are you sure? now doug, you need to think real hard, here...  you didn't misspell the word 'but' anywhere, did you?  i mean, porn isn't only transmitted through visual images, doug, but the mere suggestion of unmetionable mentions.  horrors!  
no seriously... can't wait to hear back from them on this!

response to the second email

I am so very thankful that we serve a FAITHFUL God. I just recently went through cancer - God brought a business/product into my life that has totally changed me - so I am grateful for the experience of cancer. I am now cancer free.
Although your circumstance is a lot different, in many ways, it is the same...and I totally can relate to what you have/are going through.

Have you read the book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Peter Scazzero? I am about 3/4 through this book and it deals with everything you are talking about.

I was not intending to mention this business -when I communicated with you -that God brought into my life about a year ago....but if you were interested, you may not be, I would love to share with you how you can make a great income, help lots of people with their health and finances. Sounds like you are a very caring, compassionate person and still out there to make a difference in our world with God's help. Love to share what I've found if you are interested.

this is the only response i got from the last email i sent.
Hay Doug
I emailed you yesterday. You’ve obviously received my message, because you added me to your list.
Did you read it? Because, like I told you before, I can’t really do anything to clear up situations that aren’t my problem.
For that matter, neither can you.
So let me know when you’re telling me your story, and how I’m involved, and then we can talk.
Cheers,

[Douglas72789]

my response to to the last email that i got

the thing is that by myself i cant do anything but if i get  people to talk about the true experiences in IBLP then that would make a difference.  I'm waiting to send my story last,  until then just read the story's that i send.

his response to that

Hey Douglas,
 
Thanks for replying to me. I'm glad we can talk about it.
 
I don't know if anyone else from IBLP is talking to you, but if they aren't, I'm glad to.
 
I appreciate the reason that you don't want to write your story. Makes sense. However, can I give you an example of why it doesn't really help to send other people's stories to irrelevant parties? Here it is (true story):
 
When my friend was a boy during World War II, his father became a soldier, and was sent to fight in the Pacific against the Japanese. He and all of his unit were put on the train at Cairns, in Queensland (the north east part of Australia), and were sitting at the station waiting to leave when another train came in. It was full of United States soldiers just come from the front for some R&R. The Americans were very excited to get back to civilization, and seeing the Aussies leaving, laughingly whistled, winked, and yelled out the windows, "Have fun! We'll take care of your wives and daughters while you're gone!" This obviously made the Australians furious, and getting off their train, they went to have it out with the Americans. The difference was that while the Aussies went unarmed, the Americans had just returned from the front, and still had cartridges in their assault rifles. Many Australian soldiers were wounded and injured in the fight, and my friend's dad was never the same again. Nor were his sisters, if you know what I mean. My friend hates Americans for what they did to his dad and family.
 
I'll tell you my bad experience of Americans one day, but until then, read about why all my friends hate Americans.
 
Can you see what I'm trying to say? I could send this to you, just to let you know what you and your country did to some of us. I could suggest that by circulating this story, I'm trying to get people to discuss their TRUE experiences of Americans, as if everyone is hiding some kind of deep dark secret of what Americans really do. But the fact is, that you personally can't do anything about what happened to my friend's family. You could say sorry to me, which won't do anything for my friend, or you could give up your American citizenship and become a Mexican, which also accomplishes nothing. But there's not really anything else you can do about it. What's more, if every day I keep telling you stories like this, it isn't going to do anything except make you think that I really need to deal with the past, not take up offences of others, and get over it.
 
I'm not denying that what you have to say is true, in the same way that you might not disagree that the above story is true. But you would certainly resent me saying that ALL Americans are like that, or that (for example) the USPS is like that, or that YOU are like that. And so sending stories like you have doesn't really prove anything. Some people have had terrible experiences - I know, I agree, and I regret. But not ALL IBLP people are like that, nor all parts of IBLP, nor, I hope, me.
 
So if you don't want to write about your story, tell me when to call, and we can talk about it. I would seriously be glad to have a chat about your situation. But in the meantime, tell your friends' stories to the people who did it. Tell the perpetrator's superiors who were responsible. But keep it to those involved. To the best of my knowledge, I am not one of them.
 
You'll give yourself a lot more credibility if you take this approach. It indicates to people that you want to deal with the issues - not just have a whinge.

my response

   The differences in the story's that we write is that America is a country and IBLP in an organization that reaches all over the world.. In America  their are different leaders every 4-8 years but IBLP is run by a man that has control over many years.

    the reason why i send messages to all the parties is that there are no irrelevant parties.  like AUS complex treated my sister like crap and  HQ treated me like i was a troubled boy for just wearing a pier of jeans or saying that i like certain type of music, even when i asked why I should not listen to it they had no Bible verse for me and all their argument was that Bill Gotherd said so. so if people thinks in this form of what you look like on the out side is what counts then they really don't even know the  principles that they hold dear. and the emails that i send are for anybody that has the what you look like is what counts mindset so they will just look deeper in what they believe.  that all for now.

His Response

Hey bro,

Cool, now we are going somewhere.

Just one quick question:

What do you want to see come out of all your work (sending emails, contacting IBLP, etc)? What is the end result that you are after?

Thanks,
