It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars (continued)

    That's exactly why he hangs around exJWs - the vulnerable people leaving the WTS are easy picking for a predator to take advantage of.

    It’s so off-the-wall insane what he has been involved in and what he has gotten away with, that assuming he’s still around 5-10 years from now, people are going to continue to find it hard to believe it’s true. In all likelihood he’s the last exJW activist superstar. No one is going on the all-expense paid tours he went on, and he’s certainly not going on them anymore due to no one comping him for the full cost of travel, significantly lower turnout and high probability he’s going to be confronted. The earthquake fund that earned enough to purchase his family a home, the 10K AUD he conned someone out of so he could blow off interviews to take his family on tours - all gone and never to be repeated.

    I am not throwing shade at anyone in particular, but it always boggled my mind how such a vain and arrogant slob could ever gain such a following and support. He openly wrote about a sex scandal involving cheating on his wife and then had the nerve to say everyone was obsessing about his penis. He’s the one who brought it up and kept talking about it! And to hear such intimate details from a guy who looked like he did wasn’t a wise move. People were surprised he got caught cheating on his wife with hookers and didn’t believe it at first? Did they read his book about how any fleeting contact with a woman got him all aroused thinking they were into him? And all the shit he dished out to others on social media…

    The same patterns emerged. People in the org had bad things to say about a CO, elder or GB member in private, but went along with it because of the “good” they were doing. Kept writing the cheques to place in the contribution box even though the CO’s talk rubbed them the wrong way. Such it was with Lloyd I guess. A huge reason why I never liked him was that I absolutely despised the ones in power who thought they could wield it in the JWs. I was present at a Ted Jaracz talk once and I thought he was quite the prick.

    Lloyd reminds me a lot of Ted now that I think of it.

    I was evicted from a flat due to it being riddled with dampness, the flat belonged to an elder, when I stood up to him he really did not like it his narsacism really did shine through. By the way, he did not go through the proper Authoritative channels to evict me because he knew he did not have a leg to stand on, he used two elders to evict me.

    Why do I mention this? this was the start of my awakening back in 2014. When I had settled in my new place I started looking at the apostate, satan driven YouTube, I came across Marc and Cora, their story resonated with my experience, and then the YouTube algorithm recommended John Cedars. It was his I am being shunned by my father video, even his thumbnail gave me the creeps. I ignored this though and had a few interactions with him which culminated in a Christmas Day battle on Facebook as featured in one of JW Primetime videos.

    My experience with that elder and a pioneer and of course, life experience with rather shaky parents has given me a spider-sense, I know someone is a wrong un as soon as I see them these days, and back then I should have trusted my instinct but did not.

    Down 20 today, that's quite a drop.

    I just checked, this 1:15 pm MDST

    And now it's 332, that's 26 down today so far. Each month approximately 2.8% of credit and debit cards expire so from today's starting point of 558 subscriptions you'd expect a drop of 10 just from expired cards. That means that 16 subscribers took the deliberate step of cancelling their support for LE.

    All rough guesses of course but momentum seems to be picking up.

    Ticked up one to 333, so this month’s freefall is done. As he inches down to 300 and below, look for yet another begging stunt, this time threatening to quit altogether.

    Also be on the lookout for another crowdfunding effort for the TRA 2nd edition and the “sequel”. He’ll claim translation costs and other BS expenses that we all know have been provided free of charge. If one doesn’t believe that, then ask yourself why is the language German and not Portuguese or Spanish which have the second and third highest JW populations with Brazil and Mexico?

    The grift continues, but more and more people are coming to the understanding that he can do this on the side like the others, especially since he has less content than the other main producers.

    PS - Thanks www.lloydevans.info and Nic’. Don’t ask me how I know, but it IS making a difference.

    Hail the Lloydocracy ever decreasing

    Wondrous contraction is now taking place

    Exposure of him is now shared without ceasing

    By those who’ve heard of his big fat disgrace

    🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶 🎶

    Two years ago saw his tumble beginning

    As this cult leader sought hookers abroad

    Now a vast crowd see that justice is winning

    His ‘life-saving’ work is a cynical fraud

    Love that King-dumb song! (LE being the King of Dumb, of course!)

    Well, well, well. A drop down to 333? That's the largest drop he's had for a few months, I believe. Even allowing for the possible 'correction' of a few more regains as the month passes (which seems to be the regular pattern), I think nicolaou is right: the momentum of the drop is picking up again.

    So much for the revamp of his Patreon tiers and 'refresh' of what he's offering. The 'shrooms, the orange hair, the newfound 'beliefs'(?) and the offer of WhatsApp chats and "monthly 1:1 conversations" with Our Hero are not pulling in new punters. Looks like his followers are not impressed and are voting with their feet. Who would've thought it? 🤣

    Won't be long now and this thread will be reaching 300 pages. Meanwhile, he'll be hitting the 300 member mark - from the wrong direction! 🤣
