  The way he said he wanted time in Thailand to ‘work out if he could be without his family’, it’s clear he thinks about nobody else but himself, ever. They will be better off without him. Also the way he said no one should ‘blame’ Dijana for him ‘needing’ to go outside his marriage. As if anyone would blame her for his behaviour. What planet is he living on? An uncomfortable glimpse into a dark psyche.

  This song seems apt response to his so called need for space.

  I reckon he’s realised that the YouTube/Patreon venture will not be viable in the longer term. But instead of winding it down he’ll probably string along the remaining patrons for as long as he can get away with, putting less and less effort into ‘churning out the content’ as he describes it, until it just fizzles out. If a small number of people keep sending him money for nothing, is he going to turn it down?

  Yes, that’s true. A qualified psychiatrist has actually called him a psychopath with narcissistic personality disorder in a public video. If any statement was legally actionable you’d think that would be top of the list. (Not saying he would be successful, but it’s a more serious judgement of his character than simply starting the facts, as Kim Silvio has done) Yet he doesn’t go after Dr Sohom Das at all. Why is that? Is he afraid? If so then he is being more calculating than his out of control, crazy demeanour would at first indicate.

  Plus Andrew Gold, an investigative journalist who has reported on cult leaders compares Lloyd to a cult leader. In his mind it’s easier to take on Kim Silvio than Andrew Gold and Dr Sohom Das.

  It’s probably worth repeating the comments of Andrew Gold and Dr Sohom Das for a number read of reasons. Number one, they are serious allegations and characterisations made by qualified and independent commentators. Secondly, Lloyd himself seems to be avoiding them. Thirdly, it could help thwart Lloyd’s attempts to attack the character of Kim Silvio and others.

  In an attempt to sound reasonable Lloyd also made the comment in the Andrew Gold video that exploitation in Thailand is “a conversation worth having”, yet he has never actually had that conversation at all. If it’s a conversation worth having, then when does he plan having it? (Is another question it might be worth putting to him, for those who can be bothered engaging him at all any more.)

  I’ve not read this thread for a while and I am actually feeling queasy reading these updates. I knew he was not a very pleasant person but it just keeps going from bad to worse.

  The way he accuses others of ‘breaking trust’ is just astonishing. I don’t know how else to describe it. This from a man who lied to his wife and family for years and used supporters’ money for illegal and unethical purposes. Yet he thinks that he is the one who has been betrayed? It’s unfathomable.

  He thinks he’s in the right to accuse Silvio? Why? Because of what? She told his patrons information they were entitled to know. How on earth does this arrogant idiot think he has a right to demand silence from people he has unburdened himself with his history of lies and deception? At the same time he apparently thinks he is not accountable to anyone who in fact did have reasonable expectations not to be lied to and exploited as he has done. It’s absolutely mind boggling how he can keep these two thoughts in his head at once. Does he really believe what he is saying? Do any of his patrons, if they have been following these statements? Is it entirely cynical and knowing, or is he simply off-the-charts lunatic crazy?

  He claims that a small band of supporters met up with him in London. How he managed to screen out sane people from meeting him and telling him what they really think of him I can’t imagine. Plus he apparently used the address of a former supporter as a nominal base for cheating on his wife. Who does that? He claims he was ‘exploring possibilities as a single man’, I think was the obscene euphemism he used. The living hell of his wife and family in all this is awful. The messages are just the tip of the iceberg. Shame on anyone still sending this person money. You are complicit.

  Will the ministry ever resume?

  going on 2+ years of no public ministry.

  can't imagine anyone is really enjoying letter writing still or that it's remotely effective.

  i'm a little shocked that we haven't resumed yet but i guess that's what happens when the org is run by a bunch of old people (ie high risk for covid) and a bunch of other sheltered germaphobes.

  Homeopathy and Jehovah's Witnesses.

  years ago, the jws did not like modern medicine.

  vaccines and other things were all deemed bad.

  this gave rise to a lot of jws getting into alternative medicines.

  Famous Swiss homeopath Alfred Vogel, said to have been a JW, was very popular among JWs from German speaking countries

  I don’t think he is centrist, just a lazy liberal who parrots whatever is the current line in the mainstream media, and the mainstream media pretty much give Ukrainian fascists a free pass at the moment.

  Prediction of how Watchtower going to be in 5 Years.

  by Foolednomore in

  i can see it that watchtower will become an online/tv based group with just con-vention hall$.. field service would be letter writing and phone preaching, door to door is done.. watchtower will have pay to view programs and still ask for donations after all that.. zoom meetings are here to stay.

  kingdumb halls will be sold off except for con-vention venues, or need for new ones$.. df'ing will continue.

  the craziness will continue.

  No idea, either.

  I think it depends a lot on world events, which are themselves unpredictable, but probably volatile. If so, everyone, including JWs, may get more apocalyptic in outlook
