I think he benefitted from targeting a niche where people are strongly invested in the subject emotionally.
You do see some crazy types on social media that you know live on a constant diet of antiJW material, and like any addict they'll pay someone for their fix.
Very sad, and despicable to take advantage of people who have already been victimized in some way (and predatory types know who make the best victims)

As for Lloyd demanding that the IISCA release the database. Would they have even had the legal authority to do that without some protracted drawn out court case?
It's odd that he doesn't seem to understand what the IISCA was there to do. The main purpose was to investigate how institutions failed to protect children in their care. It was not an active investigation into any particular allegation of abuse per se.

But of course we know his reason for asking for something they couldn't provide was purely and simply to make himself look bigger and more important. He certainly wouldn't have been suitable to be given any sensitive information.

I believe he has that power.
It's true.

Most people are usually posting something that they thing is identifiable but really isn't (like "an Elder in our hall had an affair"), and they are posting anonymously anyway.
If someone has taken a comment from here and shared it elsewhere, there isn't a lot I can do about that, but if someone has genuinely posted something that could legitimately become a cause for regret, I can remove or change it.
But we don't do the "I'm leaving now, please delete ALL my posts" thing, as it is unfair to others who have taken part in a discussion.

Do you think Lloyd can change?
By his own admissions he's been unfaithful to his wife for years now, from the start according to his book? And his method of infidelity has escalated. Being a JW didn't control his behavior, neither did leaving, he's not apologetic and seems to actually get a kick out of telling everyone about what he does (especially women).
I don't believe he's capable of change, growth, self-improvement or anything that takes effort and resolve.
He's a man-child, always putting his own impulses first, claiming he can't pay for necessities for his kids while buying himself toys, having no regard for the welfare of his family, and shitting on everyone who contributes their time and money to allowing him to live without doing any real work.
He can't change. He's always been a wanker and he'll be a wanker all his life.
new phone lost my password and cant find a redo spot.
this old ohone works so far.

Don't pay him a penny, for anything. Not worth it, even for shits and giggles.

Loyalty badges? You get a little icon?
I thought NFTs were peak-scam, but he found a way ...
Anyway, I'm starting my own patreon:
Anyone who donates $10 will get an email telling them what a fool they are for giving me $10.
The $50 gets you a phone call to notify you of your foolishness and for every $5 extra I'll throw in some unique profanities.
For the premium platinum idiot level sponsors paying $100 I drive round to your house and punch you in the face.
It's still better that what he's offering!
what i mean by the title of this thread is what has happened to a relative of mine, one who is really upset about this factor:.
this relative is a distant cousin on my mother's side of the family.
she studied as a child and got baptized at 14 1/2 years old.
It's a sad story, but it's not unique to JWs and leaves out the huge factor of parental and personal responsibility.
At some point you grow up and should start thinking about the direction of your life. Many don't and it's easy to drift downstream ...

What kind of idiot owns a domain name and has the email be a gmail account and not the domain itself?
Especially given the nature of correspondence, people being potential victims, it's reckless because it makes it so easy to imitate.
[email protected]? or was it [email protected]? etc...
16 the first appeared, saying, ‘[d]master, your [e]mina has made ten minas more.’ 17 and he said to him, ‘well done, good slave, because you have been faithful in a very little thing, you are to be in authority over ten cities.’ 18 the second came, saying, ‘your [f]mina, [g]master, has made five minas.’ 19 and he said to him also, ‘and you are to be over five cities.’ 20 another came, saying, ‘master, here is your mina, which i kept put away in a handkerchief; 21 for i was afraid of you, because you are an exacting man; you take up what you did not lay down and reap what you did not sow.’ 22 he *said to him, ‘[h]by your own words i will judge you, you worthless slave.
23 then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, i would have collected it with interest?’ 24 then he said to the bystanders, ‘take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.’ 25 and they said to him, ‘master, he has ten minas already.’ 26 i tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.
luke....‘take the mina away from him and give it to the one who has the ten minas.
To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability;
It's funny, because of the caricature of Jews + money, that it mistakes absolute gains with percentage gains.
The one who got two talents gained exactly the same 100% return as the one who got five talents, so if anything the one who received two over-achieved (if he was expected to earn less).
