I have to admit, I'm impressed at Evans' ability to blow up everything he touches.

Lloyd responds that he did do something wrong, but only that it was against his wife.
It shows what kind of person he is, that he seems to think that this should be sufficient to convince his patrons to keep supporting him. "Sure, I did something immoral, reckless, cruel, and thoughtless... but I did it to someone else." And the tired old canard of expecting him to be "perfect." This, from someone who makes his living making moral and ethical judgments on an entire organization, and who is trying to claim the moral high ground against his critics. He really is his own worst enemy.

Translation into reality: no one wants to work with me anymore, because I'm a cancer to the community.
Heh, yeah. What was the old fable, the fox and the crow? The fox can't get the crow to give up a grape, and finally insists that he didn't want it anyway. His gripes about how YouTube isn't doing enough to censor his critics probably won't go the way he is hoping, is my guess.
He certainly knew who to go to for an interview, though.

Does he really have a sex problem ?

like many, i’ve been bemused at lloyd evan’s excuses/reasons for his lusting after prostitutes.

apparently, as he claims in his disastrous video, he blames his wife for being inadequate between the sheets.. could the real answer to his ‘problem’ be closer to home?.

perhaps if he consulted a medical person or even a sex therapist he may learn his “problem” is not down to the borg at all, it may simply be caused by his weight i.e.

I don't think the issue is that his body is too large. It's that his ego is.

As someone stated in the video comments, he's probably drawing more attention to his actions from people --including supporters-- who may not have been aware of the scandal. He wants to focus on the stuff he can easily refute or treat as "bullying," but those people will eventually stumble onto the stuff he admitted to everyone. I can't stress enough how damaging the stuff he admitted to is. Or how bad it looks that his version of damage control is to claim that cheating on his wife with hookers is his dick's fault, and besides... it's not like he killed anyone.
Maybe he realizes how bad that video makes him look. Probably not, because instead of pretending none of it happened and trying to crawl away in shame, he keeps pretending he occupies a high moral ground. In the end, it just makes his eventual fall that much farther.

More likely, I expect that he will promote the video and mention that he's being bullied in the comment section, thus precipitating a messy free-for-all that will probably force the channel to disable comments, which also removes them all. Then he'll use that to claim that the attacks on him were so vicious that the channel owner was forced to remove them.

"Trolls took me to the brink. And when I say 'trolls' I mean my uncontrollable wiener and penchant for spectacularly bad decision-making. But it's still the fault of the people pointing and laughing. How rude!"

I cannot tell you why I believe that it is longer than the specified time however I would encourage you to think about this:
I would also point out that he implied (if not outright stated) that he did not have 'mastery over his penis.' Or words to that effect. I suppose it's possible that he held out for ten years before finally giving in and visiting prostitutes. But the price of hand lotion in his local market must have been exorbitant for many years.

i cannot find written anywhere that after 6 months without preaching activities reported you are considered an inactive jw.. where is this written?

or is it a non-written rule?.

thanks..

I'm not DF/DA. I haven't been to a meeting in 16 or 17 years (damn, has it been that long?). They could easily find where I am, but I think they don't want to break my mother's heart (she's been waiting for the end for a bit longer than I have been alive).
I figure that, after she passes on, they won't wait for her body to cool before they're knocking on my door. Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe they don't care. I'm fine either way, but that visit has the potential of being very entertaining.
