Watchtower declares itself the owner of each person's "publisher's record card". Watchtower makes it clear that the publisher doesn't own the "publisher's record card" on which Watchtower keeps its record of that person's activity, or lack thereof. (Long before waking up,) I once moved to a far distant location, and I requested that my publisher's record card be transferred to the congregation of the territory to which I had relocated. The Society left my publisher's record card at my previous congregation for (as I recall) over a year, until those elders at my previous location were finished with me. I could "declare myself" the Queen of Sheba, but my standing with Watchtower would still be "mud".

NCC, it finally occurred to me to put my tablet in "desktop" view, and now I have my little notification bell again, back where it belongs. Also, now I can choose "sort by" most recent first when reading the youtube comments under a video. What a relief. Now if we could only help Slimboyfat get his "like" button to work once again.

Then, well done, LMsA. You're a professional journalist....Wait... inspired by Gin & tonic? and by Paul Blart: Mail Cop 2? (I need a 'scratching my head' emoji.)

LMsA, you are too funny. Yes. Sadly, I believe that that is how Evans sees himself.

I found a resume of Evans’ exploits on a site called Fandom. I’m going to save the link to the site to my notepad. For anyone who is a late-arrival to this thread and would like to quickly see what all the hub-bub is about, the resume at this website should serve the purpose of bringing them up to date. I can’t figure out who wrote the resume. https://youtube.fandom.com/wiki/Lloyd_Evans

I should stay better informed. Sorry. I had to Google “Boris Johnson”.
“What is happening to the British government and will Boris Johnson resign? Prime Minister Boris Johnson is battling for survival after a string of scandals created a leadership crisis in the British government. “
Yahoo, 31 minutes ago...

On Mormonism... they seem to have the same “disfellowshipping” mentality as JW’s, i.e., if they stop believing in Mormonism while attending the Mormon college, they will likely loose their funding to finish college there.
From Christian Today,
Mormons could be expelled from Brigham Young University for losing faith
”Students at Brigham Young University who are part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LSD) could face expulsion from the university for "losing faith."...
Levin's campaign questioned the fairness of the BYU's "unique" policy of automatically expelling disaffiliated people and putting the fate of students in the hands of clergy and not university officials.”

Oh, I’ve got an idea for him. Since he likes to imagine himself the expert on exjw activism and worldwide morality, he could apply for a spot on Ted Talks. 👨🏻‍🎓 There, he can lecture on the dangers of belief in God, the virtue of spending money on entrepreneurial and disadvantaged women, and the unreasonable prudishness of limiting marriage to one man with one woman. At the end he can plug his channel.

Maybe the sequel to the Reluctant Apostate will be a children's book? It could have a collection of all the photos Evans' has ever taken of his children and every cute thing they have ever said.
