I wonder if the fees Patreon takes goes up on the smaller pledges or if it is a set amount?

It looks like they take a platform fee which is a percentage (so 10 x $1 vs 1 x $10 would be the same) but they also take a payment processing fee. These are typically around 3% + $0.30c so would be a higher proportion of smaller transactions.

I've seen other patreons that cap the number they allow (ha, imagine Lloyd ever saying "no thanks, no more contributions"? LOL) and they normally have churn / gaps opening at the end of the month. Seems to be how subscriptions are done where people sign-up for a billing month, and apparently it makes sense to join at the start otherwise you pay for a whole month and only get a few days of benefits.

I'm finding this guys videos are really interesting and informative.

Some of the characteristics are really uncanny, he even mentions the kind of "excuses" that this type of person would make for cheating on a spouse, and how they may have a complete lack of morality and fail to see why something is wrong.

Also, they see other people as being useful to them, or deserving of their malice.

It's like he's talking about you-know-who.

Sorry, let's not give Lloyd extra views - not going to host his videos, however cringe and laughable.

There's really no need to post gross and graphic descriptions of sexual acts.

This isn't a Lloyd book.

New JW.Watch Website - Plans, Ideas & Submissions

by Simon in

i want to create a new site to help people leaving the wts.. the idea is that it will be curated content of articles and videos on specific subjects such as how to fade, how to handle family, personal experiences of leaving, mistakes to avoid, plus practical life matters impacted by the wts such as how to create or rebuild a career, planning for retirement, getting counselling, making friends etc.... the idea is that it should be lots of voices to share the love and promote lots of people's channels so it becomes a more effective resource (hopefully there will always be something informative and appealing to the people visiting).. if you have a youtube channel that you would like featured, or maybe have some specific video or series that would suit, i'd be happy to include them.. likewise, if you have a subject you'd like to write about and can share some practical knowledge and guidance on, or have a life-story you'd like to share because your experience could benefit others, please let me know.. i bought a domain and setup some placeholder content:.

Yes, I saw that on Twitter. Nice job on the relaunch!

I found the CSS animations a little intrusive - I hope they cut down on those, I think it would help with readability which should be the main goal.

I found it weird that Lloyd Evans never ask Kim Silvio ,when she was working ,for FREE, for or with him, where she got her law degree, where she graduated...ect... But now, why do he wants to know this, all the sudden? WHY? Must just be me

I've read a few comments about people who Lloyd fell out with and then had him contacting them or their employers. I know when he was causing issues on this site he was all over my own and my wife's linked-in profile.

Why? Who does that? For what purpose other than to build up a little dossier to use to harass someone? What an utter weirdigan.

This is why NO-ONE should ever have anything todo with him. He's dangerously deranged in what he thinks and does. If you don't believe it, try suggesting that some of his behavior has been wrong or that you think he owes some people an apology instead of throwing money at him, and see what happens.

Lucky? That's bullshit! We worked hard together to get this, that's not luck

People save themselves, all anyone else can do to help is to make some information available and share their own experiences, but people should be proud of what they did for themselves.

I think especially if you were born in - you were indoctrinated for most of your life and you still saw through it all!

My only suggestion is that it be mobile friendly. If it were possible to have a phone app with an easy to navigate interface it would go over well.

Yes, it will be all modern, mobile friendly and also work offline like an app (great if you want to read things on a trip for example).

Will the next James Bond be........

by BoogerMan in

.......a disabled black, non-binary, homosexual, transsexual, environmentalist vegan?

.

all bases need to be covered.

Simon

Has to be, they have to shit on everything. Same with Dr Who - they already have some black transgender spin-off apparently, peak BBC

Of course few listen to or watch this BS, because it'll be crap.

No, its purpose isn't to debate which religious interpretation of the bible is right or wrong, that's just going to be fodder for arguments and preaching and turn some people off. So none of that.

It's not intended to tell people to become atheist, stay christian, or become some other type of christian or that the JWs are wrong. It's about helping people make good choices when leaving and providing guidance and experiences from other people who have had to make the same choices.
