appointed elder. If an elder is deleted for reasons other than moving to another congregation with a favorable recommendation, he should turn over this publication to the Congregation Service Committee to be destroyed, and any electronic copies in his possession should be deleted.”

vienne said:
”Lloyd would be better off 'repenting" and returning to the Witnesses. At least he would have some sort of moral guidance.”
I hope you won’t mind me saying this, vienne, but Watchtower is hypocritical in the moral guidance it gives. They have a “good ol’ boys club” where elders support each other in getting rid of unwanted wives with a minimum of inconvenience. Elders have the Shepherd the Flock rule book; others don’t have it. Elders know all the dirty tricks.

KIMSILVIO, I sent you a private message a few days ago. I'm just now figuring out the software here, ...including that spiffy avatar photography,... but I thought I'd mention my private message to you, in case you didn't know it was there.

In the book quote on Amazon, Evans said: "I had the time and space to figure things out and come to terms with my drastically altered reality knowing that not everything had to change if I did not want it to.” And, having that security, THIS is what he came up with?

Evans spoke glowingly of his wife in 2017.
Lloyd Evans - The Reluctant Apostate, 2017
From his book’s Amazon “look inside” pages:
Introduction, page 22:
“Others sink into depression or even contemplate suicide, since the prospect of living a lie or completely reconfiguring one’s life and relationships can be simply too much to bear.
Thankfully, at least in my own case, reluctance soon gave way to relief, optimism and contentment. I was extremely fortunate to have married a patient, understanding, intelligent woman who also did not appreciate being taken for a fool, and whose love for me outweighed her dismay at my growing unbelief. I knew from the outset that even if everyone else in my life disowned me, my wife’s love for me was there unconditionally so long as I wanted it. I had the time and space to figure things out and come to terms with my drastically altered reality knowing that not everything had to change if I did not want it to.”

TonusOH... in other words, he can face humiliation and loose a lot of money, or just face the humiliation alone and keep his money.
