  TOH The most effective liars are the ones who are convinced that they are being honest. Not about every detail, but about the overarching narrative.

  Indeed. He's also a liar because he's a total a total nonsense merchant! His overall presence (especially his height), his even vocal tone and earnest delivery fooled people into believing him sober minded and reliable. Instead of the pompous, self indulgent fantasist he is.

  And that's on a good day😒😂
  

  Thisismein72I've been saying this for a long time, he has nothing that has not been said before by people who were far more intelligent than he ever was. Come on, this man decided to publish a copyrighted book.

  
  

  Yup. He mostly used Paul Grundy's hard work on JWfacts.com as his source material. That's about as far as his own research has stretched. That and what he learned from JWdotnet.

  Uncle Punk the old days they were more 'Christian' in their manner. Then later, probably about 1980s(?) they became obnoxious company men.

  😞Very much so. Also became very competitive. Nevermind 'Clone Wars' try 'Elderrrrr Warz'

  MD they have the monopoly on using God's name "Jehovah", which is actually a laughable transliteration that mixes the Hebrew Tetragrammaton with the vowels of the Hebrew "Adoni".

  When witnesses lecture Jewish people about the 'correct' use of God's 'name' their reaction is pure horror....

  When did you see realise James Lloyd Evans was a wrongun?

  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?.

  Your sarcasm not withstanding, I'll illustrate what I was saying through a parable so you can better understand.

  I was merely pointing out that I was daft enough to be taken in having given him many, many superchats and was even a Patreon for a time😶

  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!

  LMsASomeone let loose the Evans letters on the info site. Read the feedback.

  I Wondered when someone would "release the Krakken"🤣🤣I shouldn't laugh because it's textbook narcissistic spousal abuse😡

  So apparently even everyone on worldly Reddit has a "JW mindset" Tibor....Who knew?🤷🏼‍♂️

  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.
