The true story of James Lloyd doing business as Christian Media Network

 

 

My name is Craig Portwood.

 

In early 1999 from Jacksonville Oregon, I began a broadcast on international shortwave radio station WGTG in McCaysville Georgia, which became known as the Beacon of Truth.

 

In March of the following year, James Lloyd dba the James Lloyd Group, began the broadcasting company which he named Christian Media Network. In May of that year and at Lloyd's insistence, I moved my broadcast to his network. Little more than a year later, I began working for his network. I left Christian Media Network in May of 2002 under satisfactory terms. A month later, I moved the Beacon of Truth broadcast to radio station WBCQ in Montecello Maine. Unbeknownst to me, James apparently feared loss of "clients", "customers and other such things as the Beacon of Truth has never had nor desired to have.

 

In a move similar to a CIA neutralization campaign, in October of 2002, moved by this apparent fear of damage to his "economic relations", with no warning and without provocation, James Lloyd began a malicious smear campaign on the internet and the radio, against me and a sister, Linda Kristich, in an apparent attempt to destroy the Beacon of Truth ministry. Among other things, Lloyd accused me of being involved in a conspiracy to defraud a man out of his inheritance "...to start a new Christian radio network". In a short space of a few months, I went from being a respected member of the community, to a deranged, marihuana puffing "snake in the grass" who had "run off to shack up" "...with the wife of one of (his) listeners and he implied that I was improperly involved with her 7 year old boy. He said he had proof.

 

When at long last, (5 years later) Lloyd was given an opportunity to present his "evidence" of all of these allegations in court he refused, hiding behind a statute of limitations defense.

 

After suffering three months of vicious cowardly personal attacks of this sort by the Christian Media "ministry", I began writing my recollections of James Lloyd of the Apocalypse Chronicles and Sound Body host Susan Lenox. I began this this website to tell the truth of the matter and tell what Lloyd had done to me. For this, I was sued. At great personal cost did I win the battle for the right to tell this story. This book bears witness to the true nature and spirit of James Lloyd doing business as Christian Media Network. Some may find it impossible to believe that a "ministry" would behave in such way. When Lloyd's vicious campaign against me began, I counted him as a friend. I couldn't believe it either.

 

That Lawsuit begun by James Lloyd dba Christian Media Network, was filed as I was posed to examine the underhanded, sleazy campaign he began against me. That lawsuit, was the vehicle which provided me with much of the documentation I present here. Most notable is the fact that Lloyd and Lenox had to admit in court documents that they had been using drugs over the course of the"... past ten years...". Other admissions include the fact that they lived together for years without the benefit of marriage. Thus, after falsely accusing innocent believers , we discover that James Lloyd and Susan Lenox are guilty of far worse.

 

That this was done as in the story in the book of Esther, by means of a device which Lloyd himself built, was sweet justice, however much the price at which it came. Thus Lloyd creates a poison pill and then threw it into the well. He was made to drink from that well in April of 2007.

 

Impossible you say?
