Yay Misty 2.0!

ATTENTION: Anyone who uses columbuzz just wanted you to know if you post and want to remain anonymous with the current administrator, Joanna she has already shown she will not keep posts anonymous. I will no longer be posting or reading anything on columbuzz. I also would not feel comfortable after what I read tonight to share any information or tips to columbuzz again.

"How sad that we turn against people when they are down. This whole fiasco was a flat-out witch-hunt and I for one am ashamed of those who spearheaded it....."

Sadly, Bob and others of his ilk only see that when it affects them or theirs. I think even those like Paula and Misty only had their eyes opened when it affected them or loved ones. Hopefully, they will keep those blinders off now that they have gotten there (as tardy as it is).

Where was Misty's comment at? What was it in response to? Is it still there?

Dude said...

It was a facebook comment on columbuzz (bottom of page):

It's also on Misty's facebook page. I don't think it was a response to anything.

Misty, they're all bad apples.

What else are they going to say "We will continue to out and belittle posters whenever we feel like it"? Then again, they have staid such stupid things before since they are a bunch of idiotic children who can't keep their emotions in check. But, with that in mind they are likely to give into their emotions again and again. Why does she believe them? They have shown what they are capable of and I wouldn't trust them again knowing they could be set off the same way again under certain circumstances. You can't unring a bell. It will likely take them a long time to come close to restoring trust (except maybe to some of the Bob-o-Bots with blinders on) and that is to those who trusted them in the first place.

"Why does she believe them?"

Excellent question. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Misty said...

My comment was actually in defense of Paula. I use my name when posting. I will not be posting anything that I consider confidential, if I even post at all. It only takes one time for me to be called a liar and that things are just my imagination and I am done. I took my blinders off when I left Milestone and I will never be controlled again.

Dude said...

Good for you Misty. I wouldn't trust Jeremy and Joanna with anything at all, but especially with something confidential. So Misty, do you know the real identity of Jeremy and Joanna? Just curious.

Dude said...

And by the way, I think what Joanna did to Paula was shocking, vicious, and evil. It looks to me like Joanna has severe anger issues.

Misty said...

I only know Bob. I am very proud of the positive changes he has made as a Christian and hope he continues to grow in his faith. I have not dealt with Joanna but after her attack on Paula I have no desire too. I think she has anger issues and should not be an admin. Columbuzz and Bob have helped me with the Milestone thing and then the death of my cousin on 31 and I will always appreciate that.

Dude said...

If I remember correctly, Jeremy wrote some disrespectful things about your cousin's death, didn't he?

Misty said...

I don't know who wrote that story it was taken down as soon as I talked to Bob about it. Bob made a cross in memory of my cousin and put it up on 31 for my family. Bob has helped publish several stories for my family trying to find answers to why his death was not investigated right. His ex wife left him laying in the road to get ran over by a sheriffs car, she didn't call 911 and the police didn't drug test her but did my dead cousin. I don't know anything about Joanna or Jeremy but I do know Bob has always been nice to me and now he is giving up columbuzz to concentrate on building a relationship with God. Bob is working to better himself and he is working with the church to help people. I have nothing bad to say about Bob.

Dude said...

"I do know Bob has always been nice to me"

It's too bad that Bob isn't nice to more people. Let's hope this change is permanent, but I have my doubts. I've heard the "Bob has changed" story quite a few times in the past and it never sticks.

Misty said...

Bob is actually nice to most people and he is sincere in the changes he has been making in his life. Bob left
Columbuzz to get away from the negativity and gossip associated with the site. I pray he has better luck with organized religion then I have had. I stay away from organized "Christians" they scare me. Bob however is trying to live like Christ would want him to in this life. I would think people would encourage him and not doubt his ability to change with the help of God.

Dude said...

"Bob is actually nice to most people"

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

Dude said...

Just thought of another way to explain my perspective on this issue. Joanna's friends and family might say she's nice to most people too, but I'd bet you and Paula would have a different opinion on that. When family and friends are on the receiving end of someone's wrath multiple times, it's normal to be skeptical that they've changed. Especially when you've seen no real apologies from them for their past behavior.

I doubt I will have much contact with him since I am not a part of the church so it doesn't really matter now. I have had little contact with anyone from his circle because I don't go to the church. I got burned by too many people who attend that church and I gave it a try but I don't want to get burned again. Getting called a liar and things were in my imagination did not go over well with me either. I never lied about anything to do with Milestone and if it wasn't for people at the new church not wanting their names associated with a cult it would of never been brought up that Milestone may not of been a cult, I didn't just make that up it was hours of research. That why he is no longer working on columbuzz because it looks bad on the church, which I can understand.On the other hand in my opinion your personal life is just that and shouldn't be judged by the church. I have read the bible and God is supposed to be the only judge of what I do. After the comments from "friend" and "tried to be a friend" it is hard to trust anyone associated with any church. I wish them all the best but after the way I have been treated I would just rather not attend any church. I am way to busy with work, school, my family, and dealing with my health condition to be wrapped up in the drama that has always came along with church. I do have some friends who still attend and I wish them the best also. The stories I have seen lately on columbuzz are just fishing and have no evidence at all. Certain people are protected while others are thrown in the fire. That is not freedom of speech. I also know no one is free of sin and everyone has skeletins in their closet and no one should throw stones when they live in a glass house. I have to answer to God and no one else so I am not worried.
