  It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars

  On a separate LE topic, Lloyd continues to minimize his sexcapades by asserting that they are just own personal flaws that should be forgiven (and preferably overlooked). He has multiple 'reasons' why his personal 'sins' and flawed human expressions are not his responsibility to correct.

  It seems he hasn't yet connected the dots between what he knows about CSA within WT and his own personal life.

  Since even prior to the Australian Royal Commission (ARC), a very simple fix to the problem of CSA with the WT has been said to be for the org to change their view of CSA from that of a personal 'sin' to that of a crime. Then to report crimes to the authorities for investigation.

  In fact, the particular 'sins' that Lloyd has told us all about are actually crimes in the countries where he committed them.
  

  If Lloyd would recognize - as many, MANY of us recognize - that his chosen/preferred sexual outlet is a sex crime, he may finally be able to begin taking legitimate control of his life. If he cannot control himself, perhaps the authorities can.

  Lloyd seemed so quick to let everyone know that he did not have an affair. However, an affair is not a crime. It is not a decent way to treat a spouse and mother of your two young children. It may not be moral, but it is not a crime in most countries. It might have even been more understandable.

  Contributing to the criminal sex work industry is wrong on so many MANY levels.

  Contributing to the criminal sex work industry while declaring yourself a primary advocate for SA victims is indecent and hypocritical to the highest degree.

  It's way past time for Lloyd to stop bullying other activists and spend some time reflecting on and correcting his own unkind and criminal behavior.

  Maybe the authorities can help.

  Toward the bottom of page 77 of this thread, for the YouTube vid 'The Reluctant Saboteur'...

  The poster asked for comments. I have 2:

  1. The video is well worth the 3.5 minute watch time. Answers a few questions people may have.

  2. In the thumbnail for the video, the man toward the right looking at the camera... He looks like Harvey Weinstein, pre-incarceration. I'm not implying ANYTHING. I don't know the man. But each time I scrolled thru, Harvey Weinstein caught my attention.

  The poster invited comments. Those are mine.
