picking through his accounts like this just shouts out jealousy because he has been successful in his activism, . . .
What you refer to as "jealousy" is actually healthy skepticism being exercised by folks who left a high-control group that frowns on any form of dissent or skepticism. Given the allegations about his conduct, and his rebuttal, skepticism about his accounts is certainly both healthy and reasonable. It's your right to serve as Lloyd's advocate, despite the disturbing allegations and pathetic response to them. However, your use of ad hominem arguments like "those who ask questions are jealous of him" demonstrates rather clearly that there is no merit to your position.
The publicly-available financial statements do not support your characterization of his activism as "successful." If you're referring to something other than financial success, please elaborate and provide some facts to support your claims.

Since the company has a loss for this year part of that loss is covered by financial investment. Basically you cover the loss by your special reserve. This doesn't mean cash is moved from A to B.
That's not what the statement reflects. The statement of cash flows shows the impact on the cash balance of operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. The 11,185 Euros I referenced in my last post is shown as an "investment activity" cash outflow affecting the cash balance. It is included in the "net cash flow" amount of -41,619 Euros that is added to cash at the start of the period of 49,843 Euros to arrive at the balance of cash at the end of the 2022 reporting period, 8,224 Euros. Therefore, cash was definitely moved from A to B. Additionally, since this is a capital transaction, there is no income or expense associated with it and it is unlikely to have any effect on the taxes to be paid by the business.

The last time I took my parents to the Memorial, it was the same old same old. As I did when I was a young kid, I stared at the clock for the entire meeting and was thrilled when it was over. I also doped myself up pretty good to allow me to sit in my seat and not leave. There's no way I could handle sitting there for an hour while sober.

LMSA,
Those are the statements I found. I saw nothing particularly interesting about them, but there was one item that seems worthy of some attention. There's a line item on the cash flow statement with a Euro amount shown for 2022 only: "Change of capital and reserve without the profit/loss of the current year" in the amount of 11,185 Euros. This appears to be a withdrawal of cash that is not an expense of the business; therefore, it is not reflected in the income statement. Since it reduces the cash balance, it affects the balance sheet and the statement of cash flows.

LMSA,
It looks like you're at the right place. You can click "more information" on the balance sheet, income statement, balance sheet addendum, and cash flow statement to get the complete statements. They do not have a download feature, but if you print the financial statement to a .pdf file, it will produce a complete statement on .pdf.

Hey, I believe LMSA posted the original and a translated version already a few days ago. Have a look
No, those are the notes to the financial statements that accompany the financial statements, but not the financial statements. I have the balance sheet, income statement, addendum to balance sheet, and cash flow statement for several years, in .pdf format.

I've asked a few folks on here for copies of the financial statements that accompany the notes to financial statements posted in this thread, but no one has been able to provide them, so I did some searching online and found what appears to be the financial statements for Ipsilon Media. I'm not that good with the technical side of this site; can someone advise how to post a .pdf file?

I am a man of my word, and I take honesty very seriously.
The "word" I've always thought of when it comes to Lloyd is "slob."

all elders just got letters about this new blood card system .

“language-coordinating congregations will receive separate parcel(s) containing the revised durable power of attorney for health care (dpa-e) for all congregation(s) in their literature group.“.

my questions are - why the revision and what has been revised?.

The best DPOA for Health Care forms are those produced by your local medical board (in the US, State medical boards). The doctors will respect these forms because they are familiar with them. You could draft a much better one, but in an emergency, anything but the forms the providers are familiar with will need to be cleared by hospital legal staff before the health care instructions are followed.
