With regards to Sarah Harris's comments. Lloyd has always been sensitive to his interpretation of criticism. I remember back in 2014 when I first came out and I made a random, non-confrontational comment, he jumped down my digital throat. At the time I was obviously still in a vulnerable state, but still felt what a shitty person he was/is.

If this was a one-off, bad day thing then we could easily forgive anyone for that, but it isn't, it is a pattern and people need to know this. Especially when dealing with very vulnerable people.

Is Lloyd passively having a dig at Andrew Gold here? It very much looks like he is.

@jojorabbit

He is a generic guy with a monotone voice that in the real world would never get him very far. Most of his work is repeated stuff that has been done before, he has not one creative bone in his body and he is proving that by the way he is acting. He knows that if he loses his "activism" he will be a nobody, his very existence depends on the watchtower. Assuming of course he is not controlled opposition.

There are many questions still to be answered pretty much from his inception as John Cedars. LIke why he chose NOT to record his supposed judicial committee hearing.

I'm sure he will hire the best Watchtower PR money can buy, along with the best Watchtower lawyer. I hear they are great at covering up the non-mastering of one's penis.

"exjws" and money making Ponzi schemes.

by Thisismein1972 in

ok i want to pose a question to those who care to discuss this.. imagine a scenario.

you hear of a exjw writing a book, however, before writing this book this exjw is requesting money to publish said book.

you go along with it and help to get this book out to the public as you think that it will be beneficial.

Imagine a scenario. You hear of a exjw writing a book, however, before writing this book this exjw is requesting money to publish said book. You go along with it and help to get this book out to the public as you think that it will be beneficial. The book is published, but only 2000 copies are sold. Not very many you think, it's not going to reach many people. So in light of the poor sales, the exjw publisher puts it down to experience and moves on other ventures...

... But wait, this exjw publisher is not satisfied with the first result of the book, so then decides to publish another book. Like the first book, this exjw publisher is again asking for money to publish this book.

If you were one of the ones that donated money to this cause, would you also donate money again to aid the publishing of a second book?

Just when you thought things couldn't get any lower ...

now they are really scraping the barrel.

check out this discussion on exjw reddit .... https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/6v85y9/pioneer_school_today/?st=j6nwx7ny&sh=136a59c9.

History shows that dictatorships often tighten the noose before imploding. The watchtower is no different, the end is nigh, therefore they are becoming increasingly tyrannical. Did we honestly think the shear amount of pressure that is being laid down on the watchtower would actually make them blink and become a little gentler?

Anyone can post anything in cyberspace and be relatively incognito. In my opinion (and myself included) we can lose our inhibitions a little more when we are anonymous. Recently I replied to a post regarding Islam and the so called war on terror after the Third attack on UK soil. My beliefs will not necessarily be the beliefs of others, but as we all came from a high control fundamental religion that taught us all that we had the truth and because of this, debating was a futile exercise, sometimes we don't realise that this way of life we once had has been deeply instilled in us. Thence we try to make others see things our way. This can rub many people up the wrong way, and can be perceived to be rather arrogant in nature.

Not everyone will get on, we are all individuals, although we were taught we were all one with the Borg (I'm Locutus before anyone tries to take this spot 🤣) We do not have to get along with everybody, some will have totally different personalities than others.

Personally I think the world operates just fine no matter if one gets on with another or not. No matter what happens, there is always one constant, the earth keeps spinning with all 7 billion, and growing and the universe eventually equals things out.

And as for me (United we shall be, oops old habits die hard!) I came to the conclusion that it would be best to take a step back from replying to my previous post. I realised I was arguing with anonymous individuals. When you come to this conclusion, you realise just how bazaar in surreal the whole experience can be.

Aroq all I can say is watch this space, well maybe not this space because that could take another couple of generation's too. One would name this the overlapping of the overlapped generation who lived to witness the generation that saw the first overlap of the over...oh I give up!!
