Bullying you :toofunny: what a friggin joke. It is YOU that is bullying. Just like that crap last night about the kids. Trying to make ME feel guilty and responsible for the situation they are in. It is NOT my fault. I am sorry I dont agree with you and your 'cute' little poems that you always post on here. But I can promise you ONE thing. Life is not as peachy as you "let on" like it is. In one breath you carry on with your lame attemp at uplifting people and keeping them postive and then in the next breath you are blaming us because some kids are less fortunate than we are. We are supposed to just let Bryan have his way and that be ok just because there are others who are less fortunate. Well I DONT THINK SO HONEY!
Now, this is the last post I will make in the PIPS section of rolclub. I can NO LONGER DEAL with this very BS that you are ****ing out to people SM. Your holier than thou BS makes me sick!
Go out to save the world SM and then come back and blame what you find on me, just because I want my money from Bryan. Is that ok with you? Why are you here exactly? Could it be that you also are interested in getting your money? HMMMM well what about the less fortunate? Shouldnt you just give up your PIPS account, I mean after all there are those less fortunate than us, right? If that isnt a reason to just LET Bryan keep our money then I dont know what is......right? :ro_emote: What a damn joke!
Goodbye!

And how many REALLY believe after all this time, and obvious lack of respect for members, that PIPs has only good intentions for people that filled their tills, then decided to keep them in the dark until................ well, until sometime soon?
hi all
everybody has an opinion and i have viewed mine.
basically if nobody cant say anything positive in this trying time please its not worth fighting over speculation.until bryan has come back on line and posted what we want to know/or not try and keep your cool lets turn this forum back into a decent site for decent and honest pipsters.
or otherwise the management above will close this site like last time and i will be in the dark again.
daz
maybe I need to clarify my 'cheerleading'... I'm not doing this for Bryan's / Pips sake... I cheer to encourage hope.... where there is no hope, there is despair.... style and the other naysayers may like to keep people despairing.... I, and many others here, like to give hope.Quote:

'It's over... go home all of you cheerleading cultists... (your ignorance here on this forum makes me stress)' ... post like this.... and plan on offending some people.... duh.
for every action.... there is a equal re-action.
how about this instead...
I'm afraid its over... imho. we may as well all get on with our lives...(I don't even know how to reword the 'ignorance' phrase to make it nice)...
for me personally, it's not an issue of Pips and or Bryan.... it's an issue of old fashioned MANNERS and respect....
it does take an effort to be nice.... maybe that's the problem...

Then learn the harder, braver rule, "Do Good."

why is that so necessary?.... why do people want to encourage despair?
I just don't understand.... :redface:
People need to start preparing themselves for reality, especially the blind devotees because if pips doesnt return and Bryan is held accountable under the law those very people may never recover psychologically.Quote:

and besides.... we can all only guess how it will turn out... know one knows for sure...
please excuse my optimism.... it is a God given gift...
OICU812,
If there's anyone on this forum that doesn't deserve abuse, it is, to say the least, second mouse.
I am not a great fan of what 's going on with PIPs, as anyone who reads my posts could attest to.
But I'll give second mouse all my support. She always comes in during "tension-filled" discussions, and tries to quell the storm with humor, or common sense. Can't say I always understand the quotes, though.
I'd say, if you wanna pick on somebody, or yell, there's alot better candidates than second mouse.
Shoot, I even read somewhere that she likes dogs that talk, and that's says alot for a mouse.
Personnally I think everyone should wait before investing anymore of their money into anything that has to do with pips. Bryan has a lot of explaining to do if it is Bryan who is posting on this forum. I mean how can you be sure and can you trust that your money in a new adventure might be another scam? I think everyone should use some logic here. The end of the road is closing fast and I for one am standing by watching and waiting. Gator
Thank you drgibble,Quote:

Really? What about the payment details. He has got the same address still. It was paid for in 2005....by the same owner.Quote:

Sorry to answer you inside your post, but the thread was running so well.
You see I have a little problem with the logic you are applying here, but only with regards to HALotto. HALotto is going to be run on the same licens as the old Pipsaid and that we do know was paid for by BM.......
Do you understand what I mean, or am I messing it up? :wink:
I was a transfer from GW into PIPS. I attended the first convention in Malaysia. The reason I went was because of Bryan Marsden and what he wanted the members to achieve through PIPS. He wanted us all to experience a better life and help those we love to have a better life also. I still believe Bryan wanted to help as many people as he could.
I also attended the convention in Hawaii. I made that trip of course to see a beautiful part of my country, but also to show my continued support for PIPS and Bryans vision. Even though the WD situation continued to plague the company and its membership, I still believed that Bryan and the PIPS staff would get things headed into the right direction. I still believed that Bryan's vision of helping those less fortunate was strong and this awesome opportunity would emerge from the storm of WD problems.
I also traveled to Vegas and St Louis to show my support and to keep up as close as possible on the news about PIPS. Of course at those 2 meetings during Bryan's world tour...everything was still steaming right along. My PIPS world was perfect.
I would be the first to admit that Bryan has never been the greatest at public relations. His release of updates with real usable information has always been few and far between. Trying to put a timeframe to his use of the word soon has always been difficult at best and impossible at worse. However, up until early 2005, everything the man ever said that would happen had always seemed to come to be.
While I am still not entirely clear on what happened between PIPS and HSBC, any further explaination of what has transpired since and the reasons for delayed payments and such have been as far as I am concerned......very sketchy at best. I have, as time has passed, come to believe that Bryan has avoided telling the very membership that willingly continued to send his company money and support his so called vision, any acceptible level of truth.
I do think that had he been up front with the problems that plagued PIPS ability to fill WD request, he could have possibly avoided to a great extent the situation that we are all in now and that he and Sharon are having to live with.
My hope that somehow PIPS can be revived in some type of restructured program fades with each passing day and week. I still try to continue and hold on to a little ray of hope that things can be turned around. I don't see where arguing between members no matter if you still believe or not helps anyones situation.
I will say this in closing....there was a time when Bryan and PIPS allowed me to enjoy life to its very fullest. I met new friends that nobody can take away from me. I saw places in this world and experienced culture like I had only dreamed about. My eyes wittnessed smiles from a people I will most likely never see again and I truely believe I saw a small piece of heaven in my own country called Hawaii because of PIPS.
If we have seen PIPS better days and stand before the final curtain that will fall on this program....then so be it. I still thank God for allowing me to have Bryan in my life, if only for a while. I still believe his intentions were always for the good and that somehow, for some reason beyond his control even, that events happened that changed the course that he had hoped this company and its members would take.
Hold on to the friends you have made through PIPS. Never let the light burn out on hope completely. Yet in so doing, we all have to keep our feet planted in reality and except whatever the future brings us as far as PIPS is concerned.

A Reflection....
The Power of Love Among People - "Twenty Special Secrets"
(From "Mystic Path to Cosmic Power" by Vernon Howard)
1. When two people meet, the prize always goes to the one with the most self-insight. He will be calmer, more confident, more at ease with the other.
2. Never permit the behavior of other people to tell you how to feel.
3. Pay little attention to what people say or do. Instead, try to see their innermost motive for speaking and acting. (Now, apply this very same rule to yourself and you become an enlightened person!)
4. Any friendship requiring the submission of your original nature and dignity to another person is all wrong.
5. Mystically speaking, there is no difference between you and another person. This is why we cannot hurt another without hurting ourselves, nor help another without helping ourselves.
6. When we are free of all unnecessary desires toward other people, we can never be deceived or hurt.
7. You take a giant step toward psychological maturity when you refuse to angrily defend yourself against unjust slander. For one thing, resistance disturbs your own peace of mind.
8. You understand others to the exact degree that you really understand yourself. Work for more self-knowledge.
9. Do not be afraid to fully experience everything that happens to you in your human relations, especially the pains and disappointments. Do this, and everything becomes clear at last.
10. The individual who really knows what it means to love has no anxiety when his love is unseen and rejected.
11. If you painfully lose a valuable friend, do not rush out at once for a replacement. Such action prevents you from examining your heartache and breaking free of it.
12. Do not be afraid to be a nobody in the social world. This is a deeper and richer truth than appears on the surface.
13. Every unpleasant experience with another person is an opportunity to see people as they are, not as we mistakenly idealize them. The more unpleasant the other person is, the more he can teach you.
14. You can be so wonderfully free from a sense of injury and injustice that you are surprised when you hear others complain of them.
15. We cannot recognize a virtue in another person that we do not possess in ourselves. It takes a truly loving and patient person to recognize those virtues in another.
16. Do not mistake desire for love. Desire leaves home in a frantic search for one gratification after another. Love is at home with itself.
17. There are parts of you that want the loving life and parts that do not. Place yourself on the side of your positive forces; do all you can to aid and encourage them.
18. You must stop living so timidly, from fixed fears of what others will think of you and of what you will think of yourself.
19. Do not contrive to be a loving person; work to be a real person. Being real is being loving.
20. The greatest love you could ever offer to another is to so transform your inner life that others are attracted to your genuine example of goodness.
Peace to all,
Larry
Your heart is in the right place my friend!...but you are definately having a small fight with your brain!...Quote:

What is life without some degree of hope? Regardless if others consider it foolish or sincere, what we believe is ours to own, and doesn't need to be proven by anyone.
Thanks for your post Jeff.
wishing us all success,

Ditto. Things are going to get better (and more civil) soon.Quote:

Dealing With Criticism and Difference in Opinion
Robert Elias Najemy
Why this is important
We often become emotionally disturbed during a disagreement, or an argument, or when someone criticizes us or disagrees with us. In such cases our personality usually feels hurt, demeaned and in danger.
When we feel this way, we destroy our own happiness, clarity and health and often behave in ways which we later regret.
A simple technique for gaining clarity is to:
1. Remember that concerning criticism, there are two possibilities:
a. The other person might be correct in his or her observations and criticism. In this case we would benefit by admitting it and making the proper adjustment in our behavior. We have everything to gain by listening and evolving through others¹ comments. What prevents us is the belief that we are not lovable if we are not perfect. Thus, we do not want to see or admit our faults. When we realize that we are worthy of love and respect even when we are not perfect or right, then we will be able to look at our faults.
b. The other person might be wrong. In this case, it is his or her projection, and we need not be affected by these misconceptions or projections. We have in this case the lesson of loving ourselves and also the others even when they perceive us in distorted and negative ways.
2. One solution would be simply not to react one way or the other at first, but to reflect upon what has been said for some time so as to evaluate whether or not it is true.
We can establish a space in our minds where we can store such questions about our personality structure or actions so as to observe objectively for ourselves if they are true. If they are not, then we simply continue on in the way we were.
We need not feel hurt, angry, defend ourselves, prove ourselves, or attack. When we feel inner security and self-worth, we do not need to react in these ways.
3. We can simply thank the other for this feedback and tell him or her that we will think about this observation and will gradually come to our conclusions, and if necessary, make changes.
We do not need to live our lives in accordance with others perceptions. We can listen to all, but follow ourselves.
Note:
A "thank you" is enough.
Be Well!!
Peace to all,
Larry
