Surprisingly the friends over at the Spanish Forum view this situation from a different angle and they think that what this gentleman is doing is providing a great service to the ex JW community. Is like or similar to James Bond "license to kill"; Cedars has a "license to fleece".

committees
by dogisgod ini have had some conversations with ex-jw women and i am more than a little concerned at how, if a female, is treated in committee meetings.
it sure seems (i experienced this when i was young) that the elders have a commonality in trying to create such shame and sexual guilt (especially where none is deserved) that it is beyond abuse.
i know there are a lot of former elders here.

\Why don't the people on those threads you linked to, the actual people he was openly discussing his ideas with, seem nearly as butthurt by his book ideas as the people here today?
Maybe is because what he is doing today is completely different to what he was exploring at that time.

He asks translators to work for free? While charging people to include their stories in his book?
Seems like he's a bit of a user and people are getting wise to him.sly: it looks like this group at the Spanish forum are not getting wiser to him, they try to justify his antics as needed for the cause of the "resistance"; the man can do no wrong. I am just getting tired of their arguments and about to give up.

This was the description of the person involved:
digo... ser(por cortos dias, finalmente renuncie) un traductor oficial de parte del libro de Cedars? renuncie por considerar una injusticia se pusiera muy duro con la distribucion gratuita de su libro en ingles del Apostata reluctante. tenia yo una copia escaneada del libro (en ingles). por andar de bocon, dije que ya tenia una copia. el se irrito y armo todo un escandalo par aperseguir al creador/distribuidor de la copia. personalmente, si usa los servicios GRATUITOS de otros compañeros, para evitar pagar un servicio que su valor superaba llos 5 mil dolares, no debiera ser tan quisquilloso sobre que circulen copias de su libro gratuitas.
Google translation
I say ... be (for short days, finally give up) an official translator for part of Cedars' book? resign for considering an injustice would get very hard with the free distribution of his book in English of Reluctant Apostata. I had a scanned copy of the book (in English). for bocon walk, I said I already had a copy. He got irritated and set up a scandal to pursue the creator / distributor of the copy. personally, if you use the FREE services of other colleagues, to avoid paying a service whose value exceeded $ 5,000, you should not be so fussy about circulating free copies of your book.

The matter of the infringement on the COC copyright is very interesting, at the Spanish Forum there is a group of friends that are translating Cedar's book to Spanish. One of them got a full copy online and he made the mistake of telling Cedars, his reaction was quite explosive; the individual put a copy of their exchange online and here is the link:

Some of friends stopped translating and others are going ahead with their portion of the book.

I just feel because exitting jw's can be so vulnerable to hero worship, they need to know their stories are worth so much more than a name check at the back of an ambitious you tubers pamphlet.I like this, it makes a lot of sense; I just saw a comment comparing Cedars book with Crisis of Conscience. To me that is quite a leap, his book is just a copy and paste of all the discussions about the Watchtower doctrines and failures, you can find this in the net for free.
