James Lloyd suing Christians in the name of Jesus
James Lloyd has maintained that Craig Portwood lied about him in the essay; Prophecy for Sale: The Hidden History of Christian Media Network. Yet, he lost the lawsuit and yet the essay remains. Get the picture?
The History
In 2000, James Lloyd dba CMN successfully drew me into broadcasting on his Christian Media Network, away from on radio station WINB and eventually away from my job in Jacksonville Oregon as well.
I worked for him and Susan Lenox of the Sound Body broadcast, as an on site radio show producer. In May of 2002, I left Christian Media Network.

Shortly thereafter, in October of 2002, James Lloyd, owner of the Jacksonville Oregon based "The James Lloyd Group, "Christian Media Network"® and publisher of the "Christian Media Newspaper©, the "Christian Media Currents"© newsletter, the "Apocalypse Chronicles"© Newsletter, the "Sound Body"© Newsletter, and host the the daily, 2 hour radio broadcast "The Apocalypse Chronicles"© (which Mr. Lloyd himself describes as an "attack ministry"), began a smear campaign against me, in an attempt at pre-emptive damage control, with the hope that I would not go public with any information I had gained about him, his wife Susan Lenox, and his commercial enterprise, over the course of my 2 year tenure with him.
That campaign was the catalyst which led me to examine many aspects of Christian Media doctrines, practices, and philosophies which had troubled me, but which my personal loyalty to James Lloyd had prevented at the time.
Beginning in February 2003, rather than to simply refute the accusations point by point, I began to publish a history of what occurred to me during my association with Christian Media Network along with an in depth look into the occult doctrines, hypocritical practices, and perennial false prophecies emanating from the man, using outside sources, documented history, and perhaps most damning of all, the very words of James Lloyd himself.
"A Profit in His Own Words", recorded live from his radio broadcast. These audio files illustrate the false predictions and unscriptural teachings of James Lloyd.
In 2003, James Lloyd began to reissue these 1998 predictions, that America would now be destroyed in June of 2003, then July 4th 2003, and then stated that it must happen before November 14, 2003. Predictably none of these events occurred.
James Lloyd and Sound Body host Susan Lenox fulfill something very, very deadly!

On June 14, 2004, after 7 months of declining sales of his books, tapes, and other merchandise (and two weeks before the start of the re-predicted July 4th 2004 'tribulation"), James Lloyd (dba CHRISTIAN MEDIA NETWORK), filed a $200,000.00 lawsuit against me and 4 unnamed individuals, in an effort to keep his customers from knowing the truth about him and his operation. This is a record of that lawsuit. Oddly enough, the complaint admitted several points I had made in the report "Prophecy for Sale" over which he sued.Among the admissions are the fact that CHRISTIAN MEDIA NETWORK is a business entity which is registered with the government (which James Lloyd calls "The Beast"), that his listeners are considered to be "customers" with whom James Lloyd has a "financial relationship", and that Christian Media Network was not begun to spread the gospel of our Savior but instead, is in place so that James Lloyd and Susan Lenox can make a financial profit using the faith of believers as a vehicle for that end.
Also revealed during the lawsuit are admissions by James Lloyd and Susan Lenox that they have been "substance (drug) abusers" within the "last 10 years" and that they are "hypocrites" (their lawyers words) because they lived together, unmarried for at least 4 years, all during the time they were engaged in "Christian Ministry". This was the same period of time when Susan Lenox filed a restraining order, seeking protection from James after a drunken rape attempt during which James destroyed her property and assaulted her physically.
In his initial filing, there are several references to internet "Bulletin Boards" (which have since been removed from the internet under threats) which I did not control, which mocked James Lloyd and some of his "Clients".
In another interesting development, while claiming that he has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in "profits", Mr. Lloyd himself has stated publicly that he PAYS NO INCOME TAXES however, it seems as though the umbrella organization "The James Lloyd Group" of which few of his followers are aware, DOES PAY INCOME TAXES . He has also stated under oath, in open court that he has a six figure income from his mail order company.
In an even stranger development, James Lloyd and Susan Lenox sued Linda Kristich for an additional $200,000.00 and fought successfully to have any mention of the Holy Bible removed from the court proceedings. You can read about James Lloyd's attack upon the Bible by following this link.. An Oregon jury (of Lloyd's own choosing) returned a verdict against him, finding James Lloyd guilty of defaming Linda "WITH MALICE"!
Malice is defined as:
1: A desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another.
2 : An intent to commit an unlawful act or cause harm without legal justification or excuse.
