My typo: niche, not nitch.
Slimboyfat, why did Evans soar to prominence?

At the time that Evans began making YouTube videos about Jehovah's Witnesses, there weren't many in that nitch. Do I have that right? I only woke up a little less than four years ago, so I wasn't watching anything exjw ten years ago. And, ten years ago, there weren't many books about waking up from Watchtower, right? So Evans' made videos and wrote a book at just the right time in history so that he "grabbed the wave", and then he rode it, and rode it. But waves, no matter how exhilarating, eventually carry you to the beach and dump you there. (I did my surfing on an inflatable raft,... but that's beside the point.) Apparently, Evans thinks that the waves "owe" him another good riide.
P.S. Hi Kim. Am I to understand that neither Evans' inlaws nor his wife give him a "prostitute allowance"?

I'm just posting because this is page 600. How shallow is that? :)

So,... Lloyd runs after everybody, yelling, "No! No! I didn't mean for you to go check out the Jehovahs Winess forum thread about me. Stop! Come back!"

Does Croatia have job search engines where people post their resumés?
Has Tibor made application through any of those hiring platforms?
Someone posted his real name somewhere on this thread.

DerekMoors, the theoretical “psychology student” would have to write his paper after he has out-lived Evans,... lest he be the target of yet another chase-you-to-the-ends-of-the-earth lawsuit.

DerekMoors, I think what you’ve described is a variation on the “straw man argument” theme, from the study of logic. Either that or a “red herring”. I’m glad that you analyzed it here. I’ve been working on a different conundrum for almost a year. (I won’t try to talk about it “here and now”, because it’s off the subject.) Anyway, it hadn’t occurred to me to liken my issue to a “straw man” or a “red herring” until I read your analysis on what Lloyd did.

Others here have mentioned Barbara Anderson,... always speaking of her with respect and admiration. Through the years she has kept us informed of the progress, and sometimes lack of progress, in getting protection for children, and in getting some measure of justice after-the-fact.
Shyla, the daughter of Kim and Mikey, commented on one of the forums of this site, that she asks the deaf in each locality how they would prefer that she sign the phrase meaning “CSA”. She shows respect for their sensibilities.
Many valiant people have suffered reproach in an effort to give a platform to those who have suffered. They deserve so much better treatment than they have received.
REPORT: “Jehovah’s Witnesses are mentioned many times in the report.)
Title: Child protection in religious organisations and settings – Investigation report, September 2021
From page 27: “PR-A6 was abused by a ministerial servant in the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Peter Stewart, who would quote scripture to her and tell her that Jehovah wanted them to spend time together, and that it was important to be obedient and respect her elders.187”
From page 24: “12. In certain languages, there are no words for rape or sexual abuse, or for sexual organs.159 Clearly, this can make disclosure difficult from a practical perspective.”

Anyone who works with children and does not report child sexual abuse should be prosecuted, the final report of a huge, seven-year inquiry has recommended.
.....
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) was set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal by then Home Secretary Theresa May.
