Very funny, a comedy sketch when sketchy people (like Lloyd) write tell-all books.
Ryan George is great, we watch the Pitch Meeting reviews all the time. The Twilight ones were just hilarious.

"I always wondered why Lloyd walked around with his hands in his pockets, and why our Christmas trees were always bare within days of being decorated"

Was he listed as being in Croatia or still a UK resident. i.e. was it like the AAWA where his filed paper work was not accurate as to his residency?
There are often tax implications for things like this. When did people start talking about his company? Maybe he didn't like the scrutiny.
AFAIK he was in Croatia in 2011 so well prior to any of his other "escapades" happening.

It's not your fault in the slightest Kim, don't worry about it - sorry if I phrased it badly.
But I do think it's someone that's unhappy that people are free to discuss things. Someone is having a little meltdown.
It's glorious :)

You're doing a great job showing off his back-catalog of stupid!

FYI:
I'm sure it's totally coincidental but ever since shortly after the time Kim signed up, when Lloyd started referring to the "green screen lies" and then Tibor appeared to try and derail things, the site has been inundated by someone creating fake accounts. It's not regular spam, as many have specifically included my name and email along with hateful comments targeted at me / the site, they then reverted to trying to make them appear to be regular spam by their use of usernames (even though it clearly isn't). Maybe they got too mad / too drunk and "let slip" the real intention one night? As I said, I can't prove anything specific, I can only point to coincidences. Someone really doesn't like me right now, and I can only think of one person who that might be.
Anyways, I've made a few changes to better control the lunatics and hopefully it's not been impactful while I've been updating things (if IT ever goes well, no one notices). But please keep an eye out for any nutters appearing and DM me if they do.
Many thanks!

This came up when I googled the Croation address on the letter heading he posted on Twitter
That's a deliberately misleading photo, his desk is hidden behind the door and would be visible from the other angle. Sorry, but I'm going to have to ask the Croatian government to imprison you for at least 30 years in order to help future activists.

History repeated: pre-1975 trend of selling homes to ‘downsize’
by LongHairGal in

i saw this thread on reddit.

i think the reason for this is that the 1975 fiasco is never mentioned in the jw religion.

nobody mentioned it to me when i came in the years after.. the problem with this is that all the sad stories were never told (or hushed up) of people who sold off homes, etc.

The person telling you to jump of the cliff is 99.99% responsible for your injuries ...
Sorry, but what? No one genuinely believes any of that!
Claiming the WTS have utter and complete control over everyone's life choices is demonstrably false, and just plays into their hands. This is NOT the message that we want to be telling people.

Yes, I think this is all about putting on a show for his remaining patreon zealots, so he can make out he's the victim in all this (instead of the women he's abused and the people he's bullied and harassed) in order to keep the donations coming in.
He's turned it into a business which is why his primary goal appears to be profit.
I thought of an idea for his next book:
"Prophets to Profits: How to take money from ex-cult survivors"
