The Gold interview was an attempt to outright deny he had seen sex workers in Thailand. Instead he "dated" them. This is direct contradiction to his livestream comments and his lengthy FB statement about him seeing sex workers there.
Yes, we now have Thailand, Croatia and other Countries (plural, so at least 2) that he's seen sex workers by his own admission on tape.
Now I wonder how many trips abroad he's taken alone vs with his family in the last few years? Because it now sounds like he might have been doing it while they were with him which is even more yucky, for them.
"No, daddy can't take you to the beach today, he has to go see a lady ..."
Try to reconcile that with his BS claims about being a dedicated family man that has to miss out on time with his family ... that he makes to raise money.
He can't control himself (his admission), so if you give him money you just enable him to spend time away from his family (although they'll probably see that as a blessing at some point if they don't already).

All is in Croatian, of course.
We haven't even talked about the challenges of bringing court cases in a non-English-speaking court when the whole focus is on what has been said in English. So how does that work?
The pigeon-English in the demand letters already showed up the language challenges and that's simply sending a letter.

So he tries to claim that TTATT didn't want him involved any more only because of what other people have said about his confession video, not the confession video itself. Despite them being very clear in their statement that the decision was based entirely on what Lloyd himself said.
He still doesn't seem to grasp the impact of someone claiming to be an advocate for survivors of CSA engaging with prostitution in high sex-trafficking countries and how utterly incompatible that is. Let alone that no one wants the front-man of their programme to be a sleaze-ball who regularly abandons his wife and kids to go visit prostitutes (and now, we wonder, whether he did it while taking them on trips with him ... ew).
No wonder he deleted the comment. I think we know he hasn't hired any PR help yet because he's still managing to make things worse every time he posts something.
Note too the narcissist trying to blame everyone else: the TTATT for "bowing to pressure" and the guy asking the question of whether Lloyd owes them an apology for the now wasted and the added extra work they now have to do to try to salvage things.
He can't bring himself to acknowledge that he is the one who fucked up, it's all on him, and he DOES owe people some apologies.

Some Jw's are the worst employees

i found a company and employed an elder as an underwriter and two ms as sales and marketing.

anyway, this elder will delegate his work to the ms in sales and marketing, so he can go home early.

he knew when he got started that this would be a 10 hour a day job with some saturday.

Your business model is wrong.
:point_up: This
It's not that your business model is just wrong, you're a garbage employer. If 10 hour days are "the norm" then you can't plan for shit.
Hire more people to work realistic hours.
Are you a JW? If so, you're using your connection to the religion to hire people on the cheap and take advantage of the fact that some people think it's noble or whatever to "support their brothers".
The statistical chance that an elder and 2 MS's happened to be the best people to hire are low to zero.

I heard this was a white-power / white-supremacist gesture ...
Am I doing this "woke" thing right?

WOW! Lloydy Boy is so delusional. Thank you Wally for sharing your conversation
ha ha, that was good, so great that he took screenshots. A perfect demonstration of how Lloyd tries to mislead people.
Caught red-handed. Everyone should capture things he posts in any conversation from now on.

Who among us hasn't dreamt of having complete mastery of their penis. Just thing of how useful an extra controllable appendage would be with DIY projects, woodworking, painting, cooking and other activities.
I'm starting to think mine is beyond hope. I've followed all the courses but I'm forever stuck on the level 1 basics of "aiming mostly for the bowl and how to stop dribbling". But at least it's not booked any trips to Thailand while I wasn't looking.
I've tried praying to Saintly Brandon for guidance to the path to true enlightenment.

I'm pretty sure he posted in a tweet that he HAD hired a law firm.

Q: "Are you a kiddie fiddler?"

Not gonna lie, I've not been put on any list and it feels like I'm being shunned all over again

Something Eerily Familiar about "The Village" Movie.
by Sea Breeze in

even after 17 years i still haven't forgot "the village".

maybe it was because i had just left the wt.

did anyone else feel like you especially identified with this movie as a witness/ex-witness?
Simon

Yeah, the ending is a real jolt and it's suspenseful along the way. You get this sense that things aren't right, everything isn't as it seems, but you don't quite know how.
It's a great movie in its own right but, like The Matrix, has that special "waking up to reality" quality that echoes the experience of leaving the WTS especially if you were brought up in it all your life.
