I see he has posted another pic of himself in his 'former life' as a JW.
Sadly, this just goes to show how far he has fallen (at least in terms of health and appearance) - in the old photo, he may look like your typical over-groomed nerdy JW male, but at least he seemed to be a healthy weight, clean-cut and more professional in appearance, and had generally fewer signs of stress and premature ageing.
Compare that with photos from his more recent years:

It's no wonder that many have observed he is now a poster boy for the GB to warn about 'mentally diseased' apostates!

Come on Lloyd, you can now use the I am gay card to boost your following. It has worked for all those actors and politicians who got caught out fiddling. It even worked for Kevin Spacey and Philipe Schofield who were hailed as heroes and so so brave.
Good point!
It's about the only one he hasn't played yet - he's done the "mental health", "I'm being persecuted" (by Kim and her 'cronies'), "it's not my fault, someone else did it to me" (JWs) and "my family are suffering" ones already.

And as a white, British expat he can't play the race or migrant cards so that's the only one left!
We might see that one in a few weeks or months. He'll be able to claim that since his split with Dijana he's been able to 'discover' his 'true' identity and now he can stop living a 'lie' about his sexuality and 'come out' as homosexual or bisexual. Cue lots of sympathy, understanding and support (and more chances to get money, of course) from around him. Or so he will hope!

Jws getting drunk

has anyone got any good 'jws and alcohol' stories?

i always found it amazing that so many jws got blind drunk at parties and got away with it!

i suppose alcohol was the only fun thing we were allowed to partake in....

I cant think of a worse idea than young men being called elders.
I always saw these fresh faced youths with their "Elder So and So" badge on, and I'd think "You're not an elder, you're a youngster!"
I agree. It doesn't matter how 'mature' you may be as a person, if you're under 30 you don't have the life experience and miles on the clock to be considered an 'elder' who ought be 'counselling' husbands and wives, parents, retired or elderly ones, etc.

So this is a full list of his purported skills?
Some of those items read like entries on a school-leaver's CV. "Blogging"? "Social Media"? "Microsoft Office"? Hardly what you'd put on a professional profile, they sound too general and somewhat amateurish.

don't get a sporty 2 door car or else you are a bad example to the flock-not to mention being materialistic
Ah yes, another case of the elders going "beyond what is written".
When I first saw comments about that from people in the USA I was surprised as I've never heard such a thing here in the UK. Generally, there's not such an emphasis on getting the 'right' car for ministry as we don't have such big distances to cover, so the concept of "car groups" doesn't really exist - although I suppose it might be an issue in some remote rural congregations. As someone who's always lived in cities though, I'd never encountered that particular elder prejudice before!

Journeyman, you forgot KITT
Funnily enough, I thought about including KITT and a couple of other classic cars from TV/film like the Starsky & Hutch Gran Torino but figured they look too ordinary from the outside - need something more eye-catching for parking at the kingdom hall!
I suppose Herbie The Love Bug is a possibility too...
Or even this! 🤣

Or how about pulling up beside the KH on a Sunday morning with the Duke of Hazzard General Lee or "Bandit" Trans Am?
... or maybe one of these? Ecto-1 would go down especially well...

Don't forget the BMW he bought
You meant,He didn’t buy?
Yes, I thought I'd read that someone donated it to him for his 'activism'?
~~Nice work if you can get it.~~ Nice scam if you can work it.
I see he's just posted a short on his favourite subject:

I'm sure if he were giving the talk though, the "how to fight" bit wouldn't come into it!
