i want to create a new site to help people leaving the wts.. the idea is that it will be curated content of articles and videos on specific subjects such as how to fade, how to handle family, personal experiences of leaving, mistakes to avoid, plus practical life matters impacted by the wts such as how to create or rebuild a career, planning for retirement, getting counselling, making friends etc.... the idea is that it should be lots of voices to share the love and promote lots of people's channels so it becomes a more effective resource (hopefully there will always be something informative and appealing to the people visiting).. if you have a youtube channel that you would like featured, or maybe have some specific video or series that would suit, i'd be happy to include them.. likewise, if you have a subject you'd like to write about and can share some practical knowledge and guidance on, or have a life-story you'd like to share because your experience could benefit others, please let me know.. i bought a domain and setup some placeholder content:.

please message me or post here if you have any questions or ideas..
In my experience everyone; but everyone, makes at least some errors when they write anything lengthy
I don't think my fingers are always fully connected to my brain!
So yeah, if you ever see anything that doesn't make sense or is plain wrong (more on an "article site", no need for every little comment on here) just let me know - thanks :)

Thanks, that would be good - one of the surprising things is that exJWs (and never JWs) often know a whole lot more about the organization than the people loyal to it.
Almost like those things are connected somehow.

Yes, the brain-transplant operation was a complete success. LOL
I'm just trying to help do my bit and encourage more voices and content.
I found a new channel today, love his approach which is about recovery and moving on. I've added a couple of videos to the site:
some sensible advice presented in a rational way.
check out the channel.. a couple of the videos i've watched so far:.

A couple of the videos I've watched so far:
at a certain point, as the years tick by, you start to realize that you have forgotten a lot of things.
typically, something you learned, some knowledge or skill you used to have, that you just haven't used for so long you no longer remember anything but that you once knew it.. i saw an article about electrical resistors the other day, and how the colored bands signify the rating.
now all i remember is that i used to know it, and that resistors do something with, erm, electricity ...
Yeah, unless they were making a rainbow flag with the transistor colors.
what is brazen conduct according to the watchtower?.
here are some references from the new flock book:.
they have really pushed the envelope to bundle a bunch of things into one really evil word.
Note that quote:
"Willful, continued, unnecessary association with disfellowshipped, non-relatives ..."
That is the get out that no-one needs to shun their family. Anyone who does is following a rule that doesn't even exist.

This has been one of the problems in the past when people complained about Lloyd. Some people (understandably)were perceived as being over the top and so it was easy for him to label them as 'crazy' or 'obsessed' etc. I really don't want that to happen again.
One of the "tricks" that certain types of narcissist use is to get people riled up and angry so they can point to it and say "see, they crazy!" ... that's why it's important to try to stay calm, objective, and state facts.
Know that when you do this, it drives them crazy. When someone does a rant video where they are visibly angry, however understandable it may be, it gives them what they want.

Exactly, why do we care!
Maybe they are taking his money and don't want to do much, but if someone starts trashing them online perhaps they will be more inclined to put more effort in. Why encourage them?

I think it's useful to put yourself in the shoes of a 3rd party observer and how things look.
It's tempting to keep escalating claims and negative comments, but if the aim is to best present a case, that isn't always the best strategy.
At some point, there's overreach, and that then is easy to pick up on. It's a technique Lloyd uses over and over, so don't give him the opportunity.
Not that you have to do anything I suggest of course, I'm just sharing my opinion in the hope of helping.

I think it's more about the concept of "Lloyds litigation", not so much the law firm specifically.
Someone who hasn't had a response from them, or calls returned could be justified in leaving a review, although I don't know why anyone would ever complain about the quality or competence of the lawyers representing someone who is threatening to sue them.
