Thread: You add it up ......

Add up all the money invested in Pips , 5 yr plan , 3% , 2% blah blah blah .
Add up all the millions of hours spent by members on forums like these seeking a little ray of hope .
Add up all the hope ordinary people had .
Add up all the friends and extended family people were planning to help .
Thats a lot of wasted money , hours and effort if pips can't deliver . The decision has to be made one way or the other . Pips crumbles and we get on with our lives or something concrete is done .
BM and co are quickly losing any credibility and soon will get to a point of no return .

why don't go to your mom and cry a little?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

My friend,

I think you have already lost all your credibility on this forum!

s/bob

Let them be comfortable, what right do you have to step into their face and tell them otherwise. We/they are all big and old enough to know what is going on without you having to ram stuff like this in people's faces.

The nerve of some people. :roll:

If one more colleague gushes about the Portugal shindig , gloats about how much ROL they will be up to by Dec 05 , dreamily waffles on about how he's keeping Pips a secret from his family and how they,re all gonna get nice a/cs for Xmas , starts to plan to leave for retirement factoring in future earnings from Pips ........... I am gonna scream .

Yeah I know they re all big mature people etc etc , but I hate being the person who is continually pricking their balloons , dismantling their dreams .
I would rather see them dissapointed know that suffering later . Hey , I hope I'm wrong and Pips blooms , but there are thousands out there clinging to this dream , whether we like it or not .

I spoke to a nice lady the other day who I knew was in Pips . Tentatively enquired about her a/c .
Her face lit up , and said she doesn't look at her Pips at all . She has a goal for June next year , set the a/c to 100% wdraw , go overseas , pay her house etc etc . And her 5 yr plan . Oh the 3 a/cs would mean she and her children were in a good position to collect in a few years after struggling as a single parent .

I nodded , smiled , wished her well and toddled quietly and sadly into the distance , wrestling with myself but deciding not to be the destroyer of her dreams .

Cling to a dream, but move on. That's what I think most of us do.
It's nice to dream, ever tried it?
But that doesn't mean that all Pipsters are on a cloud. Most Pipsters have other irons in the fire and try to do their best to diversify...........

You do not have to be the one pricking their balloons. If you do, you have to take the heat from the more positive Pipsters.

Are you a member of PIPS by the way? :?

Hi lutwyche,

because I'm not a native english speaker, I don't know what this name can be.
Maybe, my glasses are not strong enough to see this correctly.
But now I copied and pasted in :D
Hope, this is correct now.

Otherwise, it don't change the meanig of my message.
I've been with PI/P*Ps since August 2002.
At that time there where just a small hope to get a program which will really paying.
PI paid me already more back than I've ever spent.

All of us (I hope you too) know, that we put money to a program which can work or not.
I met of lot people in Malaysia and Hawaii, different in age, knowledge and their situation.
I spoke with Brian, Sharon and people more than once.
They are all working for all of us with their possible power.

This will not mean, that no failure may occur, they are human as we are.
I think, the picture of P*Ps will change, but we all will have a chance for a future, better than ever.

So please, stopp arguing and crying.
Sit down and still wait for facts.

Greetings

ok and in the mean time it looks like three new 5 star restaurants were built , one had a grand opening on Aug. 10th that we were not informed about. It appears OUR money is being spent on the owners personal endeavours. So I agree there is a lot of trust broken and it will take alot of WDs to members to make it up and quickly.
The companys record shows poorly as members were never the first concern.
I have to face all that I am seeing on every forum and realize we are trying to hold on to the ship but that it really appears to be sinking.
I wish for the best for all of us. I feel so sorry for the woman who has NO IDEA her dream is probably gone. We know the 5 year program is gone.
And who knows the fate of our pips accounts. She thinks she has made a wise investment. What a surprize to try to find the website and log in and it is gone.
My heart is sad for her.
We can only hope and pray that Bryan gets a conscience real soon and does the right thing.
