From: None of the "Cult Experts" bothered vetting John Cedars?

"The reason I'm not recording it is because I have nothing to hide"

Yeah - what?! That really does make no sense whatsoever. Maybe it was the pitiful pleading he was going to do, not the image he wanted from his "big man talk" outside in the car on his own. Or maybe it was about what he did?

I wonder now about the part in his non-apology video where he says something along the lines of "we had to leave the UK". Maybe it was just a figure of speech, poor phrasing, or maybe it was another accidental admission? It just seems like a weird thing to say. Was he fleeing the potential consequences of something? Did he think he could threaten to expose the WTS involvement in the coverup of his own scandal as a bargaining chip against the WTS?

People are way too eager to hear bad things said about the WTS and don't put enough effort into vetting who they allow into their midst. Hating the WTS should not be a pass or accreditation, it's proof of jack shit. Plenty of people dislike the WTS because they kicked them out for their behavior and were right to do so.

I know some people will be annoyed by that statement - anyone who is just demonstrates they have simplistic black-and-white thinking about anything WTS related and lack the ability to make critical judgement of people other than the badge they wear.

Counseling for Ex JW

by Iamallcool in

i have been thinking that it would be very nice if the us government would be willing to fund ex jw counseling services all over the united states.

i understand that many counselors do not really understand ex jw issues but we can educate them if we have additional funds, etc…if someone here is willing to write a letter to their local representative about it, that would be great!

.

Simon

Why would they give special treatment to exJWs? Why would it be any concern of the government? Why would exJWs be a priority over any other groups?

Aren't there already counselling services people can use?

Ha ha ha, that statement reads to me like it was 100% written by Lloyd, as it's exactly the same tripe as in his video. To summarize the gist of what he says and translate it from the complex legal statement that it totally is:

Oh noes, telling everyone what I've been up to is the worst crime ever, totally way worse than taking money off people and spending it to cheat on your wife with hookers, for sure! Apart from all of it, that I've already confirmed to be true, the rest is lies! The fact that I admitted to everything is now null and void because I removed the video where I did, and edited those parts out, so there, beat that!

I heard the word "slander" once, and even though I'm totally the law-talking-guy I'm going to use it, even though it's really things that have been spoken verbally about me rather than written (i.e. libel). Of course the whole "being true" thing makes it neither slander nor libel but I desperately need to pretend it still is.

Remember, the most important thing in all this is praise and adulation for me, that needs to keep coming my way. I want to thank all the suckers for keeping it up. And nothing says support like a donation or three, so don't be shy putting your hands in your pockets. Remember who the real victim is here! Ignore those that remind you I'm a perp, not a victim ...

I totally have a legal team, please believe me - look, I'm going to throw in some legal words that I saw on an episode of Law and Order, like "Jurisdiction". Of course, even though I'm going to claim things are illegal, I'm still going to remind people that unethicalness has been done hitherto and unto me, see that's LAW SPEAK peasants! Now I'm totally stopping digging holes, right after this. From now on THEY are doing the talking, even though I said that they prepared this. I forgot who I was pretending to be.

Now, hopefully, that will be an end to the matter so we can all move on, but mostly me. Most importantly, I can move on to my important work of self promotion and money making, and I won't be subject to people reminding any potential donor that I'm a lying fat sack of woman-abusing shit who visited places where women are often trafficked and forced into prostitution, to use prostituted women.

How many exJW you-tubers has he done this to? Can anyone else see a pattern here?

It's like he's tried to drive away anyone who was making exJW videos, leaving himself to "clean up" the market. He sees them as competitors, taking potential views and $$$ revenue away from himself.

JW’s and Charity Organizations

by longgone in

i was wondering if anyone is aware of the jw’s in general being involved financially and/or as volunteers in charity organizations?

i was a born in jw for 56 years and left in 2016. as far as i remember there was never any encouragement to help in the community in any way.

including soup kitchens, tutoring at schools, united way, etc.

Simon

The congregations register as a charity and claim they provide "counselling services to the community". They also claim they they provide a community space.

What they mean is, they do bugger all real charitable work and try to categorize enforcement of their own rules as "counselling" (telling people off) to get the tax breaks. Good luck using the community space unless you suck up all their rules.

The clumsy hand of government, allowing it to happen. It's why charities in general are often such money making / tax-avoidance scams.

I am empathising with the community who are really angry at this and yet again, have it turned around on us, anyone who dares to question Lloyd. Rant over. Love to you all.

Don't let that rancid (perfect word!) jerk intrude in your life, don't lose sleep over him and don't worry about his little group of sycophants who can't see what he is or, more accurately, lack the morality to care.

The majority of decent people see-through things and recognize people's true character, whether good or bad.

I'm sorry I wasn't more aware of what he was doing to other people on other platforms so that I could have offered more support at the time.

i think you live in canada.

this convoy is starting in the usa and soon to be in europe.

just like to know how this is effecting your daily life and like to share with us if it is.

Simon

The funny thing though, is that the government decided they wanted to move some of the trucks.

Q: "How do you move a truck?"

A: "You call a tow tr ..."

Q: "A what now?"

A: "A tow tru ... ah I see the problem!"

Yeah, who drives tow trucks and who's side are they on? So they are refusing ... they have more moral fibre than the RCMP.

"How many trucks can a Trudeau tow if the tow trucks won’t tow trucks?"

They arrested some small old guy yesterday who'd just honked his horn. Incredibly rough and aggressive, that was totally unnecessary.

The RCMP quickly become the government's jack-booted thugs.

And for contrast, when there were leftist protestors doing dangerous shit like putting things onto railway lines they stood idly by, while their masters told them to stand-down.

Every RCMP officer needs to pick a side and decide if they signed up to uphold the law or just "follow orders". One is always the wrong side of history and they will lose support of law abiding citizens if they repeatedly make the wrong choice.

The voting machines that caused so many issues in the US? They are made in Canada, and the company shared office space with some left-wing Soros group apparently.

Plus the East of Canada are all dumb-asses and the voting system is biased to them.

Western Canada would like to join parts of the US. You'll like us ... we have oil.
