I woke up after reading Crisis of Conscience three and a half years ago. Wouldn't it have been diabolical if Evans' had gotten the rights to that book? Then, every time I would recommend that someone buy and read that book, it would have been money in Evans' pocket. At the time of the dispute, I believed that Evans' was earnestly trying to make available a book that is priceless for freeing Christians from Watchtower. But now, knowing about Evans' immorality and deception, I'm so glad that Debbie Dykstra kept the rights to the book. I'm glad that Evans has no ownership in the book Crisis of Conscience.

I realize that Evans lawyer in Croatia is duty-bound to maintain confidentiality on Evans' case and their client-attorney conversations. HOWEVER, I think that it would be very interesting to those on this Thread to hear a first-hand report on the ambiance of the law firrm that Evans uses. I don't suppose that we have any forum members in Croatia who might pay a visit to the legal office he uses, which is located near Evans' home?

Newly Enlightened, thank you for the link to Shyla’s channel, This and That Resourceful Living. The video with her Dad using acorn flour was right up my alley. I’d gathered acorns and soaked them when I was captive in a nursing home. I didn’t have internet and didn’t know what to do next with them. So, finding her channel was perfect for me.

I’ve wanted to meet Shyla for a long time. Newly Enlightened, would you please tell me where to find her “page” that was mentioned?

From what I've read on this Thread, I believe Thailand provided him a new source of comfort women, er, SWs, er, "dates", er,...somebody help me out here. Did he only go to Thailand once?

Davispauley, you said:

"The moral of the story: Be careful of whom you tell your transgressions to."

But you also said:
"I don't fault Evans for going to Thailand and having some fun with women and sex."

Davispauley, you are "talking out of both sides of your mouth". Putting those two statements of yours together, we get: you don't fault Evans for... trangressions."
UE .com says:
"Idiom: Out of both sides of your mouth
Meaning:
If you talk or speak out of both sides of your mouth, you say different and contradictory things to different people, so that people are left unsure or confused."

DavisPauley, you may already know this, but I'll repeat it anyway...
From nolo .com:
"Truth
Truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Remember that defamation is a false statement of fact. So, if the statement was accurate, then by definition it wasn't defamatory."
Also, Davispauley, you said:
"His confession, though, seemed sincere; which means, he regretted his actions, and from regret comes repentance."
No. A confession does not mean that Evans regretted his actions. People usually speak of someone having given a "sincere apology", not of having given a "sincere confession". A "sincere confession" would only mean, "Yep. He sure did that!"
But you also said:
"I don't fault Evans for going to Thailand and having some fun with women and sex."
Evans is married, but you don't fault him for "going to Thailand and having some fun with women and sex." I hope that a review of what you've written will give you a clue as to the reason for the seven downvotes you've received.

Evans' rant against Kim sounds like "money is no object".

Kim made me have extra gray hairs since last January. She also caused me to have to drink an extra cup of coffee yesterday.
