”There’s no Remini show in his future and he fails the basic vetting standards media outlets use for credible sources.“
I think that exposing Evans as failing “the basic vetting standards media outlets use for credible sources” is important. And I think that this is what we “collectively” have done on this thread. We’ve made a public service announcement.

In his videos, Evans projects the image of being a person who knows where he’s going,... who has a direction. The people who are attracted to him and his videos are people who currently don’t know where they are going,... who don’t have a direction. When I woke up from Watchtower, I saw Evans’ videos and wondered, “Does this man have answers to my questions?” But something was “off”. I kept searching and watching other people’s videos. I’m so glad I did.
So, yes. raymond frantz, warn people of Evans’ toxicity and tell them that there are non-toxic alternatives. Tell them that there are better sources of advice and to keep searching.
Sadly, there really is a Devil, and he controls most people. So, despite our best efforts, Evans’s Patreon numbers may rise again.

I recognize the one on the left. He’s an internet troll.

Diogenesister, we should write a checklist for Lloyd Evans to help him out. It would help him sort through his mail faster and get to the people that really interest him without having the drudgery of reading all those letters from "nobodies" who are begging for his help. Then, Lloyd could hire someone, at minimum wage, to triage the correspondence he receives,... not according to how badly they need him, but rather according to what they can do FOR him.
I don't know if this information is still under his YouTube description or not, but there used to be a message saying that he was receiving way too many messages from his viewers, and that he couldn't answer them all because he owed time to his family. I think that it also said something about the possibility that someone on his staff might occassionally answer an email for him.
So, the checklist of information that Evans would want before deciding whether or not he has time for helping someone,... would it ask for a photo of the person? her age? marital status? availability of temporary lodging near her home? I mean, he would need to spend a few days with her in order to help her, wouldn't he?

There's the old expression "any port in a storm". But the disdraught woman "Stephanie" should really pass up the Lloyd Evans "port". His is a trap, not a port of safety.
I'll make one more observation,... something that I can't help but notice. I enlarged "Stephanie's" avatar picture and took a screenshot of it. I realize that she very likely already had that photo as an avatar before writing to Lloyd Evans. She is an attractive young woman. Her pose in the photo would be a welcome sight to a boyfriend. If she knows about Lloyd Evans' decision that self-control is for dummies, then her photo is an invitation. If she doesn't know about his exploits, she can still easily find out that he is married. Lloyd has no professional credentials, to my knowledge. Without those, he can't be charged legally with a violation of his "duty of care" to the young woman,...because "professional activist" doesn't HAVE a "duty of care" requirement. This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

Great post, KitKat. Nice to meet you here.

You're quite a historian, Anna Marina. That avoidjw website is fabulous, isn't it? Watchtower has been churning out garbage for such a long time. Even the Finished Mystery book (1960's?) had silly, petty things that were heralded as grandiose fulfillments of prophecies. And I thrilled to it. Yep, I waded through Fred Franz' verbiage to understand those golden nuggets of truth. (Sigh) Cults do that to people's power of reason.
So, "The Watch Tower, Herald of Christ's Presence, not Zion's Watchtower". Okay, thanks. The belief system that it presented was the gift that keeps on giving. My grandparents "found the truth" and sadly their three children inculcated Watchtowerism (with all its hypocrisy) into their children, too.

Anna Marina, I'd had no idea that J P Morgan backed Zion's Watchtower. The name J P Morgan only made me think of finances.

Diogenesister, It’s my hope that the Watchtower mistreatment of those discarded elders will eventually cause the former elders’ brain cells to start firing and for them to wake up. It took many betrayals by the Watchtower Society for me to realize that they didn’t care whether I lived or died. In fact, I suspect that if they cared at all what was happening to me, a few may have been favoring the latter option. Watchtower’s worst fear was probably that a recovering alcoholic elder might blab a deep, dark Watchtower secret.
