Still... it would 'make my day'.

I just hope to see Watchtower collapse soon. People have needed help leaving. They had no support system and almost no friends or even acquaintances to whom to turn. Ten years ago, few psychologists had any clue about what was inside the mind of an awakening JW. The extent of the indoctrination is almost impossible for those who have never been a “subject” of the Organization to comprehend. There are some books on the subject now, and there are online support groups that recognize the cult mentality of Watchtower. Lloyd’s channel looked like an oasis in the desert when I first woke up three years ago,... but I’m glad I kept looking around and didn’t let him be my guide. Sooo glad I didn’t do that.

Yes, who’s stolen someone’s camera, but forgot to steal their hair comb.

NCC, the title on Evans' photo (video cover?), "Warwick, a journey to my former faith", evokes a cring reaction in me. I was a JW because I believed it was the "true religion". It wasn't. My faith was misplaced. But after all we've learned about Evans since last January, the title on that photo, "Warwick, a journey to my former faith", sounds like a lie. It sounds like he's just really good at writing titles that evoke pathos. Was he ever really one of Jehovah's Witnesses? Did he ever really believe ...put faith in,... what Watchtower taught? As it turns out, Watchtower itself is full of hypocrisy, and even at its best, it perverted our faith away from God. But, I now believe Evans' title, "Warwick, a journey to my former faith", is a sham.

Diogenesister said,
Lloyd was taken in by a local man and a historian of the Bible student movement, well known to watchtower. Nothing 'off' there.
Do you know the name of that "local man and a historian of the Bible Student movement" and how I might contact him? I would very much like to speak with someone knowledgeable on the history of the Bible Students movement.

Diogenesister, yes. I see your point. Since Lloyd Evans doesn't claim "to have God on his side", Watchtower sees no threat in him,... even if someone were to clue Watchtower in on who Lloyd Evans is... or thinks he is. (I've come dangerously close to having written a "run-on sentence.)

On the Australian tour, it would have been difficult for Evans to look more unkempt.

Did Evans promote vaccinations?

Newly Enlightened, what do you think of contacting the Croation Consulate in Houston for a copy of the Croatian lawsuit court document?
