I think Lloyd at least is able to convince himself of many things.

God, that reddit post is his typical blame casting, victim blaming and obfuscation. Who believes his side of any tale any more?
I particularly like how he's quick to want to give away someone else's copyright work:
However, I believe there is a strong moral argument for Deborah to at least consider making PDF copies of Crisis of Conscience freely available in all languages
Q: Does he make his own book available for free? If not, why not?
Not that I believe a PDF of it is of any use to anyone (at least you could wipe your arse on a paper copy or burn it for some heat), but isn't he hypocritical?
Oh wait, that's not news ... carry on :)

He should have said they are not proven. Who really knows if they are false, apart from Lloyd himself, and possibly a few others?
Yes, I don't think anyone has said "Lloyd definitely met up with an underage girl" but rather that he's been accused of that and the accusations are credible in that some purported evidence has been produced and it aligns with his own admission in his book about sexting "girls" and subsequent behavior and admission that he can't control himself sexually.
I would guess only Lloyd and possibly his wife and the relative that is apparently behind the allegations can know for certain, no one here can say for sure either way, the police would need to investigate and we know all the information has been handed over to them.
There's the same lack of ability for anyone else to definitively declare it "false", unless it is a hoax and they are behind it or party to it.

Lloyd's letter to his late mother
Yeah, it's not "to" her so much as it's a marketing message to his readers. Nice. But still not the lowest he's reached.

I feel I have grown as a human being and embraced reality. I have learned to accept my place in the cosmos and contribute in whatever infinitesimal way I can to the ongoing struggles of humanity. And it is your legacy of courage, kindness and honesty that I can credit for growing in that way.
... but mostly I learned to grift and spend the money whoreing with hookers! (sounds less grandiose)
Sometimes I find myself pondering the question: “If Mum could see me now, would she be proud?” I’ve come to realize that this question has two answers.
Was one of the answers "no, you dirty little pervert, you disgust me and live contrary to everything I believed in"?

WTF is wrong with him? Does he have no filter at all? Never mind what kind of idiot does something like that, who shares it as a personal anecdote while talking about their kids?!
Just the combination of use of the word "climaxed", "discovered in a compromising situation" and "pure thrill on the children's faces" is gross.
I mean, to write it is one thing, but you must read it back, right? To then think "yep, that's great ... off to the publisher!" is a sign of someone who makes very poor decisions.

Yeah, there's plenty to be critical of without making things up, and all it does is play into his technique of focusing on one insignificant comment to claim everything is a lie. See "green-screen-gate".

Just watching the video by Kim and heard him claim, not for the first time, that he claims he's doing his litigation "for future activists".
As if! What a laughable claim.
When was the last time Lloyd did something for other people? Certainly for other activists, and for one's that may come and take over viewers from him?
Trying to make out his latest in a long line of grubby money-making schemes is really for "noble reasons".
The guy who takes all the money himself from the free labor of others, is suddenly "Mr Altruistic"? I don't think so ...

Let's be honest, no one is disfellowshipped for anything besides not offering enough of a grovelling apology to the elders. Especially if you're Elder-spawn, you can do anything and it will all be forgiven.
But take a stand, hold them to account for a lie, or for their objectionable behavior and it's "bye bye"
