Just had a thought…
by Vidiot ini been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….
…dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….
…i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….

They are angry because they wasted their life and can't escape, but you are over the fence and enjoying life on the outside.

Those are spot on in describing Lloyd Evans! I especially liked the second and third one!
I know, right? It's almost like he's a caricature prototypical example that would be invented for use in a text-book. It's uncanny.
That whole “feeling suicidal in Thailand” angle never felt right to me
Me neither, it's just stunningly convenient to press the "mental health!" button as a get-out, and people who weaponize claims to be suicidal are absolute shits IMO, especially when they do it publicly. Early on I read about how to deal with people making suicidal posts on the forum and best practice is usually to remove them because people making them rarely are and are just doing it for attention but they can have a very real and negative effect on people who may seriously be contemplating it and suffering in silence.

Also love the drawing ...😁
Yeah, nailed it!
I came across these ... made me think of "someone" but interestingly it explains how narcissists often like to:
1. Play the victim
2. Exhibit childlike behavior
3. Seek sensations, often through risky behaviorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-u16myH4WU
Also this one, how narcissists often cheat on their partner:

This one too - does it sound like he's describing a certain person exactly?!?

Is AI going to change the world?
by Reasonfirst inhad lunch with a friend, whose a lecturer in the accounting dept.
of one of australia's best universities.
he told me he expects to lose his job at some point in the next 5 years, as the accounting dept, will disappear, as all accounting will be done by ai programs, so why teach it.. if his fears are correct, that means that any profession that involves the mind, may one day face the same future.

Ai is great for some things, but it's a long way off even basic intelligence.
Basically, it's still thick as pig-shit.
Unfortunately, so are most people, so they are easily fooled into thinking that some pattern matching is "clever" without realizing that there is zero reasoning happening.

That article is classic Lloyd, like a condensed greatest-hits album:
Complaining that people are accusing him of making money from his "hacktivism" (but only $10k was too much, at the time ... we all know what the real amount ended up being several years later, 10x that!)
Using his family / daughter as a shield against criticism of his actions. I wonder if he'd been regularly diddling hookers at that point? 'cause I don't think his "erm, I'm going to say" numbers were the true numbers.
Insinuating it's all so very bad for his mental health and how he suffers from depression. Note: other people's mental health is never a concern for him when he's bullying and harassing, only ever his own, and only when criticized. Funny how that works, eh?
Threatening to quit doing his "life saving work" ... definitely, and I repeat, not his "money making work" (Greta "how dare you" scowl)
Claiming any critic simply has a JW mindset.
Comparing himself to important exJW writers such as Ray Franz, as though his upcoming book would be anywhere near as impactful.

How were the screenshots of the docs obtained? I saw the one for Cora and another for Jonathan Burger.
I believe these have been obtained from the court filings. i.e. it's what Lloyd has submitted as his claim, or evidence of his claim.
If someone liking a video (not the original creator of the video) is the kind of thing he's including as "evidence" then he's desperate beyond belief, because it's fucking idiotic. The court will see this as wasting their time and process.
This is the kind of thing that gets dismissed with prejudice - where even the lawyers can get in trouble for submitting something they know to be BS.

This is a man who thought that admitting he had been seeing prostitutes for 3-4 years was an effective way to ward off suggestions he had been in Thailand doing just that.
Yeah, this is a man that thought the use of the term "regular" when applied to his use of prostitutes every 2 or 3 months for 4 years was ("I'm going to say") "libellous". You could see his brain-cell inventing the new reality in the middle of the live-stream ... in between his belief that people were hacking his broadcast because he was suddenly without people to work the YouTube levers for him.
You're right - what he does doesn't have to be malice, or cunning, or anything more than a simpleton who's been given a microphone.

All the little pieces were however the main claim (67 pages of toilet paper) were not translated as far as I am aware.
Lloyd seems to be going off the mistaken belief that if someone says something he doesn't like, that somehow must be illegal and if it makes him looks bad, it also must be defamatory. Basically, he's following the "butt-hurt belief" system.
Where he struggles is to then put that into words that won't elicit even more ridicule (why he still hasn't AFAIK, ever been willing to point to anything anyone has said as being specifically defamatory) and why he'll struggle even more to put any of it into words that a court would accept as any kind of reasoned argument.
"but I don't like what they said about me!" isn't a legal strategy. Especially when what they said is what you told them about yourself.
It is comedy gold though!
I would also like to ask the question: Is this website a forum? Where people can express their opinions? Asking for a friend
I hope so (as long as they are within the posting guidelines).
Have you, in your honest opinion or experience, ever seen or had lloyd shut someone/you down, bully, harrass or intimidate them/you? Lloyd seems to be of the opinion, based on his court documents, that he does not do this.
LOL, not hard to find evidence to the contrary. I'm pretty sure I could pull out some threatening emails I've received from him over the years.
