It's tiring just following this endless stream of events, imagine being at the centre of it all. How does he even get up in the morning?
The useless, time wasting, energy sapping futility of it all. How can he sip his coffee and think; "yep, this is the life I want".
I can't imagine living like that. At some point you have to realize that it's not worth it, and most people have other far more valuable things to focus their energy on. But he's made it his life, job and entire ego, all tied together, so he can't let go.
Chasing down every perceived slight or criticism (99% deserved). Fabricating illusions of a 'legal team', building lone warrior fantasies about taking on the might of a religious cult. What kind of Messiah complex accounts for all of this?
I think going for the Jesus hair and beard was jumping the shark. But it's all part of the "must live JW opposite life" which is silly and shows a degree of immaturity (but lots of people do it).
It will all be over one day and I genuinely hope he survives it all and finds some peace.
I don't think he's sensitive or caring enough about his actions and how they affect others to ever do anything to himself out of a sense of shame or remorse. His claims of mental illness always appear to be an act, because it's a convenient get-out when he's been caught doing something.
He really needs to be gone though, he's generating heat, not light. He's crowded out and shouted down so many individuals who would otherwise be providing their own unique voices to help enquiring JW's.
So many people did a better job of actually helping others move on with their lives (and still do, but many sadly gave up and we lost out as a community because of him). He wants people to perpetually wallow in exJWism, paying him to produce the antiJW porn they become obsessed with. All for profit.
We used to grease each others wheels, we still do to an extent. Evans only adds friction to the community, he never helps out anyone unless it helps him more.
The exJW community has never been great, there have always been divisions and factions (lots of damaged people who don't sort themselves out) but he does seem to be a perpetual focal point behind much of it since he arrived on the scene and worse, he encourages it.
This is why he needs to be humiliated so he goes away and never comes back. Until that happens, he'll stay around to keep filling his pockets from the fresh noobs who don't know about his past, are fooled by numerous slick videos and don't really heal and move on.
For the sake of your sanity Lloyd, for the sake of your daughters and your long suffering wife, just call it a day.
That would mean caring about someone else over his own ego. I just can't see that ever happening. For all his claims of caring about his wife and kids his actions show that he doesn't, and they are just a useful prop for fundraising off of. He even drops their names in videos while he's talking about seeing hookers. Gross.
It'll be the best decision you ever made.
His track record is not one of good decision making. So I don't think anyone should hold their breath waiting.
