  You are all abusive!

  Sorry, but that's ... I'm going to say libellous ... so I'm going to have to add you to the lawsuit.

  LOL

  Lloydy Boy's letters are asking everyone to send funds directly to his bank

  That would be very odd indeed, but how do we know that is his bank and not the lawyers?

  Why did he confide in Kim Silvio? What was he hoping to achieve?

  I don't think he really confided in anyone as such, my understanding is that he got caught and someone else (I presume his wife) told Kim. His admitting it to Kim was then an attempt at controlling her to prevent her from making it public or confirm it to anyone else. That's what I pieced together from statements by those involved.

  Of course given the nature of what he claims to advocate for, and the fact that he's taking money off people supposedly for this "work", people absolutely had a right to know.

  Can you imaging a CSA survivor finding out that someone they supported was potentially contributing to the sexual abuse of "girls" (the word he repeatedly used)? Anyone who is engaging the services of prostitutes anywhere it is illegal but especially in places know for major issues with sex-tourism and human trafficking has to know they could be seen to be contributing to abuse and lack all credibility if they claim they "care deeply" about victims. It's a massive conflict of interest.

  It was absolutely right to expose this hypocritical grifter instead of allowing him to continue taking money off people and bullying other advocates out of the space.

  Can you imagine the sinking feeling in your stomach even if you still thought of yourself as a JW?

  Going back to the office can be bad enough, but having to go in person and sit through those meetings. I can only imaging how soul destroying it will be.

  Imagine the kids who have escaped it for the last 2 years suddenly being dragged back to a KH?

  And the crazy thing is that all people have to do to stop subjecting their family to that torture is to simply stop going.

  Apparently he's becoming famous beyond the circle of the exJW community:

  Sorry, dd I say famous? I meant infamous.

  Good luck putting this toothpaste back in the bottle. Good luck suing the entire internet.

  I'm still amazed how he seems to consider any comments about him that aren't full-on suck-up adulation as effectively being "bullying", "harassment" and, of course his favourite word-of-the-week right now, "libellous"!

  You can see from his ultra-sanitized YouTube comments, the one's he's left, that his threshold appears to be set to "maximum sensitivity". He even talks about "having to remove hateful comments" but the examples I've seen him point to really are are the mildest things ever.

  He was always like this, but seems to have amped it up to a new lever and completely lost the plot to be demonstrating it to everyone so blatantly. Maybe he's desperate, maybe he's got bills to pay and if the income dries up things come due? One can only hope it impacts him hard given what he's trying to put other people through with his nonsense legal shenanigans.

  "you don't love me, therefore you hate me! Waaaaa"

  Just think, with a bit more foresight and imagination they could have been Marvel.

  Instead, they were just batshit.

  Well if a man who can stick tea-spoons to his chest isn't the messiah, I don't know who is.

  As it says in Jebediabob 16:38 - "Do not put your trust in false messiahs, for you shall try to stick your spoon to them but when the time comes to make a cup of tea, it shall no longer be found."

  The only difference between some lone 'nut' and a large organized religion, is one was lucky to happen to be in the right place at the right time and caught on. A century later, they have millions of followers but fundamentally it's the same nonsense, one isn't more inspired or correct or wrong than the other. As long as you reach a certain size, it becomes pretty self-sustaining unless the leadership really messes up.

  Leave it a millennium and you may have grown to billions of followers. Same shit, more bureaucracy built up around it. More tentacles into government and society to feed itself.

  What if you don't really have a case and just want to shake the tree in the hope that some money falls out?

  Oh, wait ...

  Notice they don't point to anything specific, but they want a blanket statement saying everything is untrue, and anything negative about Mr ButtHurt be scrubbed from view.

  That's a legal Hail Mary legal letter if ever there was one!

  I hope he tells them to shove it ...
