Yes we all have choices. Lloyd made his choices to betray his family with prostitutes and texting underage girls. He has made a mess of his life.
if he stayed a JW even if he was agnostic then he would have let a text book life. Relatively happy family clean and together. Good friends and social life. Real friends that will be there for him.
he certainly would have been more happy staying a JW even if PIMA so agnostic as to the truth about the Bible. His wife would have been much happier and his kids would have been more stable.
his kids are probably going to be messed up now with what they have been told from their JW grandparents and now their new step dad.
