Sounds to me like, at worst, he's no worse than the Church.

I don't really think it's fair to call everyone who believes this guy "gullible" and "weak". And I think people are getting what they pay for, so to speak, anyway. In a sense, he's not really promising anything he doesn't deliver.

Someone earlier in this thread said it better than I can.

You're not understanding what Chemda said. That's not even important right now, however. Far more important is that you need to email me immediately if Robert starved a baby to death. I do not permit baby starvers on my show. End of story.

Then why'd you have say anything?

I would've just quoted, but I can't find it.

Plus, I really just wanted to make the Church point.

Stop hasslin' me.

Relax every now and again.

[Amravanti]

If I make a joke and pretend to be angry at you for saying that, you're just going to take it seriously and ban me again.

Dilemma.


I'm relaxed, this is me, sipping lemonade, perfectly relaxed.

Don't know why it seems different to you.

That's the second time that site has been posted here, so I finally decided to look at it.

And I'm seriously perplexed right now...all I see are stories of people making bad decisions, failing to use common sense and/or falling for con artists/scams.

I also fail to see the connection to Robert Alvarez, who has said time and time again that he doesn't want people to change their lives based on what he says. Maybe I'm the dummy here, but I don't see how you can compare the two.

It looks like Alberez is giving the wink wink nudge nudge disclaimer.
"I'm not allowed to tell you what to do by law, so don't do this very good idea that I'm giving you"

Robert Alvarez is awesome. I always enjoy when he appears on the show.
