He say then : I'm gonna say...2 or 3 months in between...
His "I'm gonna say" was the equivalent of when a Dr asks you how many units of alcohol you drink a week. Everyone thinks "shit, I can't tell the truth, what was the limit again? I need to be somewhere close to that at least".
That was his "thinking" before he answered. If you are visiting prostitutes so regularly for such an extended period of time, I suspect you know exactly how often you're doing it without having to think.
Especially as that was the whole subject of the video in the first place.
If a Dr arranges an appointment and says "we'll talk about your alcohol consumption" there is no way you don't mentally prepare and know the answers before hand.
But the whole thing was an act, that's why he kept pausing the performance when "Mr YouTuber" couldn't work a video feed.

He immediately labels his survey as some sort of public service to the forum
His surveys were never anything but complete bullshit. Anyone who believes that you can take an accurate measure of how current JWs are feeling via an apostate website is off their head.
But it wasn't about the survey, it was about an opportunity to claim that something was costing money that he wanted donations for.
Some "worthy cause" even though it made no sense.

I wonder why he made that Big Deal on Twitter about "Struggling"
It's never a bad time for a grifter to solicit donations. Same as the WTS, they always pleaded poverty and that they needed money, there was never a time they said "actually, we're doing OK right now".
If he thinks he can take someone's money, he will.

i wonder how many are like me staying pimo for the great association and gathering etc.

also find it very interesting having a front row seat watching the collapse of borg.. im not wasting any more time or money on anything i don’t want to do like preaching and mostly just go on zoom .

there is nothing i want to do that would be considered disfellowshiping sin, i’m married and want to live by bible principles but i have serious doubts that the gb were chosen by god and are his one and only spokesmen on earth.

Sigh, NASA conspiracies? Really? Don't you think Russia would be all over it were it all to be faked? Or are they all now part of the conspiracy too?
At some point you have to be reasonable and sensible - people saw rockets launch, and come back down, we have satellites for communication, imagery, monitoring, and GPS. All demonstrably real things.

hey simon, have you considered pushing all the knowledge gathered in this forum into an instance of chatgpt?

since its open source, i believe you could download, install and configure an instance of it.

would be quite interesting to interact with the data gathered in this forum through that medium..

From his begging:
"PayPal (most urgent)"
My first thought was "wow, I never knew hookers accepted PayPal ..."
I'm guessing it's more todo with payout time or taxes though?

TL;DR version of his tweets:
"Give me money NOW or else I give up my failing 'work'"
Who can pas up on that offer?!? (apart from everyone with a brain or moral compass)

Every other lyric could be used to describe his feelings growing up as a JW, but the part about "tell me you're like this with every other man" to me is a giveaway that it's not. It's directed towards a romantic partner or interest.
Maybe it's about his Thai "girlfriend, and that he's devastated that she didn't "love him long time" like she promised, and after he left she immediately got another "boyfriend".

He's so confident and yet so completely wrong when it comes to the law ...
A quick word on copyright. Copyright laws applies to original work that is sold on for profit ...
That isn't close to being right. How can someone get so many things wrong in such a short sentence?
Neither an exchange of money, or making as profit, has any bearing on copyright. If you create something, it's yours and you have the copyright on it the moment you created it (unless someone paid you to create it, in which case it belongs to them). If someone copies it without permission, it doesn't matter if they only cover their costs or if they don't charge anything at all, it's still copyright violation and the penalties can be severe - it's not "what you took" in terms of the $ you made, it's the loss to the other person and their costs.
What a monumentally stupid fucktard he is.
