It doesn't seem that long ago that our congregation was warning against having the internet or even a tv...
How far things have come.
Information is certainly much more freely available now - I agree we must be wary of the authenticity of the info we receive, but many many many from the top down to the bottom have found bethel to be a toxic place over many many decades!

I noticed this has been posted on Lloyd's facebook page:

Lloyd, I grew up a JW and have been practicing law in California for 10 years. I am not a Croatian attorney and have never been to Croatia.
I'm not sure who your attorneys are or what qualifications they have. I can tell you that in the US, it is absolutely the case that if you say someone defamed you, the burden is on you to show what statements were defamatory and how you were damaged. If you don't have any specific statements to present, they win. If the person who made the statements can show they were true, then they win. You don't just get to say "this person defamed me" and then that person has to sort it out. You also don't send letters to someone demanding money or you will file criminal charges against them (in the US, that is literally extortion), but perhaps things are different out there.
Additionally, it is absolutely the case that the laws of a foreign country do not apply to persons who have no relationship to that country. Put another way, do you think the ruler of North Korea could put an American in prison or take his assets for saying something unflattering about him online? Sure, someone could be extradited to stand trial for something serious, but I think we can both agree that wouldn't happen here.
I have always enjoyed your videos and appreciate the work you have done in helping create awareness of what is going on with the WTBS, but all of this has made me question your judgment and character.

He REFUSES to accept responsibility for a mistake and won't even apologise when the truth is uncovered..
'If something goes wrong and it's his fault, he'll flatly deny it...
'I admitted f***ing up once and he said – with a wry smile, I hasten to add – "Don't do that." He
maintains his authority by never being to blame for anything.'
No, not our friend, but Tom Cruise apparently according to his co actor Simon Pegg in todays paper.

"When you see me coming with my head held up, holding myself erect, know that my end is near..."

I have a very close friend who had to contact Mark for some advice on a very difficult and emotive matter.
My friend said Mark was extremely helpful, understanding and offered good advice.
Mark has publicly removed himself from Lloyd's association, which i was really hoping he would do.
Although even that doesn't seem to made much difference to Lloyd's overbearing and non apologetic attitude.

Lloyd's ridiculous rants remind me of the baddies in Scooby-Doo:
Lloyd like rants

What will reach completion first, Lloyds lawsuit and legal action or Petrocelli's extension?
(You have to be a certain age to get that one maybe!!)
