  "conversation on his life journey" is what you do when someone has made some progression in their life.

  Has Lloyd progressed at all? Developed himself? Done anything positive that would be worth discussing as any kind of post-WTS "journey"?

  He started taking drugs and regularly visiting prostitutes. That's really the extent of his "journey". Oh, and took money off people under false pretences.

  The guy may as well interview someone who keeps stepping on garden rakes, or regularly falls on his face.

  "hey pal, how was the journey ... to the floor?"

  Why is Canada called Canada? Because there’s nobody there. (German joke)

  First, this is why Germans are known for their "sense of humour" (or lack, thereof)

  Second, the real reason is they put letters into a bag and pulled them out randomly one by one, reading them out to get the new country name:

  C, ay?

  N, ay?

  D, ay?

  ... and someone wrote it down.

  Never going to happen, it would effectively mean they relinquish their authority ... which is why it's never going to happen.

  No one who reaches the top gets there because they are earnest, they are there because they sought power and authority, because it's a 100% man-man org just like every other one.

  If 1 day can be a 1000 years, and 1000 years a day, then it could just mean everyone missed it 'cause there was a busy news day.

  I still don’t think he understands how his words and actions can affect his viewers.

  I still don’t think he cares how his words and actions can affect his viewers. His primary, probably his only, concern is "What does Lloyd want to do? What will make Lloyd feel good?"

  God cannot lie

  by psyco in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  the bible does not say that god does not want to lie, but that he cannot lie or it is impossible for god to lie.

  .

  so, if god cannot lie, for what purpose and why did he create creatures (satan, demons, humans) who can lie?.

  If you redefine words to mean something other than what everyone understands them to be, then nothing is ever a lie. But just redefine "lie" to mean, "take a shit", and hey - god can't lie!

  My take:

  Someone with a vested interest in pushing these drugs saw an opportunity to recruit someone with enough of a YouTube audience that it was worth their expense to fund his 'experiment' so he could blab about his wonderful 'experience' to promote their use.

  The drugs are illegal, the person pushing them did not have the legal rights to do so and both they and Lloyd were breaking the law, making them criminals.

  Supposedly, the person who told us that God can't lie ... is God.

  So "trust me, would I lie to you?"

  Sorry, but that instantly screams "scammer" right there.

  "I told my host I wanted to go in deep, and he generously obliged."

  Totally not gay, not gay at all!

  Yeah, I think he wins the crown of most gay looking and gay sounding exJW YouTubers, LOL

  Is this the sexual tampering the WTS did? Stopped him being gay? Is that why he talks about "sexting girls" and visiting prostitutes so much, to try to compensate and convince himself that he's straight?

  I'm sure there are opportunities for drug-addicted rent-boys in Croatia so he doesn't have to be dependent on his shrinking patreons forever.

  So it was Illegal?

  Sure sounds like it. IMO it's just a continuation of his "thrill-seeking" behavior, which I attribute to someone being dead inside. Anything to feel something?

  It's reckless and irresponsible behavior if you're a single person, but when you have a family? Well, he's already shown his disdain for them, so no surprise he doesn't put his responsibility toward them high on his list, certainly not above "things that might make Lloyd feel good".

  He's on the path now, he'll grow bored as the current experiences becomes numb, and move on to something more "exciting" and as long as there's a helpful pusher ready to give him his first hit for free, he'll be keen to accept the offer.
