2 hours ago.... on the subject of leaving Jehovah’s Witnesses. Yeah, I know. It’s not about Lloyd. But I liked it. And the sooner Watchtower falls, the sooner Lloyd’s gravy train dries up.

I don’t know who you are however you are clearly someone who knows Lloyd very very very well.
I’ve never met him nor ever had any desire to. I shouldn’t deem to opine that I had him pegged from the beginning, so let’s just say when he released his pic things became a lot clearer. I can see how a man who looked like that and possessed his personality would be so defensive about everything, especially matters concerning his wife. If you plug the 10 tenets of Cedars Law into any JLE social media post, you’ll have all the clairvoyants and fortune tellers beat as to what he is trying to accomplish and what he will do next.
The Ten Tenets of Cedars Law
- Never back down from an argument until opposing parties either give up out of exhaustion or are silenced. Attack immediately and hit them hard with snarky replies and words you found in a thesaurus to throw them off or to intimidate. Repeat ad nauseam that you do not give into “bullies” and that it only makes you fight back harder. (Think of the plot of The Karate Kid. He’s like Daniel but with no Mr Miyagi to train and guide him)
- Take every opportunity to hide behind your wife and children. Use them as human shields. If you feel you are being attacked, stress just how upset your wife is. Disseminate false tales such as your children not being able to be cared for by both parents, a ruined Christmas, unaffordable haircuts, etc. because someone said something negative about husband/daddy on social media.
- (The Producer Bob Rule) Assert that there have been attempts by exJWs to sabotage you. This can include hi-jacked livestreams, poor book reviews, burner accounts, Reddit mods or Simon Green. Always end with the maxim that most of the opposition to your work comes not from Watchtower, but from exJWs themselves.
- Claim depression and suicidal thoughts and identify the people you feel are responsible. Supply as few details as possible to intentionally keep things vague in order to keep people genuinely worried. See Rule #5.
- Recruit and routinely provoke a brainwashed and thoroughly loyal goon squad. The less intelligent and more pathetic, the better. These people will be easy triggered into attacking the folks you identify online as you quietly disengage so you look like the innocent party. Pop into the conversation as needed to lamely quip that people are obsessed with you and/or your penis.
- Threaten to leave for good. You mean it this time. Use contrived scare tactics that WT will win if you are eliminated as a paid activist. Continuously hint but provide zero details of another career where you could be earning as much if not more money and you are doing exJWs a huge favour by staying in. Reiterate you are not begging for money before providing several links for people to pay you.
- Consistently plead poverty. Feed into the narrative that you are living on a limited income and donations are only barely getting you by. Disguise your solo and family holidays as activism. Pick up no cheques, encourage all to chip in to fund these holidays and other endeavours. If this doesn’t work, see Rule #6.
- (The Mark O’Donnell Rule) Engage talented exJWs and delegate many important tasks to them. DO NOT PAY OR COMPENSATE THEM IN ANY WAY. Their compensation is simply the allure of being associated with you. They are allowed to participate in side projects but they must always thank you for waking them up, being their mentor, or promote your videos.
- Compare your critics to WT or JWs as much as possible. Key terms: “JW mindset”, “you’d make a good elder”, “judgmental”, and “same kind of logic I witnessed at the Kingdom Hall”. Use a touch of creativity and a thesaurus to avoid repeating the same words over and over again.
- (The Mike Rinder Law) If options 1-9 are not successful, this is your final option. WARNING: Only utilise this if your content is stale and your financial support is drying up. Have Mike Rinder on your channel or go on his for an interview. Talk about Scientology for at least an hour. Keep talking about the Leah Remini special you were on like two war buddies. NOTE: Rinder can be substituted out for anyone with a larger following than yours who still doesn’t mind appearing with you. This is a desperate play for relevance.

APPENDIX 1
3/a. Where possible, use the "litigation' weapon as a threat for critics and youtubers. Convince your donors that the litigation is a matter of honour that involves everyone by extension and ask for financial support. No matter if the litigation would die eventually, but once the litigation has started, dictate the narrative by calling those who have been sued 'criminals' on social media. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
9/a. Engage in the "US vs THEM" mode Watchtower style in the so called "Persecution Porn" attitude. "Watchtower has been trying to silence me. My enemies want to destroy me and my channel. Watchtower is evil therefore my enemies are evil too." In the same way, other youtubers must be silenced too. My 'activism" works perfectly. Theirs does not. If you contradict me then seek professional help.

Malta has been hit by a cluster of earthquakes recently. 14 in total, the last one registering at 4.9 just this morning. I am obviously in the wrong business. The amount of money I could have made!
By my replying to this thread, they are not disruptive at all, but hey money has to be made.

The Ten Tenets of Cedars Law (LMsA)
Appendix #10/a (may be substituted as the Bart D. Ehrman rule) This is an absolute last resort for the following reason: you have to dig into your own pocket and pay up for interesting/relevent guests (who are far too busy to be aware of your BS)

He opened a gofundme? What is the link?
