Maybe you missed the Humanitarian side of it...

As we speak of it...
One can "achieve financial security" for a HUMANITARIAN PROJECT also...
but as I understand from your posts...
this has NOT crossed YOUR mind...

It depends on what one want to achieve...
Money in OWN pocket ONLY...

OR

using the MAJOR part of it...
Helping OTHERS who have a difficult time...

You can lead the horses to the stream and show them the clarity and purity of the water, but you can't get them to drink to their own health (in this case spiritual well-being).

So much for my tap dancing skills.........

Thank you Largo, Everwiser, Big Dog and others. I do not deserve such praise. I agree whole-heartedly, Everwiser.

At the risk of offending, I'll spell it out in simple terms. Of course there is a reward for the risk (DUH!), but it is not my focus. I could be doing Forex (I follow and understand), I could be in NASDAQ or NYSE, I could be doing other HYIP's (some are paying fairly well), and I could be sitting at the Casino tables (I am a fair poker player). But I don't. Why? Because it's not about the money!

Whether or not Pips pays does not change the fact that right now, today, I can pay my bills. That is more than some can say. I thank GOD everyday that HE has blessed me enough to wake up this morning, and make it to the time I lay down my head. THAT is all I can ask for. Everything else is a bonus. Kirby Puckett, at his Hall of Fame induction said it best when he said that tomorrow wasn't guaranteed for anyone (May he rest in peace).

Now, why don't I do other HYIP's? Cause they don't resonate with my conscience. Pips did. Why? Because I could actually research the Foundation and actually see what was done (until the tap was turned off). Also, it just felt "right". I cannot explain, but I know there are many out there who will know what I mean.

Have I received a cent? No. Do I have an account? Yes, more than 1 (so my family could benefit as well). Do I hope it comes back soon? YES. Do I have questions for BM? Hell yeah! But I keep them to myself. It serves no purpose to ask why, when he isn't at liberty to say. Lay and Skilling still say that ENRON was thriving until "evil, uncaring stock managers and competitors with a vendetta" brought the company down. Is Pips and ENRON? Not in your wildest dreams. The US is full of greed stories and corrupt corporations. So are most other industrialized nations. It is universal. To say that NONE of us is in it for ANY gain is asinine. To accuse us of all being the same is just as foolish. But some of us are looking for gains that aren't necessarily monetary (ref: Largo).

I hope that Pips comes back soon, and yes, I would like to be independently wealthy. Whether or not I am is not up to me anymore. I have done my part. I have taken that step. It is out of my hands. What I want isn't always what I get. It is also out of your hands. Get over it.

If you lent from your want, I sincerely hope that GOD will see you through to your satisfaction (but don't blame HIM or BM for your lack of vision). If you lent from your surplus, wait it out like the rest of us and move on to something else. I really hate to sound like (this) and say things like (this), but you leave no real choices. In the end it comes down to:

You put your money down and placed your chips on a number. Now you are mad because the ball hasn't dropped on your number yet. If you couldn't afford to play, you shouldn't have, but what is done is done. Wait for the wheel to stop and the ball to drop. Then say what you will. (BTW: This wheel only has two options "Will" and "Won't" Did you move your chips?)

If you want to ask BM anything, ask this: "How can you put up with all this crap without puking your guts out?"

I apologize for preaching, but really!

EVERY ONE GOT INTO pips FOR A REASON SOME FOR THE MONEY SOME FOR BM SOME FOR THE CHARITY BUT THAT DOSN'T GIVE NO ONE THE RIGHT TO TAKE OUR MONEY.
I GOT INTO PIPS SO I CAN PAY OFF MY DEBT AND GET GOOD MONEY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY (A BABY ON THE WAY) AND MY PARENTS AND SOME FREINDS AND MAYBE A CHARITY IF I HAVE ANYTHING LEFT.
I STILL WANT PIPS TO COME BACK NOW MORE THAN EVER BUT I CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT SO I WOULD JUST SITE AND NOT ASK ANY QUESTIONS FO A WHILE ( MAYBE FOR ANOTHER 5 MONTHS) AND THEN I WILL RAISE ALL HELL TO FIND OUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY MONEY AND IF PIPS WAS REAL OR NOT.

perhaps the water that they're accustomed to isn't very clear.

for clarification purposes:

hu·man·i·tar·i·an
n. One who is devoted to the promotion of human welfare and the advancement of social reforms; a philanthropist.

I find, for happiness and well being.... just find yourself some clear water and dive in

I'm sorry.....I thought that this point was clear...........IMHO, YOUR money is still there and waiting. What is being done with it, or whether or not you will be allowed access, is out of our hands. Don't think that your money just went "poof!". It didn't. Don't ask me for proof. You won't get it. (Sorry if I sound smug, it is unintentional)

Ill-reguardless of why everyone got into pips makes no difference. The fact remains that pips stopped paying. Why is the question, and if you could go back to the pips forum the answers are clearly there. Why did Gary and others leave? Why, Why,so many unanswered questions. I don't mind loosing my money to a legitimate program but when its lost due to poor management of those funds that we as member intrusted to the Corportation, thats where the problem lies. That is what angers most of us bottom line.

Holding onto anger is self-destructive...Holding onto anger for the better part of 7 or 8 months is suicidal. Just my .02...

'most'?

many of us are waiting peacefully.

you are only as happy as you choose to be.

To those who stated that they did not join PIPS for money, for curiosity, why didn't you donate to thousands of already established charities or begin your own charity, instead of giving money to an unknown internet program?
