Watchtower Spy?

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA) has released a public document about investigations into abuse and were reviewing applications and renewals of applications for persons who wanted to be involved in the investigation into the Jehovah's Witnesses (JW) as core participants, not just as observers or providing anecdotal material. The IICSA is independent of government and focuses primarily on England and Wales for their investigations.

One such application to be a core participant in the proceedings was for the YouTuber, James Lloyd Evans or Lloyd Evans, a.k.a., John Cedars, who would pull the plug immediately on his channel if YouTube stopped monetizing videos. Oh wait, he does badger his viewers constantly for money when the man does not work for a living, and never has, at least nothing is detailed in his almost 600 page manifesto he published using other people's money, including his wife's and JW in-laws' money. He is a house-husband that lives in his JW in-laws' basement and comes up for air when they leave the house. He has detailed their shunning him inside his home? Uh no, inside THEIR home. 

Evans also receives alleged funding from the Bible Students and Scientologists, who he had alleged ties with from the start of his rise to ex-JW fame and not much fortune. It's been alleged he joined the Scientologists and networked with the likes of Mike Rinder. Both Rinder and Evans were ousted from their respective organizations. The Scientologists have a core study and marketing model of using surveys to expand their business opportunities which was how Evans first marketed his blog calling it JW Survey.

To put this into context, reference this recent YouTube video talking about the IICSA and wanting to move forward with investigating the JWs' policies.

Excerpts:

Page 47

"You know from his application that Mr Evans is a former member and a former elder of the Jehovah's Witnesses. That in itself is valuable experience which many others may not have, but he is also a great deal more than that. He is somebody, I think it's right to say, who is the only full-time ex-Jehovah's Witness advocate in the world. His day job solely involves keeping abreast of the latest developments within the Jehovah's Witnesses across the board, across the whole spectrum of the religion, but also including, specifically, its policies on child sex abuse and how these are impacting on the lives of victims and survivors. We set out in the application his extensive writings and his extensive documentary films on exactly those issues, and the simple fact is that nobody is spending as much time as he is on analysing what's going on in the Jehovah's Witnesses now and nobody has written  and researched it as extensively as he has."

Page 48

"...Mr Evans is, so his knowledge and his huge expertise is crucial if this inquiry is to be a meaningful inquiry...So, chair, that's the basis of our application. We say that it's simply wrong to say that Mr Evans doesn't have a significant interest. The work that he does, the research that he has done, the publications that he's written, the documentaries that he's made, all  demonstrate not only that he has a significant interest and has played a significant role, but he has probably done so to a far greater extent than almost any other ex-Jehovah's Witness activist worldwide and, on that basis, it's only right that he should have core participant status."

-End of Excerpts-

Day job is right. Evans cannot hold down a real job and is supported by his alleged ex-JW wife and alleged current JW in-laws. His knowledge and "huge expertise" of the inner working of the Watch Tower is because he was subject to disciplinary action for allegedly abusing his position as an Elder in the congregation, allegedly sexting girls and women both inside his congregation and in other congregations. Evans was forcibly ousted from the JW organization. He has a problem with the JWs' rigid rules on sexting and viewing pornography, and with being allowed to freely sexually pleasure himself as he talks about in his book, his blog, and in his various YouTube videos. 

As documented on his YouTube channel [unless it has since been deleted] Evans refused to audio tape his judicial committee meeting and had to take an over-the-counter sedative to have the courage to show up, because why? We can only suppose it was because he was truly a predator that not only needed to be stripped of being an Elder in a leadership position, but his actions may have been criminal depending on the country. This is conjecture since Evans refused to provide any proof of any judicial committee proceedings. Some insiders are alleging the whole Elder Body meeting with Evans never took place. He sat in his car recording himself for his YouTube channel pretending to be waiting to go inside to speak with the Elders and delivering disassociation letters for himself and his wife. Right, some are alleging the whole thing was faked for his blog, YouTube channel and later for his giant book when in reality, Evans refused to show up for any judicial committee hearing(s) either in England or Croatia where he now lives.

Since Lloyd Evans has no interest in the IICSA inquiries, meaning, he is not personally involved as he never claimed he was a victim of abuse and has no personal knowledge of anyone suffering abuse, he should not be allowed to participate in the proceedings as anyone having any special knowledge or expertise that millions of ex-JWs don't also possess. 

All Evans has are unsubstantiated claims from alleged victims of abuse who he interviews on his monetized YouTube channel to gain views, clicks, likes, and subscribers. His IICSA application should be denied as a core participant, which could be a blow to the Watch Tower leadership wanting intel on proprietary information. Yes, it could be very important for Evans to have knowledge of the inner workings of the inquiries, to know exactly the behind-the-scenes conversations, evidence, and facts so he can share it with his Watchtower contacts. He already demonstrated in one of his public YouTube videos that he has Governing Body Member Anthony "Tony" Morris' personal phone number. I am only guessing that Tony would want a heads up on what's happening with the IICSA.

It has already been established that Evans is supported by the Bible Students via his patreon account, and as blogged about, his buddy the Bible Student got Evans free rein inside the Watch Tower headquarters in New York, and that guy was the one who called the police on the peaceful ex-JW demonstration outside of that headquarters a few years ago and bragged about it on his own YouTube channel where he said to the police that potentially thousands of angry ex-JWs were violent and showing up to storm the tower and he needed to warn those poor JWs! Yes, he had to take down that video because of the real ex-JW community calling him out as a fake and a Watchtower apologist. A lot of these Bible Students still get a kick-back from the proceeds of the Watch Tower corporations, so yeah, there are two camps of Bible Students too.

The Scientologists have a vested interest in the Watchtower since they following the Watchtower's lead on getting tax-free charity status for a "religion" that does not follow the Christ nor the Scriptures, but follows the policies, rules and edicts from a leadership of men in a corporate hierarchy.

Reference a prior blog entry for more information about the incident at the JW headquarters:
https://exjwquietactivism.blogspot.com/2019/06/who-are-you-supporting.html

Watch out who you are supporting on YouTube. Do you really want to see the end of the JW corporation? Or are you secretly hoping to make it into your own personal cash cow? Turn away from the Watch Tower now. Walk out of those prison camps called Kingdom Halls. The Watch Tower wants you interested in their every move, that's how they know the numbers that are interested in them and watch what's trending on YouTube and they are fooling you into thinking they don't have their future all planned out and it is proceeding on course.

This world is rapidly changing. Start focusing on yourself and your family and plot your own course away from the Watchtower and away from alleged Watchtower spies who are spying on you too.

Who Are You Supporting?

If you may be thinking about leaving the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) you may turn to YouTube to find out the history of the Society or just to hear people relate their stories of being in the organization and how they have left and turned to, well, atheism. This is exactly what the Society wants you to do. They do not want you going off and giving monetary support to another religion, they want you sitting home doubting the existence of a God or Gods who created heaven and earth. They want you sitting home doing nothing but maybe indulge in self-pity and not do much else to move on with your life.

I work full-time and support myself and have a great group of friends that never were JWs. We love our weekend shopping trips and choosing new travel destinations each year. I like to express myself via this blog. It's a way to vent and hopefully help someone who leaves the Society not feel so alone and I always try and encourage readers to seek their own life path, and become spiritual, not necessarily religious or turn to another religious group. Open up to many belief systems and start reading many books on various subjects to discover new interests or pursue hobbies or sports that you never could when you were a JW.

However, let's revisit 2017 and the self-proclaimed leader of the ex-JWs, a person who was barely an Elder before being forcibly evicted from the position and faced disfellowshipping or he could simply quit and move out of his home congregation. He did the second part, he got out of the country and lives off his wife and his JW in-laws while doing what? Well, he joined a marketing cult of Scientologists who showed him how to set up a survey as a marketing tool on his blog as a way to gain interest in his articles about his experiences with the JWs and growing up in a JW family and see just how far he could take his marketing cult. It gave him a picture of how many clicks he had on the site and people interested in his stories. He could later gauge how he could harvest those people into dollars. 

Everyone knows now he is affiliated with a Scientologist who was very high up the corporate ladder who was forcibly evicted from that group. There you have a match made in ex-heaven. It is no secret the Scientologists use a survey as a part of their problem solving techniques and in their training courses. It's a part of their corporate structure and they train people how to use surveys to boost their market reach and sales in their businesses.

Many years ago, this YouTuber was contacted by a group from the bloodline of the original Bible Students that was started by C.T. Russell. The descendants of that original group of Bible students became shareholders in what was later to become the Watch Tower Society. One of these persons is a patron of this YouTuber and escorted him into the JW Society headquarters at Warwick, NY, in 2017. You see, no one can gain entrance unless you work there or have business to conduct, or are affiliated with a JW congregation and are a part of a scheduled tour group that charter a bus to take a tour of the facility.

This was not the case with this YouTuber because his escort was one of the family ancestors of the original Bible Students; one of the overlapping generations of Bible Students. They both even dressed off the street as scruffy tourists and gained easy access due to his ancestral blood ties. It's common knowledge that when JWs or anyone who gains access to Warwick as a part of a scheduled tour, dresses in business casual clothing. If you are a JW, normally the women all wear dresses when touring the facility; again, a scheduled tour, not just showing up at the gates and immediately being allowed entrance and being allowed to film the entire thing for what? Oh, the ex-JW reluctant apostate's YouTube channel, of course!!! Are you getting it yet?

This same ex-Bible Student who escorted the YouTuber around Warwick was the one who made his own video in 2017 bragging about phoning the local police that a large group of dangerous ex-JWs were going to protest at the Warwick facility. Some people may have heard of the Six Screens of the Watchtower website and they host a live show every Saturday evening and every other Sunday afternoon. Rick Fearon is one of the founders of the Six Screens and he participated in a peaceful protest at Warwick, holding up signs and such and broadcast live from the event for his listeners.

Are these Bible Students or JWs? Hard to tell. Peter Bonacci did a video in 2017 that he later
deleted, bragging about how he called the cops on Rick Fearon and the other protesters
who showed up at Warwick, holding up signs and Rick did a livestream from the
peaceful gathering of only about 20 or so people. Bonacci told police that thousands were
showing up and were violent. I guess he had to exaggerate or the police would have ignored him as a nut caller.
Bonacci made sure to tell the brothers at Warwick how he was related to almost everyone in a group
photo of the original Bible Students either by blood or marriage, that was a part of an exhibit at Warwick
showing the history of the Watch Tower Society.

Here is a link to a YouTube video about the Warwick protest that has not yet been deleted:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFhr9onBDRk

I met this reluctant apostate YouTuber on his big book tour of the United States where he revealed that he sides with Watch Tower, that 1975 as being talked about as the time of the end and when Armageddon would occur, was from the disgruntled membership having nothing to do with the Governing Body. It was made up by the JW rank and file. Yeah, me and a few people walked out after that little gem. Time to go home and be glad we met this guy in person; a Watch Tower cloned drone.

Wake up to the fact you were taken by the Watch Tower corporation. They took your youth, your money, and denied you an education and a secure future in this world. Do not be taken again by a marketing cult. They scout for a certain age group, start producing the same canned videos, and there you go, they take your time and your money while you have nothing to show for it. 

Why was this YouTuber so loudly protesting against the Russian ban of the JWs? Because the Scientologists are terrified of religions being banned. Reportedly, the JWs were the model used by the Scientologists to get tax exempt status. Scientologists have a hard time in other countries being accepted as a religion, just like the JWs. It's been alleged that this YouTuber is working on a paid position as a Watch Tower liaison to move towards a newly formed religion modeled after Scientology where you can do all of your study and courses online as well as access lectures and public talks online. They want a fully functioning JW network where you can speak with an instructor on the phone, email or Skype and you pay for the service via monetary donations depending on your level and working through the programs offered. It's been talked about that the JWs will retain some meeting halls for conventions since those are money-makers and may retain some local small Kingdom Halls as a resource center and get people enrolled in the online courses, and so forth. 

Notice JW.org is already set up online to take automatic donations from your credit card. It will evolve into the Scientology model, that's the goal. Maximum dollars - oh, and you will be asked for donations for all that literature and videos they provide, much like this YouTuber does who sits around in his in-laws basement all day making useless videos about the Watch Tower and demands you pay him to keep doing it to keep his shareholders happy. How many people are in that marketing cult of his? Who knows but a lot are getting a piece of that pie.

You woke up from the JW fog, now's the time to wake up from the ex-JW community fog. I have said it before on this blog. You are strong enough to leave the Society on your own. You are strong enough to focus on yourself, your education, your job, and your family. If you left family in the Watch Tower, do not look back, save yourself and hopefully they will learn from you and they will take notice how you are thriving outside of the organization. You are not disheveled stuffing yourself into jeans that are two sizes too small since you rarely move off the couch with no motivation to wash that greasy hair, wasting your life away in front of a video camera doing useless commentary about some boring Watch Tower convention talk.

You are better than that. Think about where you are right now and where you want to be this time next year. Is it with a better job? Maybe actually meeting new people face to face and not via Facebook with fake names and fake profiles. Invest in yourself and you will find that life is meaningful again, and you can be a spiritual person without attaching yourself to any religious group or theology. Depression comes when you do not feel a connection with your own infinity. You are an infinite being, and this life is worth living now and who knows what amazing things are in store for us. Don't let anyone take God from you; it's your choice, your life, don't be afraid to live it now.

Chinks in the Armor

Here we are in a new year while many Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) are having a crisis over saying Happy New Year to someone who wishes them the same thing as this is the kind of nonsense the Watchtower corporation has its membership obsessed with. 

When I was a JW, I would fret over someone wishing me a happy holiday and new year, gosh, would God strike me dead if I wished the same happy greeting to a worldly person? But, maybe it will open a door for me to preach to them and try and snag them into a religion with no exit door. 

That was how we were forced to think around the stressful holidays. Stressful not because we were caught up in the excitement of the season or searching for a nice gift for a loved one. No, it was because we had to remain separate from the world or die at the battle of Armageddon that would happen any day now, even though many religious people believe that is a spiritual war and that we are saved by the Grace of God and the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

So many YouTube channels have popped up by those claiming to be ex-JWs when it is obvious they are following an easy script and dialogue since many were only barely affiliated with the JW religion, if at all. One prominent YouTuber found a way to personal freedom via his Scientology affiliations and was featured in a Leah Remini/Mike Rinder cable TV show about cults. He used a survey format for his blog which is a common tactic of the Scientologists. They practically invented that marketing ploy. This is called a chink in the armor. Not all people are what they claim to be.  

Watchtower has a chink in their armor too. They claim to not celebrate any worldly holidays since they are based in paganism, and have roots in worshiping Lucifer. Even Christmas lights outside of a home is to beckon Lucifer to your home. In the old days before electricity, people would have candles burning in their windows for the Yuletide festival from December 21 - January 1. 

Watchtower bans anything relating to the worship of Lucifer yet demand a blood sacrifice from their membership on an altar [a hospital bed or operating table] by denying blood transfusions for medical reasons to save a life. Watchtower demands you have no contact with anyone who was a baptized JW and decides to leave. You may say that is really not a chink in their armor, but think about it, they view you as a follower of Satan the Devil, Lucifer, if you leave the Watchtower corporation. Is that a warped view of matters? Yes, in most cases, unless you were ousted from the JWs because you were a crook or preyed upon the congregation abusing your position as a Elder via sexting the girls and women in your Hall looking to hook up while married. I know, sometimes Watchtower gets it right.

The confusion with the JWs comes with their teaching to shun the Devil and anyone who leaves the organization [since they are now following the Devil just by their leaving], they shun all pagan holidays yet demand a blood sacrifice. Even their annual death mass to remember the death of Jesus Christ is a chink in their armor. Only those anointed by God can partake of the emblems when the Bible says anyone can, it depends on their heart condition at the time. The JWs also do not celebrate the resurrection of the Christ, only remember his death because they worship Jehovah and Christ is pushed off to one side.

I hope this year brings more clarity into your life as you take a second look at who you are following on YouTube who claim to be ex-JWs or who claim prominence as an authority when they were kicked out at about 25 years old and pretended to turn in their resignation letter to the Body of Elders since they thought it would make good copy for their online survey site or their YouTube channel. 

I hope you gain clarity with the fact that you can leave the Watchtower corporation and you can begin a life for yourself no matter what your age or economic status. Do not simply turn on the TV and expect salvation. Do not simply tune in to the Internet and expect salvation. It starts with you. Think about where you are right now and where you want to be by the end of 2019. How will this year read for you? Did you take that class you wanted to at the community college? Did you decide to take that job in another town or country? Did you decide to devote more time to personal development, picking up books about spirituality?

So funny about one ex-JW woman who frequently phones into a weekly Saturday Internet livestream program dealing with leaving the Watchtower. She claims to not care that her elderly JW mom is leaving millions of dollars of her estate to the Watchtower corporation; oh, it's not about the money! Just that she wished her mom would not be so devoted to a corporation that is all about the money and thinking you can pay for your eternal salvation.

Come to find out this was a deception, a chink in this self-righteous ex-JW's armor. She revealed on another online YouTube channel, that she called Social Services to report elder abuse by her JW brother-in-law that is married to her sister, and they are taking care of this million dollar mom. Social Services denied her claim. The brother-in-law stands to inherit a chunk of that money, with a portion going to the Watchtower corporation. This woman also stated that her siblings are JWs and she is not, so they all want her to come up with a legal loophole to get the money away from mom before she dies, or to contest the will. 

Watch out who you are following on YouTube, on the Internet, on any site where they claim to not care about the money. Oh, it's about wanting people out of the Watchtower corporation. No it's not. It really is all about the money. This same woman who frequently cries online about how Watchtower treated her, she was an adult when joining and an adult when leaving. She was not born in and raised in this cult like me and so many others were, who had no choice and our minds warped with the JW mindset and world view.

This same woman claims that the second this online weekly show begins talking about God, she slams down her phone. Yes, I know, it's because many who leave the Watchtower become Luciferian. They cannot stand anyone bringing up the Bible, God or Christ, it is a physical reaction and one I find extremely bizarre. I can talk about most subjects unless they are particularly gross or low class, but I can entertain discussions on the Bible, atheism, spirituality, mythology, and all other kinds of topics. I do not fear any discussions and it doesn't turn my stomach to bring up mainstream religion or talk about God or Christ. Again, this is a chink is someone's armor. It is a red flag.

Eventually you find out you no longer need to constantly obsess over other people's stories. You start to focus on your own life story and slowly you will see your own path unfolding before your eyes. Stop looking for external help. You can help yourself but it must start with a thought, a feeling, inside of you to better yourself. Now is the time to turn off the television, turn off other people's conversations, and take pen to paper and start a plan for 2019. You will never regret focusing on yourself for a change. Something the Watchtower corporation fears you will do. They love the constant YouTube chatter with everyone obsessing over their every move with the endless dumb commentary about their monthly videos that are on JW.org. 

Nope, that is not you this year. Do you want the Watchtower to crumble? Turn away from it and turn away from the phonies who pretend to want the JW religion to come to an end. It means the end of themselves too since they have built nothing since leaving the Watchtower. They have nothing, are empty inside, but this is not you. Start now searching for your own spiritual path.
