Except it’s not a repeat, is it? Because the latest Watchtower comments don’t repeat the bold assertion that young people will not grow up in this system of things. They have tamed down their rhetoric and have learned from experience not to be too specific about timeframes.

Further education

here is a screenshot of a letter that went to all elders.
i am an elder but i don’t remember this one, perhaps it is only for some areas?.

The all caps looks fake.
Plus I don’t think they’d use the phrase “such a course is not outlawed”. That’s not how they talk about their own policies.

Since his patrons found him on YouTube the best way to reach them on YouTube. I am no good at making video but if someone who makes good videos puts out an update on YouTube about the current situation it could be very effective.
It should be short and to the point. No longer than 10 minutes and simply point out:
1. Well over half his supporters have deserted him since the confessions in his livestream in 2022. (Include the graph that shows this)
2. Psychiatrist Dr Sohom Das analysed his behaviour and described him as a narssisitic psychopath and journalist Andrew Gold described him as like a manipulative cult leader - that’s why nobody will work with him any more.
3. Despite still collecting patrons’ money he hardly makes any videos at all, never mind fulfil any of the promises he made to his supporters during his begging campaign. Wealthy donors have given him money for multiple holidays instead.
Short and to the point. Since his own channel is dormant, the YouTube algorithm might well pick up his name from the title and send it to his subscribers. If it’s well done it could shake off a few dozen of his remaining brain dead (sorry) patrons.

I predict most will silently remove you. From the accounts of others, most JWs don’t even engage or say goodbye in this situation. They are more likely to gossip and come to conclusions among themselves than to ask you what’s going on.

If Croatia is anything like Germany and Austria you are supposed to let the authorities know where you reside. You can’t just come and go as you please without letting the police know, as you can pretty much in the UK.
Very true that his condescending comments to his patrons was bound to turn some of them off. But frankly at this point one suspects that many of his remaining are brain dead to still be sending him their money. Maybe that will lessen the decline at some point as he reaches a hard bottom of degenerates and brain dead donors.

It’s funny how his numbers are stable for weeks when he’s absent but as soon as he shows his face some of his patrons drop off. It’s almost as if there’s something about his presence that reminds people they have been wasting their money sending it to him. His best strategy going forward would seem to be to make himself scarce, yet whenever he does surface from time to time people will be reminded to cancel their subscriptions. What a dilemma to be in.

JWs and Coping with Reality

This paper examines the ways in which the Witnesses conceptualise the modern world and how they resist the secular forces that threaten their religious identity. Close analysis of the testimonies of current members reveals that the movement’s millenarian weltanschauung is a reaction to a world that is perceived as hostile and ambiguous. The paper concludes that the Witnesses’ allegiance to this quasi-totalitarian movement signifies an escape from a modern age that hedonistically celebrates individual freedom.

There’s no way he’s outrunning in that policeman. Give it up already LE, you fugitive. You can hide but you cannot run.

I use the term “fugitive” much as LE himself uses the term “criminal defendant”: not necessarily having any relation to reality as such. Although in this case it probably has a better chance if we are honest. I think east European countries are fed up with western schmucks coming to their country breaking their laws, mistreating women, and generally making a mockery of their system. Witness Andrew Tate.
