Evans had been known (esp from posters here who were among the first to spot it) for being a toxic bully. I’ve come to believe he can’t help it and in any therapy sessions he may have gone to (my opinion - he never went) he put on an act full of lies, half-truths and attempts to control the session - thus a complete waste of effort.
What truly bothers me is the cult he created. Especially the same people who pride themselves as TTATT people. You know, the ones who demand evidence and proof? Tom was on the right track when he stated the lowest point of this entire movement was when Kim’s initial Reddit statement was deleted by mods there, all under the guise of “well this could be a fake Kim Silvio”.
This woman had to create a YouTube channel on the spot, put her own face on camera and confirm it was her. It was a “take a look at my face and compare it to the Kim on Lloyd’s videos” moment like she was Christ inviting Thomas to place his hand in his wounds.
What happened next was the worst moment of ex JW history imo. After confirming it was her, instead of examining the testimony of someone who was known as Lloyd’s right hand, she got shouted down as a LIAR. A torrent of abuse followed and then something truly amazing happened next.
Lloyd announces his livestream and he’s taking her allegations head-on. The tweets are still there, take a good look. A common response: “I’m not even going to watch the livestream but you have my support 100%!”
Excuse me? We have a high level Ray Franz level defection and the default was to support Lloyd unconditionally? Without even watching what he had to say in response?
What if he did admit to underage sex?
So Lloyd confirms everything Kim alleged and the only contention was what the definition of “regular” visits to prostitutes meant. Lloyd knew what he was doing. He was changing the narrative to “this is none of your business” and it worked for a time afterward. Reddit was particularly nasty toward anyone who questioned the sex trafficking angle of it and were basically told they were prudish idiots.
The first weekend after that this community was eating itself alive. And you know something? I didn’t give one shit. Let it burn. That’s how ashamed I was to even be associated with this community which had its head buried deep up its own ass.
Thanks to Evans’s continued idiocy, retorts, threats and taunts, the momentum has shifted and his star is rapidly fading. Simply amazing how even after that disastrous livestream he had to keep feeding fuel to it to make people wake up to his manipulative tricks. But I won’t ever forget how exactly this went down nor will I forgive.
