I, for one, am very interested in
all that this forum has to offer but am somewhat at a disadvantage to respond to some of it as I'm not as well read on the subjects as others.
And I am
very gracious at how we have been welcomed.
Thanks You Guys!!
I can't speak for everyone but as far as I'm concerned, the philosophy is mute here as that is not why we are here.
We aren't here to push our philosophy and other than me commenting on the thirty year old thing in heaven and someone asking us if we thought Sylvia was psychic do I recall our philosophy coming up too much on our part...I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong and I will, once again, sit corrected.
I understand athiesm, agnosticism and all that. It's what makes people interesting!! Everyone has the right to believe what they want to and that has nothing with why we are here.
I believe that when we all see a person such as Sylvia Browne and her Novus Corporation taking people for their money (lots of money although they gave in willingly to the scam) and giving such damaging information to people who believe (and would believe with or without SB) or who are
so desperate for answers that they will swallow anything at the time, that it is the right thing to do. Expose it and end it once and for all.
Not because they are our enemies but because it's the right thing to do.
You don't have to be religious or even believe in a God to do the right thing for your fellow human beings. If you see a man about to get hit by a car, it doesn't matter what your beliefs are...you do your best to get him out of the way of the car, right? (unless he just stole your wallet in which case, let the car hit him so you can get your wallet back)
And, if I'm not mistaken, we are all aiming for that, aren't we?
Getting the charlatan off the streets?
You could be saving a relative or a friend or a future girlfriend or boyfriend...you never know!
Having been one who was taken by Novus (not monetarily but by time, which is valuable to me) I think that I know how the others who have "invaded" (jk

) your forum feel and can say that our only desire is to see if we can help Robert and anyone else interesting in bringing down a charlatan who is scamming people out of their money and breaking their hearts with damaging misinformation.
**In this thread I think that we are trying to find a way amongst ourselves in a place that we feel somewhat safe, to unite ourselves. We know that there are people who will try to figure out who we are and have the Board call us at home and harrass us and I don't know...I kind of feel safe in here.
You guys are awesome at sniffing out a troll and I learn alot!
<sigh>
I'll stop rambling...by now it all probably sounds like blah blah blah but that's just how I feel.
I'm glad I met you all, I'm glad I came forward and I'll be glad to be here long after this chapter is through.
And welcome Ian. You're a brave man but then again, what are the rest of us really afraid of??
