I thought I would private message everyone on the board.

I think what we have in this thread is an attempt to slander and silence a guy named Tony Edwards, who has the nasty habit of telling the truth in St. Louis.  

Why did one of the kids (probably didn't know any better) spend a post bringing up his name, when lil sis didn't even mention him?

I think we need to hear from Tony.  At first, the name didn't ring a bell, but then when I heard he was blind, I remembered him, because he came out to CA to get a dog.

I searched my email (about 10,000) and found a bunch from him.   He was so kind and gracious the way he spoke about the leadership on STL.   I wonder if he freaked out, or something?

Whatever he is saying, it reminds me of what people said about me when I "slandered" George and David.  I told the truth, but these snakes screamed "liar!"

Tony, public message us!

Actually Brent none of us are little kids. We all stand over 6'3 and are down right proud of it. (Luke is 6'10, Mark 6'5. I'm 6'3 and Paul is too.) In regards to my comments about Tony and the reasoning behind why I chose to use this thread were as follows:

    For a long time I have watched as private message after private message came from Tony Edwards that contained information that was highly questionable i.e. Paul was kicked out for homosexual tendencies, and many more. There aim was not merely to expose the "leading brothers," but rather a personal vendetta aganist the Robinsons.  This has gone on for quite awhile and needed to be addressed.  What better time to do it then on a thread addressed to the very people he particularly angry with: the Robinsons.

 I am amazed that Verne and Brent seem to possess such great knowledge as to the events that transpired in St. Louis.  For being so far away you certainly have formed a healthy set ideas in light of what went down here.  Please  do not falsely assume based on faulty logic and one-sided stories. It disturbs me greatly to watch (especially you Brent) play the role of savior while you merely exacerbate the situation with your psychoanalysis.

However, right now I think what would be best is if this thread closed and I stop talking about Tony Edwards and talk to him personally.  Tony if you read this I would like to get together with you sometime, and first and foremost see that reconciliation takes place.  You are my brother in Christ and I always respected you and enjoyed talking to you. I will try and give you a call this week so we can put an end to this charade.  To any and all St. Louis people that read this:  Let's stop wasting our time on this BB and invest it in relationships with each other.  

Dear Daniel,  I am writing to respond to your very  last statement,only. I agree in part. I agree 100% that, I have, in the last few days, after being notified of a personal attack on the Robinsons, spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME on this BB. I had not read anything here in months.   I agree 100% that I need to spend my time in St Louis building relationships with people I can trust.  HOWEVER, I would like to point out that if this BB stops before the (former) sister in St. louis comes forward,  EVERYONE, here there and everywhere, (in my opinion) who has read this BB will continue to play "name that sister". If, she did not realize that a personal attack on the Robinson family would hurt so many people, she surely does "not realize" the damage she has done to ALL the sisters in St. Louis. There are many events coming up where we will all be together. I AM NOT the "sister in St Louis". I do not want to go to the various events where people will be asking themselves, "Is she the sister?"  If she(former sister) thinks that the Robinsons attendance at the up coming wedding would dampen spirits, what about ALL the sisters that will be thought of as possible candidates for being "the" sister in St. Louis? So, it seems only fair, that the (former) sister in St. Louis come forward and apologize to ALL the sisters that have been effected by her anonimity. Therefore I would hate to see this "end" with the question still out there, "who is the sister in St Louis?"

I hesitate to post, and have never done so before, due to fear of unintentionally saying something inflamatory or something that would offend. If I have done so, I apologize in advance. I simply think that this sister needs to see she is continuing to do damage to other sisters, unless and until she comes forward.

Hi Libby.

I don't think the BB is going to stop soon.

Also, don't be too sure that this Sister in St. Louis, is a sister at all.  The IP's of all the people who post are visible to Admin.  It would be interesting to compare the IP's of about 8 people on this forum to that of STL sister.  

I can't see them, but there are people who can.  I wonder what would happen if we found out that STL Sister was actually someone's brother?

Brent

I suggest that you resolve this problem in STL; talk to Tony etc. and then post the results for our benefit.

Is that the rumbling of distant thunder I am hearing...?
Let me say something to all you former assembly folks (of whom I am one).
Your greatest danger is the tendency many of you have to ignore or minimise your serious spiritual injury sustained under the ministrations of George Geftakys.  Do you understand how much of your spiritual llfe has been bled away? You are in need, many of you, of a Great Physician!
Verne

Sister in STL,
I have never defended David G or GG on a personal level. Get the facts straight before you spout off your mouth. Tony if you are reading this, can you email me?  Thanks.

Verne,

It all boils down to motivation.  The STL sister intended to slander Brent by publicly posting his PM.
Private sharing of PMs/emails may fall in the category of getting advice, or sharing news.
When I do not want my PM/email being posted publicly or shared with anyone else, I often state that in my PM/email.
