Wow, what a one side biased site.  All the accusations flying and very limited amount of people posting.

Hi Gues

Is that a French name? Wink

We know the traffic around here is really slow.  We have been up for over 2 months now, and we only have 211 members.  It is really pathetic. Cry

There aren't even 2000 posts! (oops, there are 3000, still, really sad.) Embarrassed
Most days, we only have 15,000-17,000 or so page views.  Not too impressive.

All of us are biased, we can't help it.  We use our brains, and sometimes have our own thoughts.  Sadly, our thoughts are our own.  Corporate thinking is less biased, I suppose.

Please sign on, and help us out. Cheesy

(Please, this was NOT biting sarcasm, but playful wittiness.  I did not sin with this post...)

Keep looking - you'll find some on the "other" side

Dear Guest2

I used to have a friend with the same name!  The family was named "Guest," and the kids were all 1, 2, 3, 4 and baby 5.  Are you the Guests from Kahala Hawaii?  If so, I am so glad to hear from you again!

If you will see what our French brother Gues posted below, you will see that there is no "other" side here.  We are one-sided and biased.  Embarrassed

If you want the truth, call Betty or George.  I can give you their number, but they may not pick up the phone. Wink Lips sealed

So, you agree that those who post here are biased. Interesting.  May I recommend to all of the users on this board to take a six week vacation from this web site and take a walk on the beach. Perhaps your mind will clear of this biased one sided perspective and find out that what you have been involved in for these many years indeed is what the Lord wants you to be involved in.!
Brent, I have read most of your stuff. It is very biased and leaves out a lot.

Hi Gues!

I have read most of your stuff too.  All two posts.

The reason my stuff is biased is because I wrote it.  Do you understand what bias is?

Your stuff is also biased, because you wrote it.  I left a lot out, because I didn't want to write an encyclopedia.

Why don't you write the parts I left out and share it with everyone?

BTW,  you are free to take Six Weeks off from this website!  
You are also free to stay on it and post.  We need more French brethren! Wink

The six weeks off was meant as a suggestion, (that's why I used the words challenge and suggestion in bold) and it was for people who have been totally immersed in the assembly.  It is good advice.

I look forward to reading your stuff.

Gues,

It doesn't take a genious to figure out that you're still in the assembly.
For that I'm grateful - that it doesn't take a genious. It is understandable
that you don't take our position. We have already taken our "Six Weeks"
in one form or another. That's why we are out and sharing the truth w/
one another.

Sorry, but you're not the first guest to feel offended by visiting this site.

Hi #2!  Grin

This  Lips sealed face means, "lips sealed, not talking."

George and Betty refer to George and Betty Olive Geftakys, formerly(or soon to be) of:

2007 Calle Serena
Fullerton, CA 92833 USA

Hello to the guests who choose to remain anonymous.

As one who was as defensive as any for 15  years (1982 to 1997) I understand your bias. Certainly there are differing perspectives - and opinions - but don't the facts remain the same? By the way if you are saying there are a lot of 'flying accusations', why not put them to bed with some facts of your own?  Cheesy

...the 'lurking to posting' ratio appears to be about 5:1, which is a lot lower than the norm for internet bulletin boards. (It is usually about 150 or 200:1 pageviews/posts from my own experience.)

I'll go back to lurking.

Gues,
This sight has taken the mystery out of why people have left the assembly.  

By far the best part of this sight has been to find our old friends/roomates that we lost contact with.

Perhaps you can give a specific example of the bias that you see and fill in the part that has been left out.

Look up the word formerly and you will know why I wrote it.

It communicates the idea of something that used to be....

Words have meanings.  Ideas have consequences.

Dear #2

Remember what "Pilau" means in Hawaiian?  Wink

With regard to Geftakys,  Kapu!
