  i remember him on this site when he was called cedars and had jw survey.. straightaway i noticed he could not accept suggestions.. the time i knew he was dangerous was when his group aawa added people to their fb group without their permission and were outed.. he refused to close the fb page (whilst celebrating 1300 members joining in a few days).

  one member complained and was subsequently disfellowshipped, which could easily have been avoided.. three week's after launching, the fb page was closed down.

  from that moment i knew james lloyd evans was dangerous.. when did you realise he not good?.

  MD I knew he was a dangerous narcissist from the first video I ever watched on his YouTube channel. A smug, self-important wannabe that is addicted to the sound of his own voice. Beware of people who seek to have their own following. All glory goes to God, not man. Especially not that putrid excuse for a man.

  You mean you were turned off by his beliefs? They don't make him a "dangerous narcissist" who seeks followers after himself, rather than god.

  But as it turns out he is a perpetrator of spousal abuse. A greedy, lazy man who cares nothing for cult victims, wanting prominence in order to generate revenue for HIMSELF.

  I believe he used immensely talented, warmhearted volunteers in order to surround himself with an aura of capable authority. With his calm, resonant tone we mistook pompous self-importance for reliability & gravitas.

  If you figured that out in the first video you are a far more perceptive person than I am, I'm sad to say!

  Slim Jaracz was appointed to the GB in 1974 and Leo Greenlees was removed in 1984 so the abuse issue in the GB was years after Jaracz’s appointment.

  Ah cheers, wasn't sure what the timeline was there. Rattling around in the back of my brain I seem to recall he was on the GB (relatively) recently for a GB point 0.1....so wow 30 plus years! No wonder he was able to consolidate such power. Although the GB wasn't really the GB when he was appointed, so maybe a 'perfect copybook' wasn't so essential back then?? I also take your point about Spender being asked about Jaracz by other exjws - that is pretty likely.

  LE’s lack of self-awareness is amazing to behold even when we’ve already been exposed to it for years. 😳

  🤣🤣Poster even used his actual name! Not sure if that's intentional or just an autocorrect suggestion instead of Jaracz (Either way it's really funny)!!

  When he stole/copied Neil 'The Great Apostates' book idea and then charged other exjws £300 for the "privilege" of essentially writing the book for him by adding their stories as (the interesting) part of "his" book.

  I finally watched Lloyd's Jaracz video - even at twice the speed he was clearly dragging it out in hopes of more super chats.🙄

  Apart from having bugger all Interesting to say the whole video was a real own goal as viewers must wonder why all his colleagues will no longer work with him! He also lets slip that others were doing most of the important work, too!!!

  I could be wrong but I find it hard to believe that a random Australian lawyer, with no connection to Jehovah's witnesses & who appears to specialise in Aboriginal and Torres straight islander representation, would know who Ted Jaracz - a dead American Bethel heavy - was. Remember the way Cedars claimed the question was phrased was to ask if anyone important was on the list. He replied specifically identifying Ted Jaracz, who was not a GB member when he left Australia, as a GB member. So even if there was an incident he would not have been listed as a GB member.

  Also we already know a GB member was disciplined and 'sacked' for molesting a child - so why on earth would the GB place another known molester on the Body?? Knorr wanting an ally on the Body is not a good enough reason imho.

  All aside from my own rambling personal opinions, Lawyers working for the commission - or any court for that matter - absolutely cannot divulge confidential information. Even if this lawyer had done so (very foolishly if he was being recorded) Mark O Donnell could never reveal a source if he wishes to be trusted by anyone ever again. Especially in so delicate a legal area. Yet Cedars has the nerve to talk about 'credibility' in this video???!!😱

  Slim He will pretend his departure is a principled stand against Elon Musk or something stupid, of course, compulsive liar that he is, rather than face the truth that he burnt all his bridges and can’t stand the heat.

  Oh brother of course he'll claim his right on credentials weren't compatible with Elon Musk's Twitter! Like Elon's critics he's all for free speech.... unless your free speech shows he's a big fat liar, as Kim's post on her Ted Jaracz F.O.I. proved!!!😜

  Jan The Church of England there are lots of rolls , paid and volunteer, that require a DBS check . DBS is the Disclosure and Disbarring Service.

  Yes, back when my boys were younger and in the scouts, as a volunteer parent-helpers we had to have a DBS check despite always being supervised by scout leaders or a minister and never alone with the children.
