”t's been pointed out before, and his worth mentioning again, a person who is watching anti-watchtower You Tubes is already on their way out, even if they don't know it.“
That was true of my experience. Before waking up, I’d been aware of the existence of “apostate” forums. But I didn’t linger on those forums, because that would be “wrong”. Fast forward to August 2018. I wanted “friends”, but not JW condescension. I read Ray Franz’ books. By January 2019, I was avidly searching the web and YouTube to discover the world of exjws.
JeffT, I admire that you and your wife did research when waking up together from Watchtower. My awakening was less impressive than yours from an “erudite” perspective. But however it is precipitated, when the awakening happens, it HAPPENS,.. like a tempest striking. So, yes, I agree,... people watching anti-Watchtower YouTubes are already on their way out. How wonderful that we have found freedom, whatever our age or our material circumstances.

Some of the people who funded that American book tour of Evans probably feel repulsed now by the memory of that time in their lives and their generosity toward him.

“Anyway, his ego is what got us here to this point.”
Yes, you got that right. Evans’ massive ego is what got us here. Now, he is only a “warning example” of what “not to do” with an ego.

Diogenesister, I'm so pleased that you were as impressed with it as I was. Yes, would you go ahead and make a new thread for it? That seems to be in agreement with Barbara Anderson's wishes.

nibbled, I posted two comments in succession on page 604. In the second comment, I copied a portion of Barbara Anderson's go-fund-me page and pasted it as a comment into this forum. As you can see, in that second comment, I clearly stated: "This message is in the go-fund-me page".

"Vintage-
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."

Vintage-
"This message is in the go-fund-me page:
You're supporting Our Delegate v. Watchtower at OSCE 2022, Warsaw

Your donation will benefit Barbara Anderson"

On page 606, Barbara Anderson posted a comment. I responded with a screenshot of the go-fund-me page from which I had copied.

After my post, you wrote:
nibbled-

"Hi @vintage I'm in technology design. That's just a "feature" of the GoFundMe.com website design. You cannot designate a different person than whose account the funds are going into for transparency."

I then wrote, "Yes, that is true. Why are you telling "me" this?"

You answered, "vintage, I'm telling "you" this because of your post saying it "benefits" Barbara Anderson. (Smiley face emoji.)

nibbled-
In one of my comments, I did a copy-and-paste of a portion of Barbara Anderson's go-fund-me page.

Yes, that is true. Why are you telling "me" this?

In Lloyd's comments and body language after the BBC interview, he seems to be on a high, as though he thought that his interview had been a huge success. The lady who did the interview had looked frustrated and stymied. She'd asked questions to find out why Evans had been disfellowshipped, but he gave cookie-cutter, generalized answers. She probably was thinking, "I might as well have stayed at the beauty shop and gotten a pedicure, too. Now, to figure out how to rebuild my ratings."
