Not only did he barely know any Croatian and was not qualified in any way to translate, it made no sense for him to be a Director and run the business side of things since most documents are from Croatian to English and a good portion of his clientele couldn’t speak to him.
I love how, in his "about me" back story, he describes how he was distanced from the congregation because of the language and didn't want to be a witness, followed immediately by:
"This elder pulled my wife to one side at the end of one meeting and interrogated her in the back room, asking questions about my behavior and quizzing her as to our business affairs. My wife and I run a small business, and he and others had come up with a theory that I was staying on as a Witness just so I could exploit Witnesses when handing out work."
Sounds exactly like what he was doing and that they saw right through him!

"Those making themselves available for the Ministerial Training School should be motivated by love for their brothers and a desire to serve them rather than a desire for prominence or special status"

I think they need to work on their vetting process.
Also, isn't everyone "senior editor" of their own blog?
I hereby declare myself Lord Chief, um Rabi? Pope? Yeah, King God the Pope of the Forum. Of all the things I'm awesome at, being humble is probably the best.

I'm gonna have to ask you to get ALL the way off my back about it.

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!
