A downvote? Did someone's finger miss the "like" button?

Now all we need is to get Lloyd's therapist to share how Lloyd justifies everything he's done. The poor therapist probably needs a therapist after each of Lloyd's sessions.

Toblerone5,... that I was a court interpreter?

I remember when, about three years ago, I first watched one of Lloyd's videos. I'd just woken up and had given myself permission to watch "apostate" videos. I read the comments below that video. Lloyd had "told off" someone in the comments for giving him some "constructive criticism". It sounded as though the person genuinely was trying to help Lloyd. It occurred to me that I might be of help by explaining this to Lloyd. But the next comment was from a nice gentleman with a respectable avatar who politely defended the person who had made the "constructive criticism". Well, Lloyd was "all over" that polite gentleman. I cringed. Rather than defend both the polite gentleman and the person who had given the "constructive criticism", I decided that it would be best for me to "move along" and find an "apostate" video maker who was less sensitive to gentle disagreement. I didn't post at that time. Not until last year did I post under one of Lloyd's videos. I suggested he read the book, "Toxic Parents". Within days after posting, I found out the REAL reasons behind his continuing emotional instability. The choices that he has made would create havoc in anyone's life.

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".
