  He doesn't have a job, so regardless of how many paterons he has, he certainly has the time to make the videos he promised.

  He doesn't, because he has nothing of value to say and the market wised up to his regurgitated content. When the content doesn't bring in the views and the $$$, he's got no interest in producing it - it's simply a chore and he has no work ethic.

  Because he knows, despite his claims, that there's nothing really "life saving" in what he does. His "activism" is just an excuse to fundraise. He's a for-profit business, and it was always about the money and financing his lifestyle which mostly consists of putting his feet up or else vacationing at other's expense.

  what good does it do for you to make fun of him? Is that going to help him change?

  I don't care if he changes or not, I don't think he will, but I do care that he continues to be an abusive prick that's too often bullying and taking money off vulnerable people. If ridicule drives him out of the exJW community then it's valuable.

  Even if it doesn't drive him away, it shows he has no power. It shows that people can stand together. If it stops one other person being victimized by that sick bullying pervert then it's worth it.

  They "blocked" me and refuse to apologize. They have empowered local men to harass me at times and now wherever I go on earth there are people who because of the GB/FDS/elder slander will not interact with me

  Sorry, but this is pure hyperbole. Go anywhere on earth and no one has a clue who the GB are or who you are. They certainly don't look at you, and run screaming simply because of whatever GB edict has been passed down. That isn't how it works.

  Newsflash: the only people who can ever shun you are your friends and family. Beyond that, you just have strangers and who cares if a stranger you've never met or talked to continues to not talk to you? In fact, how would they ever know 'not to', unless you tell them?

  All these photoshopped images of him makes me think ...

  ... we could train a Lora for Stable Diffusion so anyone can AI generate Lloyd-style pictures in whatever pose or situation anyone wants.

  Just need a decent collection of images to train it on.

  And obviously PTSD counselling for whoever sees that many pics of him.

  Lloyd stated somewhere that the translation costs were “eye-watering"

  how can you live somewhere/be married to a native speaker almost twenty years and still need a translator?

  Didn't he run a translation business? LOL

  This is a trick he does. Yes, translation costs may be eye-watering ... it doesn't mean he's actually paid for it. But doesn't it sound like he has, and needs money sent to him? His idiot patreons are probably searching down the sofa for whatever money they have left.

  BTW: I'm happy to chip in for the cost of the legal beagle to retrieve the docs if needed.

  Customers being frozen out of their bank accounts for political views is a very worrying trend ...

  yeah, so i know nigel farage is a bit of an abrasive twat.. he no doubt holds views that other people disagree with.. but that doesn't mean his bank can just tell him to sod off and freeze his accounts.. such a thing might go on in commie china or authoritarian russia.

  no doubt hitler closed lots of jewish people's accounts in nazi germany, too.. but the fact that it is happening here, in the yew-kay, is pretty chilling when you consider this country is supposed to champion freedoms, including the one to hold and express varying political views.. this seems to be part of a trend to delegitimise and cancel people who hold certain views.. i remember looking at a yt video of richard dawkins questioning muslim journalist mehdi hassan about his belief in flying horses and muhammad.

  all fair analysis and criticism by dawkins until he suggested that hassan shouldn't be a journalist because of his beliefs.

  "surely they can accept or reject who ever they want"

  No Irish, no Blacks, no Gays. OK?

  It's absolutely disgraceful, but typical behaviour from those on the left - they like to use big business and government to punish people who don't share their political opinions.

  It has to be quashed, it has to be punished. There has to be an example set that it is unacceptable, counter productive, and will be punished.

  Either that, or everyone is free to discriminate against whoever they want for whatever reason they want.

  Put me down for -27 to 480

  I wonder if it would be better to do these on a separate thread for each month?

  e.g. "Lloyd Patreoff August 2023"

  Did anyone really enjoy assemblies?

  the twickenham post made me think of this.

  i have a few jw family members on facebook and being summertime, their pics of the convention have shown up in my fb feed.

  along with their comments about "i wished it would never end" or "what a glorious weekend".

  It was an "adventure" when you were a kid, one of the longest trips you might have been on.

  Sitting on blankets on terraces, often under plastic sheeting as the rain fell, with the echoey voice from a tinny speaker droning on ... nothing better for a good sleep honestly.

  Plus that special "I can't believe it's not chocolate" mint hellas bars to buy!

  The teen+ years are then about talent spotting (I can't complain, I picked up a wife a Maine Road assembly)

  Past that though and they are boring as hell. I can't imagine why adults, especially elderly ones, go to them.

  I distinctly remember the last assembly we went to in Manchester. It was hot as hell and my wife was heavily pregnant at the time. We went for a walk around the concourse to get some air, and found an empty chair she could have a rest on. Immediately, some spotty faced brown-shirt-wannabe attendant trotted up to tell us that the chair was for attendants ONLY. He seemed quite shocked when I told him, very loudly, to Fuck Off!! (pretty sure that echoed round the walk-way, LOL)

  We went home, we never went to another as far as I can remember.

  "It’s like going to a county courthouse in Oklahoma or Saskatchewan and saying you have a defamation case to file against 7 people in 4 different countries, none of them your own, all based on things they said on the internet."

  "all based on things you said on the internet that they repeated and laughed at"
