That would leave Marc and Cora Latham as the easiest target since they live in England.

I don't think anyone has any cause for concern. Everything said about him he told the world himself OR were accusations someone else made that people reported on and, quite rightly, passed on to the police.

He has nothing but a track record of being willing to bully people and is still puzzled that his tried and trusted approach to silencing people has now ceased to be effective.

People spoke up, everyone has swapped stories and now he can't pick people off one-by-one anymore.

We all stand together. It's how you deal with bullies.

if he can’t sue them, he’s not realistically getting to anyone else.

Exactly. But for him, it's even worse than that and he didn't think through all the implications before he opened his mouth and started making threats.

Going back to his arrogant stupidity where he's got away with being a loud-mouth and shouting everyone down, thinking he can re-write copyright laws and so on, as a way of silencing critics. He probably thought some sabre rattling would make everyone run in fear and then use that as "evidence" of his righteousness. It appears to be the pattern he's used in the past and he even resorted to it after the Andrew Gold interview. It's his goto MO.

But he's publicly tied his claim that certain rumours about him are untrue to his insistence that he will prove it in court. So what happens if he doesn't? What happens if he doesn't even try? When no lawsuits materialize?

What are people to then think of those allegations that he claimed were so false?

What do you generally think of something when someone is accused of something serious and they never clearly deny it, they threaten to sue over it but then fail to see it through?

Tick-tock Lloyd, judgement day will keep approaching.

As for the London trip, I think it is possible that he’s seeing lawyers to initiate civil proceedings.

I doubt it.

You don't go from hiring literally THE closest lawyer down the dirt-track to some international engagement in London. He's a cheap-ass remember! There is no way on earth he can afford libel proceedings in the UK against multiple people all round the world, especially at London rates.

He'll probably be doing a tour to shake down and squeeze donations out of anyone still loyal enough, and to probably find someone to cheat on his wife with.

Remember - his family are convenient props when he wants to complain about the effect of criticism and to fundraise, but they are there to be abandoned when he wants something else.

That something else always appears to be money and sex.

He should really come with a health warning, maybe he could get a new T-Shirt printed? Something like "Warning, I sleep with Thai hookers, get checked for STDs after use"

We are not saying visiting a prostitute is the same as committing child sex abuse

... it's just that you may effectively be raping a victim of childhood abuse and trafficking.

Statistically, it's almost guaranteed if you sleep with enough prostitutes in certain countries that you will have done just that.

It doesn't matter what she tells you, or how old she is now.

For someone to not understand the connection and why it's completely incompatible makes me think they are either a fool or a liar.

What Does Prayer Actually Do?

by punkofnice in

if you think it works, what is your evidence outside of possible coincidence?.

Simon

Even if you're like me and you believe prayer works, its dangerous to put it into practice to preform medical miracles. Its irresponsible actually.

You should watch the latest Ricky Gervais special on Netflix where he covers exactly this:

"Do the thoughts and prayers if you want, but let's keep doing the Chemo, don't cancel that ... because it's exactly the same as doing just the Chemo."

I'm pretty sure your comment is an admission that you don't really believe prayer works. But at least you are not being dangerously dishonest.

I don't see a connection between paying for sex and child sex abuse.

jojorabbit: you've told us all we need to know about yourself. There is a clear, obvious and documented link. Not only to CSA but to sexual assault and rape in general.

Your apologist mentality if vomit inducing. So fuck off.

It does nothing outside of the mind of the person praying.

Date of Adam's "Creation?

by Slidin Fast in

how do jws resolve these conflicting facts.. 1. no matter how you spin it, bible chronology calculates to circa 4000 bc for adam's creation.

i followed the trail many years ago and that's what it adds up to.. 2. the most cursory investigation of any branch of relevant science puts man's habitation on the earth as hugely earlier than that.

it's now so well-proved that anyone disputing it is guilty of wilful ignorance.

Simon

WT has been stepping back from the 7000 year "creative day" doctrine for many years but bible chronology stubbornly remains out on an ever more dodgy limb.

Good point - the WTS are young-earth creationists wether they like it or not. And the longer they keep at it the more whacky and evidence-denier they will appear.

The only way they can get away from it is to claim the OT is just a story, and not real. But then it's the foundation for more belief built on top and the whole, already laughable, story and belief system comes crashing down.

At some point you can reduce the entire thing to "we just like getting to dress up in suits once in a while, having a sing, and go knocking on doors".

Other than that his personal life, he needs to STFU about. Its non of anyone's business

jojorabbit: it is everyone's business for reasons stated many times already. You don't have to agree, but you don't get to keep repeating a debunked a claim or derail a thread with off-topic comments.

I'm Going To The Olympics!

by Simon in

i can barely believe it.

it's really a dream come true.. the culmination of years of training and hard work.. i'm going to the olympics and i'm going to win multiple gold medals.. i finally figured that if a man can identify as a woman and win a medal, then i can identify as a disabled woman, so i reckon i can absolutely clean up at the special olympics.. it's so liberating being woke..

I finally figured that if a man can identify as a woman and win a medal, then I can identify as a disabled woman, so I reckon I can absolutely clean up at the Special Olympics.

It's so liberating being woke.
