Bradley, great book to read.

The author John Myer was a worker in the Ohio region under Titus Chu during the quarantines. After siding with Titus Chu against LSM's Blinded Brothers, eventually it was just a matter of time before the whole house of cards came crashing down, and Titus cut off John Myer for going too far.

John's book is required reading for the exiting LCer.

Nigel Tomes' articles are advanced reading. Nigel is another regional worker who initially sided with Titus, but then parted ways completely.

At one point, he called the other on WhatsApp and we had a video chat together, it was great. They recommended a book to me,

I'm so glad for you, Bradley. Having friends who have exited TLR so close should be helpful!
