put in your bets as to where you think lard i mean lloyd evans will land after december's drop in his patrons.
in september he started at 457 patrons, did his whiny begging fest and peaked at 478, but then dropped down to 439 at the beginning of october.
as of this moment (nov. 6), he's at 427 paid members.. so, where do you think he'll be on december 2nd?
Ha ha, he thinks Leah Remini is going to come rescue him?
He doesn't realize he's toxic now, and people can't risk their own reputation by being associated with him?
He still hasn't figured out why so many people dropped him after his behavior became public?
What a fucking idiot.
uh oh, looks like the mega thread gave up the ghost, so while i investigate / fix it just continue the discussion here .... it's been a long 9 years lloyd evans / john cedars.
Why even mention a viewer paid for all of it and that he’s more than happy to oblige?!
Lloyd lies all the time about his finances. His trick is convincing these wealthy backers into thinking he’s about to close up shop for good.
These things go together - the first is done to suggest that other people could do similar things and put their hands in their pockets to dig deep for a special donation.
Hey, you might even get a mention if you're enough of a schmuck!
And anyone donating money thinking that it does "something" for the exJW community and acts against the WTS in any way is as much a deluded fool as they were when they were a JW believing they'd be immortal.
All they did was drop a t ... you're not immortal, now you're just immoral (yes, I'm judging anyone who enables behavior such as his).
here in america, we have a tradition to set aside one day to be especially grateful.
that day is today.
the psychological benifits of being grateful is well known and promoted by business experts, healthcare professionals, secularists, believers ... you name it.
Usually the Yorkshire Puddings ... so good!
Oh, erm, and the family, friends, and dogs too.
But did I mention the Yorkshire Puddings?

Who springs to mind? LOL
i 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 behavior

Also this one, how narcissists often cheat on their partner:

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