James Knox: A Pathological Liar and Confidence Man

THE HIGH SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENTS OF WHICH JAMES KNOX BOASTED ARE ALL FALSE

On 6/12/22, James Knox gave a sermon called "A Challenge to Young Adults" (above). Knox spent the entire sermon boasting of his high school achievements and if that's not bad enough, the accomplishments for which he boasted are false.

For instance, at 10:55 Knox boasted that he lettered in 4 sports in high school. While showing his congregation his high school sports letter "S", Knox said, "This is my football letter, and my basketball letter, and my track and field letter, and my golf letter..." At 14:48 Knox also boasted, "I was voted President of the Student Body." (He held no such elected office).

James Knox attended New Smyrna Beach High School. The New Smyrna Beach High School yearbook is available online and like any yearbook, the grads' pictures are displayed along with their school accomplishments. James Knox's picture is below.  

THE HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS ACHIEVEMENTS OF WHICH JAMES KNOX BOASTED ARE NOT LISTED IN HIS HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK

Listed below Knox's grad picture is Co-Pres S.G.A., (the Student Government Association for which a student applies. An SGA application can be seen here), Span Club, Interact (a Rotary Club), and I.C.C. (Inter-Club Council). No sports are listed. Though Knox boasted that he lettered in varsity football, basketball, and track, these sports are listed for the other grads, but not for Knox. For example, notice Greg Martin's graduation picture (below), who did participate in football, basketball, and track.

WHY DID JAMES KNOX BRAG OF "BREAKING SEVERAL BASKETBALL SCORING RECORDS" WHEN HE WAS NOT ON THE BASKETBALL TEAM?

Perhaps Knox's varsity football, basketball, and track accomplishments were mistakenly omitted from his graduation picture. Afterall, not only did Knox boast that he lettered in basketball, but at 13:10, he preached of the many basketball scoring records he held: "I broke several school scoring records in basketball and my picture was in the newspaper. What a big deal! I walked around town thinking they were going to ask me for my autograph." Since Knox wasn't on the basketball team (see below), how could he hold any basketball scoring records? Why would Knox's picture be in the newspaper and why would anyone have asked him for his autograph? As seen from his grad picture (above) and from the team picture (below), Greg Martin was, however, on the basketball team.   

WHY DID JAMES KNOX BRAG OF LETTERING IN VARSITY FOOTBALL WHEN HE WAS NOT ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM?

James Knox bragged of lettering in varsity football, but just like basketball, Knox isn't seen in the team picture (below). As seen from his grad picture (above) and from the team picture (below), Greg Martin was, however, on the football team. 

WHY DID JAMES KNOX BRAG OF LETTERING IN TRACK WHEN HE WAS NOT ON THE TRACK TEAM?

Knox bragged that he was on the high school track team and at 11:33, he said, "I was fast; I ran like the wind." As seen in the team photo (below), Greg Martin was on the track team, as this achievement was listed under his graduation picture. James Knox is not listed or pictured as being on the track team.
