  Back then they were both JW. so I don't think he was thinking ...

  I wouldn't be so sure - early on he was cheating on his wife by sexting others.

  In fact he was "misbehaving" even before he was married. Which is what make his claim that the WTS "tampered with him" so bizarre - it's not like he ever lived by JW rules.

  He's always been a fraud, whatever life he's pretended to be living.

  Knowing his penchant for always admitting to lesser crimes, it’s a safe bet he had carried on several online relationships which did not end when he got married. Nor was it just two times his wife caught him.

  So this behaviour has been going on ever since they were married in 2007. At some point he graduated from cybersexting to prostitutes.

  Yeah, I don't believe that "every 2-3 months for 4 years" claim, it wouldn't surprise me if he hasn't been doing it all the time, even as a JW.

  Nothing in his book will be "the truth", it will be some scaled back version so as not to sound too bad.

  Reality will likely be far more shocking than anything he admits.

  How is it right wing?

  If you question any narrative and show any independent thought, you're now immediately classed as a nazi.

  The old clunky software doesn't help - when I get chance I'll finish modernizing things so it's more modern and up-to-date.

  But ultimately, people can read and join whatever community they like and having more alternatives is more valuable than one.

  The concept of "leaving" Twitter is silly.

  Same with advertisers. The point of them advertising in the first place is to benefit themselves. So "withdrawing their advertising" is surely removing that benefit and hurting themselves? Well played fools, well played.

  Same deal with economic sanctions - the trade deals were mutually beneficial, that's the point of trade. So whatever harm you do to the other country you do equally to yourselves too.

  It's idiot policies for optics. Virtue signalling at the corporate and global level.

  Companies and agencies infested with left wing ideologues.

  Picture the scene at Twitter HQ:

  Elon is sat at his desk, scanning the computer, a worried look on his face.

  "No", he whispers.

  "No, no no no no NOOOOO!!" he ends with a shout.

  His assistant rushes in.

  "What happened?"

  "He ... he left", Elon says in a dejected voice.

  "Who left?" his assistant questions.

  "We lost the mighty Lloyd Evans, what are we going to do now?"

  "Yeah, losing that $0 a month is gonna sure hurt" says the assistant, as Elon can't keep up the charade and bursts into laughter.

  The multi-billionaire who runs Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter laughs at how important the guy with a handful of followers who barely gets any likes thinks he is.

  Why is Lloyd so bent on Kim proving her lawyer status?

  It's a meaningless distraction to divert the spotlight away from the real issue which is his poor behavior.

  Like in "A few Good Men", he's hoping that the mere appearance of something wrong will undermine all claims made.

  It's what he does, what he's always done - try to find something, anything, however insignificant so he can then say "ah ha, see, it's LIES, it's ALL LIES". Of course it isn't, but he's easily convinced, especially by himself.

  And really, even if Kim was never ever a lawyer ... what the fuck would that have to do with the price of milk? (that's a UK expression, to highlight how one thing has no bearing on another).

  But I have no reason to question anything she says and many many reasons not to believe anything that comes out of his fat hairy gob.

  I think people miss the point of charging for Twitter.

  There is an element of it removing the "esteem" of having a verified checkmark, although honestly I've never put much weight by it personally.

  And yes, many of the people objecting at having to pay $8 a month are really annoyed that YOU will be able to get what they had, for only $8 a month.

  But the main thing is bots. You could easily run tens of thousands of bots and not only doesn't it cost you anything it costs the company. Having a charge changes the equation. It's why the future will be micro-transactions for sending email and using other services.

  And just like all the threats that people make about "moving to Canada" after every election or judicial decision, the reality is the majority of people are all talk and will pony up the money.

  Wow! I almost couldn't buy toys for my kids because of the defamation but I can buy them for myself as collectors items?... Bruh!!! Talk about a what the heck moment

  This is why I think Lloyd is missing a few marbles. He's not just *not* smart, he's actually dumb.

  It seems like he invents some narrative and the minute he's come up with it the first sucker is himself. he actually seems to believe his claims, and acts as though it's real. Posts things publicly and then moves on to his next incident with no thought that the stories have to be consistent.

  So he flips from "me so poor, kids so hungry" to make a point about how unfair it is that people are not sending him the free monies, to "look at me, the big man, flashing cash on silly adult toys!". No self awareness that he's a) stupid with money and b) exposing himself as a blatant liar.

  As for the court stuff: his issue will always be that he has no business or legitimate income to harm. Begging online is not a job. Soliciting donations isn't earning money. It's all contingent on people's good will and his reputation and he blew that to pieces all on his own. He doesn't have any right to expect people to donate to him. The fact that he set himself up to rely on that for "income" and at the same time took it so for granted that he believed he could behave so despicably, in a way that would offend most reasonable people, goes back to his complete lack of self awareness.

  2. experiences

  a simple " me" if you dont want to say more--or a short explanation about who is shunning you and how long has this been going on.. i'll set the ball rolling: my daughter--her husband and children; my younger son --no contact from them for 40 years...because i left their religion.. (edit--i just noticed the typo in the header--if should be of ).

  2. friends

  anyone who works with children and does not report child sexual abuse should be prosecuted, the final report of a huge, seven-year inquiry has recommended.. this could be huge for elders in the uk.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63318342.

  Also important is that those it's reported to take proper action, otherwise it's not really going to make any difference.

  Too much horrific child abuse by grooming gangs has been ignored by authorities and local councils. Anyone who did should be prosecuted. At the very least, they should lose their jobs.
