Apparently Lloyd keeps forgetting, too. Lol.

Your explanation sounds completely logical to me, Kim. Our heads were reeling when we realized that WT was a farce. It was a little like the scene in the movie Poseidon where one group followed a leader in one direction and they passed by another leader and his group going in the opposite direction,... all trying to escape.

Seriously, Kim, one Croatian sister in the group was a court interpreter. I took the test and became a court interpreter soon after I met her,... only I interpreted Spanish-English.

Charlotte Angel is a cockatiel?

Nice non-threatening choice for your avatar.

About ten years ago, in order to evade capture by my local elders, I attended a JW Croation group. This was before I woke up. Sadly, I don't know if any of my Croatian friends have woke up. Otherwise, I would offer them to you as interpreters, Kim. Also, it's a shame that I didn't keep the contact information for all the Croatians I met while preaching who absolutely can't stand JW's. Some of them would surely be glad to help with translation to the Sisak Court. (Once, a Croatian sister "set me up", sending me to a door alone where a violently opposed Croatian woman lived. SMH.)

I haven't read "everything" about Lloyd and/or wriiten by Lloyd, but...
from what I know of him, he's never publicly expressed sympathy or empathy toward Dijana for her experiences with Watchtower. She had JW parents. She was a pioneer. She gave her "all" to Watchtower, and her beliefs were formed by lies from Watchtower and its "Governing Body". If a loving and mature (not selfish and childish) husband who had himself NEVER BEEN one of Jehovah's Witnesses had a wife from that background, he would be going out of his way to make her feel, in her present life with him, warm, safe, loved, and valued. But with Lloyd, it's "all about him".

Page 715. We'll probably make it to 1000 pages. We are an interesting group of people, but it's really LE's unintentional contributions via cyberspace, and hence to this forum, that gets all the credit for its longevity.

Thanks for this quote, LMsA...
."...that I loved her and wanted to be with her, but I was fighting powerful inner urges and needed help"
Has he gone to talk with a legitimate psychologist or psychiatrist? So many narcissists "string along" their empathetic victims by giving them glimmers of hope that they will change. The narcissist sees his victim as a fool. The love and forgiveness that the victim gives her narcissistic husband is seen by the narcissist as something he completely deserves. When the victim decides she is wasting her love on a person who has no appreciation of her and is just "using" her, ... that's when the narcissist gets REALLY mad.

He probably can't afford Texas cowgirls right now. Too expensive and too feisty. Also, didn't he say he has a bad back? Shame on you LE, when you have a beautiful wife at home.

That's appalling, isn't itt, Ray? He seems to delight in being turned to as a "port in the storm". This is just too insane.
