so when the hour came, he reclined at the table along with the apostles.+ 15 and he said to them: “i have greatly desired to eat this passover with you before i suffer; 16 for i tell you, i will not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of god.” 17 and accepting a cup, he gave thanks and said: “take this and pass it from one to the other among yourselves, 18 for i tell you, from now on, i will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of god comes.”+.

19 also, he took a loaf,+ gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them, saying: “this means my body,+ which is to be given in your behalf.+ keep doing this in remembrance of me.”+ 20 also, he did the same with the cup after they had the evening meal, saying: “this cup means the new covenant+ by virtue of my blood,+ which is to be poured out in your behalf.+.

*** it-2 p. 130 Judas ***

Last Night With Jesus. In spite of having turned against Christ, Judas continued to associate with him. He gathered with Jesus and the apostles on Nisan 14, 33 C.E., for the celebration of the Passover. While the Passover meal was in process Jesus ministered to the apostles, humbly washing their feet. Hypocritical Judas allowed Jesus to do that to him. But Jesus said, “Not all of you are clean.” (Joh 13:2-5, 11) He also stated that one of the apostles there at the table would betray him. Perhaps so as not to appear guilty, Judas asked if he was the one. As a further identification, Jesus gave Judas a morsel and told him to do quickly what he was doing.—Mt 26:21-25; Mr 14:18-21; Lu 22:21-23; Joh 13:21-30.

Immediately Judas left the group. A comparison of Matthew 26:20-29 with John 13:21-30 indicates that he departed before Jesus instituted the celebration of the Lord’s Evening Meal. Luke’s presentation of this incident evidently is not in strict chronological order, for Judas had definitely left by the time Christ commended the group for having stuck with him; that would not fit Judas, nor would he have been taken into the “covenant . . . for a kingdom.”—Lu 22:19-30.

(Luke 1:1-4) 1 Seeing that many have undertaken to compile an account of the facts that are given full credence among us, 2 just as these were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and attendants of the message, 3 I resolved also, because I have traced all things from the start with accuracy, to write them to you in logical order, most excellent The·ophʹi·lus, 4 so that you may know fully the certainty of the things that you have been taught orally.

According to JW, the "fault" lies with Lukas, of course. And this, although Lukas was very exact and furthermore had to be this as a doctor.

The anointing of the Spirit was not until Pentecost 33 even after this supper. Judas could very well have been present at the supper and because of his non-anointing then not a member of the 144000.

And even if he was a member of the 144000, this right can be taken away from him again - at least that is what the JW teaches for the modern times.

So now Lloyd wants to be the next Jim Jones then!

Or the next "Neverland-Ranch" ....

When I saw the hotel photos and the post by Lloyd Evans here, I immediately thought of Michael Jackson's "Children's Paradise".

I wonder why Lloyd has these hotel dream fantasies?

TeamYoutube post from Lloyd:

Lloyd Evans acts exactly the same as the JW organization.

They go all the way to the highest court and demand that the human rights to free exercise of religion be granted to JWs as well.

In the cult itself, however, they do not care about human rights at all and deny members their free choice of religion - by shunning their former members.

The organization want free speech about other religions - but don't want - that former members speak free about the JWs.

Same is Lloyd Evans.

He listens to his "marketing team" and his "lawyer team". Not right from the start (when they advise him not to publish it at all) - but then at least in the second attempt (when they advise him to delete it again).

The newspaper article does not specify who specifically gave the printing order. It does not necessarily have to be the Watchtower. It could also have been "any JW" who gave a print order. But this is all pure speculation.
