Maybe Lloyd thought that by saying he was "atheist", he had effectively escaped the confines of all known moral paradigms,... and that he could just start his own "society".
After all, that's what Watchtower did!

Toblerone5, yes! I went to Evans 'taking a break' YouTube video that you posted and, lo and behold, my comment is still there! Here's what I wrote:
4 months ago
Enjoy your break. If you decide to read a book... I think that most children of JW's had "toxic parents". Decades before the internet, and decades before "waking up", reading this book helped me protect my mental health. With this book, I can mentally (if not verbally) defend myself from all the misinformed people's advice. "People can forgive toxic parents, but they should do it at the conclusion—not at the beginning—of their emotional house cleaning.” – "Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life", by Dr. Susan Forward and Craig Buck.
I see now that that book is only two decades old. The book I'd read "decades ago" was actually this one, from 1986...
Women Who Love Too Much

Watchtower trains their elders exceedingly well on how to be hypocrites. (Some elders have woken up, and more are waking up every day. I hope they all wake up.) Those JW children who were raised by a well-trained hypocrite, and those who have been close friends with a well-trained hypocrite have a lot of un-learning to do when they wake up. Watchtower elders are trained in double-speak and double standards. The rules in the Shepherding book are always superseded by any verbally transmitted rules edicted from Headquarters. Lloyd has likely never had a role model with integrity.

I've only ever left Evan's one comment on his channel. I tried just now to find the video where he'd said he was going on a two (or three?) month break for mental health reasons, but I can't find it. Anyway, that's the video where I'd posted my one and only comment to him. I'd actually "believed" him, so in support of him taking a mental health break, I suggested he read the book, 'Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life" by Susan Forward. It's such a good book. And then I began running across stories of the "real" reason he was taking a break. When someone says they are in trouble, we care. We SHOULD care. Why does it surprise Evans that those of us who watched his video saying that he was not well mentally and "cared" about him ...NOW FEEL DUPED?

NonCoinCollector said:
”Truth will always stand up to attacks. Watchtower lacks that truth which is why they always have to invent "new light."”
So, following in Watchtower’s footsteps, Lloyd will also need to keep inventing “new light” in order to stay relevant to his viewers. What will Lloyd’s “new light” be?

Lloyd has just now released a video based on a sent-in recording of a man who was disfelllowshipped from Watchtower. I didn't listen long enough to see whether the recording is recent or is old.

I think someone here already said that Lloyd will probably make videos based on phoned-in stories people have already left (long ago) on his recorder for him. And, did someone here suggest that he start a Croatian food channel? Oh, well. I’m suggesting it if no one else has. He might find a great Croatian chef and cook with him every week. But really, more “activism” against Watchtower,... no, that seems counter-productive after the revelations these past four months. He doesn’t want to analyze doctrines, does he? He doesn’t want to host support groups, does he? Maybe write another book,.. Apostate Can Cook, Living My Best New Life.

So, maybe Evans hasn't filed his court case yet because he's wearing himself out trying to discover "vienne's" address?

JeffT,... true.
I read a story years ago about the Taliban. A group of progressive women met secretly to commiserate about their plight under that oppressive government. In their physical appearance, they were completely “covered”, faces and all. As a group, they gave a video taped interview. One woman laughed somewhere during the interview, and she had a very unique-sounding laugh. Someone who knew her identified her to the Taliban by her laugh. She was tracked down and arrested.

KIMSILVIO, hi back. When you say ...
”the corner of a page that lloyd provided”,
are you referring to the photo of an envelope with the address of a Croatian court? Or, has he also shown the corner of some other page?
I hope you are doing well, Kim. It’s a shame that we didn’t meet under happier circumstances.
