INFORMATION CONTROL.
Kim Silvio, Legal advisor for JW Watch did a statement, it has been taken down by Reddit.
All those people defending him are missing one little word "and MINORS"
STATEMENT:
1-31-2022
I write this statement in the interest of scrutiny, transparency and truth. Knowledge can be a powerful thing however in this instance, knowledge has been a heavy weight that has taken time to consider.
Sometimes a day comes when the good that someone does can start to be outweighed by the not so good. Behaviour becomes toxic, hypocritical, suffocating and controlling.
Some weeks back Lloyd openly and without warning notified me of his infidelity and engagement with prostitutes on a very regular basis over many years, amongst other matters that don’t need to be specifically mentioned.
This was shortly before he notified the community that he would be taking a two month break from activism “to re-evaluate my life for the sake of my mental health”.
This is not correct. Lloyd had been in Thailand making use of the many different facilities and getting to know the locals and other tourists since shortly after Christmas, only returning to Croatia a few days ago.
It has often been said that activists are happy for individuals to be Jehovah’s Witnesses, providing that they know the whole truth about the organisation.
Lloyds subscribers, support team and patrons are not being given the correct information. There are matters that he does not want the public to know about, wanting rather to maintain a facade that appeals to those concerned.
To show his narcissistic behaviour, deficit regard for the feelings of others, use of funding generated through his activism work to pay for prostitution, an industry known for the exploitation of women and minors, a solo non-mental health related trip to Thailand and failure to be honest in respect to the true reason for his absence would cause reproach to be brought upon his name and therefore must not be spoken about.
It is hoped that this information will give you the same opportunity that Lloyd gives to all Jehovah’s Witnesses about their religion. The truth. You are being deceived by this hypocritical, dishonest and misogynistic man.
Many times Lloyd has shouted down other activists, members of our community for not agreeing with him, or as a result of him somehow convincing others that on every single occasion he is questioned, he is the victim. How many activists have stopped their efforts? How many people have been silenced? You would be shocked at how many people have left activism because of him.
Is it possible for us all to consider that he has manipulated the entire community to see him as the authority, the only opinion that should be considered? Does he have a monopoly on the activism movement?
Experts often say that the indication of a cult is what happens when you leave. It cannot go unnoticed how many people are cut off, cut down, attacked and shouted into silence for expressing a varied opinion to Lloyd or for daring to question him or critique him in any way.
Is it now time that the community are given the opportunity to consider these matters and to ask this question:
“Is it time to let the videos Lloyd has produced speak for themselves, and let many other activists take the mantle with a truly free and community spirit?”
I have given great consideration as to whether I should disclose this information to the community and I have considered a few factors; Would I want to know if I were a patron? Yes. Would I want to know if I were a subscriber? Yes. Would I want to know if I were recommending Lloyd for media opportunities? Yes. Would I want to know if I were considering entering into a joint activism project with him? Yes.
And finally, can I live with myself knowing that each and everyone of you are being lied to just like we all were as Jehovah’s Witnesses? No.
We will not accept it from the organisation therefore we cannot accept this type of behavior in our community.
Producer Bob and I have resigned from the JW watch team as we can no longer support this behaviour.
We wish you all well and trust that this knowledge will not divide the community, rather unite and build a community that is built on freedom and truth.
In closing I do wish to say that I hope my reputation through the work that I have done and my known association with Lloyd may give you confidence to accept this as truth. I am not concerned that I may be accused of deformation as the first defense of such a claim is truth.
Kind regards,
Kim Silvio

Lloyd is just a Slime Ball.
Not at all surprised by the allegations, they are probably true. Hypocrite.
Lying about his Mental Health? Well, Mental Health is quite a broad term, so he’s used that term to give a false impression about what’s really going on.
Kim & Mikey, how have you deduced that it involves “minors”…if that is true, he’s got a whole world of other problems coming his way.
Hypocrisy of the highest order.
Some of those Reddit comments defending him are absolutely crazy. Cult of personality. They worship him over there.
Sorry, just found where it mentions Minors. Well, she’s not wrong. Prostitution, especially in Eastern Europe is very very seedy.

What??? Not the head apostate!!!
The amount of people defending him is astounding.
I wonder how many over there would defend him or even give him the benefit of the doubt if he had the exact same accusations while still an active witness.

I read the post by this guy and here is my take.
I was never baptized as a jw. I am not a minor. I am a successful businessman.
I've never really followed Loyd and have only seen a couple of his videos. They don't interest me one bit.
I've never met the man, but I've heard he is a big exjw activist who has help many wake up.
It is crass stupidity for anyone to demean a person publicly . Especially someone who seemed to be reaching out for help to someone he considered a friend.
This Loyd seems to have been reaching out for help for a terrible mistake he made that will cost him and his family dearly, and instead of helping him by pointing him in the right direction, to get the needed help, this "So call Friend" revealed serious confidential talk that only humiliates another human being.
I write this statement in the interest of scrutiny, transparency and truth.
This has nothing to do with scrutiny, transparency and Truth. This smacks HATRED.

This post troubles me. For one I cannot stand Lloyd and his approach. But if a light was shone on my private life I'd be a hypocrite too. 🤦🏿 -

"This has nothing to do with scrutiny, transparency and Truth. This smacks HATRED."
He does public videos condemning Watchtower for their abuse of all of us, using donated funds to pay child abuse court cases, and all of their sins, so we're supposed to keep quiet that this man is taking donations and making solo trips to Thailand and visiting prostitutes for years?
Then we all might as well go back to the Kingdom Hall then, don't they do some good also?

nowwhat?
If this is true, he is as much a hypocrite as the GB.
