Didn't Evans make an attempt at having translators work for free translating his first book?
Well, he certainly got his money's worth. Others have explained that he made life difficult for the translators, which is peak Lloyd Evans: find the cheapest way to do something, then make an effort to reduce the quality even more. Hmm, I'm not feeling too confident about the odds of his legal issues working out for him...

I read somewhere that Evans’ second book was more like a pamphlet.

He should have it printed in roll format on perforated, soft ply.

Remember "I'll let you be the judge"?
More people took him up on his offer!

If his translators translated "word for word", he got what he paid for, i.e., professional translators don't do that. It would have been hilarious,... like reading a menu from a Chinese restaurant translated to English... in South America. Some ex missionaries and I used to read those menus like comic books. We laughed till our sides ached.
I saw an example the other day of a technical document that had been translated. The original was something like:
"any child processes will be terminated when the parent exits"
... and it turned into:
"if you leave we will execute your children".
Brilliant!

Writing another insipid, poorly-done 'tell all' full of confessions and lies ...
But he probably has so many more stories to tell of his amazing wanks ...

Vintage One more title idea,... "How to Respond when your Children ask to change their last Name."😎
Ouch! 😂😂

I can’t remember them all now, but one Chinese menu specialty, at every Chinese restaurant, was Chicken with Nuts. You’d think JW ex missionaries and need-greaters would have better decorum than to laugh at that, wouldn’t you?
