Barbara Anderson has never before asked for donations nor started a go-fund-me. This is her first time doing this. She and her husband sent their own money to partially cover the travel expenses of a young man who spoke out against Watchtower and CSA at a conference in Poland. His expenses were $2, 300, but he only had $800. Geoffrey Jackson was there in attendance, but quickly left. Here is the link to the story and Barbara Anderson's go-fund-me for the young man who spoke at the conference.

"Something about shunning was brought up and he starts to ramble about when the practice began and other trivial nonsense that no one cared about. Even the interviewer has that "what the hell" look on her face."
Lol. That sounds like a clip that would be fun to watch.

smiddy3, whenever, through the years, a famous evangelical preacher would be exposed as corrupt and immoral, there would be a bit of a reaction from his parishioners. Then would come the repentence, the tears, and the forgiveness from the wife and his congregation. But in Evans' case, there was the exposure of his corription and immorality, and then.... WWHAAT?. No repentence at all. This thread began because of Evans' audacity. I found this thread when it was somewhere around page 200. I felt a kinship with the people on this forum who saw something rotten and were calling "foul". Granted, the individuals here approach the issue from various perspectives. But we know that what Evans' has done is morally unacceptable. Do you, smiddy3, believe that what Evans has done is morally unacceptable?

Please watch this 3 minute video clip from the 2022 OSCE conference. (Recommended by Watchtower Documents, ...Barbara Anderson).

Thanks for clearing that up, Kim. So, I guess Evans would need to mow some lawns to be able to pay for prostitutes without delving into the Patreon funds.

“I don't understand this. He has been living in Croatia for what, about 13 years now, and he still does not know how to speak Croatian? That just seems so...lazy!!!”
Spanish takes about 600 hours to learn versus Croatian at 1,100. Croatian has seven cases while English only has three.
After 13 years in South America, I’d learned Spanish and also had a good start on sign language.
Later, back in the US, I attended a Croatian JW group,... but the “ministerial servant” at that KH told me I would have to obtain any Watchtower through “my own” congregation. The “ministerial servant” didn’t seem to be mean-spirited. I think the “elders” had made that ruling, and enforcing it landed on him. A “worldly person” could have walked in a gotten a Croatian Watchtower, but they wouldn’t let me have one at the literature counter. I‘ve digressed. Yes, with having a Croatian wife and living in Croatia, you’d think that Evans could have learned Croatian in 13 years.

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? :)
