We were scheduled to have our first video out about two weeks ago. The man who was going to shoot the video reneged and is AWOL. We got a place to shoot, but it needed repairs. The people we hired were supposed to start Monday. They have called and said they are a week behind. If they don't come next week, we will hire someone else as we have to be able shoot within a month. Rent isn't cheap out this way. Hopefully videos are coming.
We keep inviting people to this board, but aren't getting any posters. We get some traffic, but no posters. NOBODY believes in building from the grass roots level and I'm not interested in being owned by others when there are things people need to hear - even if it isn't what they want to hear. If I go out trying to do the right thing, I'm content with knowing I gave it my best. If you aren't posting, you aren't giving others a reason to come here and you are not doing the patriotic thing for your country. GET INVOLVED.

It seems that the progress temporarily stalled. Nobody is posting on the board despite many people being invited. It is disheartening for me to continue to come here and have a conversation with one person. The reason being is that the hope was that the many conversations we had would be worthy of public participation and input. Democrats have quite a few of these discussion boards. It's difficult to understand why many conservatives remain on liberal sites when they won't be censored on this one.
On a more positive note the Anglo Israelite Christian Church has expanded and now Bible studies are being conducted in North Carolina and Georgia with an expansion expected in Austria very soon. Church elders have been summoned this week-end to consider the ordination petition of a recent graduate of the American Institute of Theology. If this site doesn't gain traction soon I will be devoting more time to the church. It may be that people respond to biblical discussions and fellowshipping rather than discussion boards.

As always, the painter did not finish on Monday, laid out today... don't know if he will show up tomorrow. Once he's finished we have to move the stuff back into the place we fixed up and use the extra space for other purposes. Something is in the air.
With what little time I had today for communications, I spent a lot of time trying to get help with audio only recording of podcasts that we would like to get posted. We thought we had this covered, but now the scripts will have to rewritten because they are now two months old. If we can get someone that knows how to do AUDIO ONLY PODCASTS, we're ready to start recording and sending them to someone to edit, add intro music, create the thumbnail and post.
In other news, while I was trying to communicate on the board, I was having to stop every five minutes and text a damn troll. This is the SECOND time this POS has wasted my time. For those too busy to deal with idiots, here is how this went:
I get a text from someone claiming to want information. I take the time to answer their questions. Then he wants to meet. He said he got a business card for the website from some place in Dallas Georgia (100 miles or so away) and he said he was in Alabama. Okay. It's all good. When he's invited to our new spot, he doesn't want to make the drive and says he won't come to this part of Georgia. He wanted to meet half way, so I called his bluff and agreed to meet him wherever he chose EXCEPT that he would have to wait until my work project is completed. Hell I was willing to go to Alabama.
Then he said he didn't social media, but answered some other sites... then claimed that discussion boards are dead and the youth won't post on them. Hmmm. How would he know that if he never visits social media sites?
Then he demanded that I bring two of my people and dress a certain way... WTH? About this time (more than a dozen or so back and forth texts) and I realize that this SOB - and I don't mean Swell Old Boy hooked me into an entire day of textingon another occasion (over 65 texts IIRC) only to find out it was a troll that lived in the same county as I do. He wanted the same thing. I travel at his demand to a time and place of his choosing; force "my people" to drop what they're doing and dress up a certain way, travel hundreds of miles for a face to face.
When people are putting demands on not only my time, but my wallet, they aren't for real. Let's meet on the discussion board. If we are in agreement on issues, PM me. IF it's necessary and warranted, we can do a face to face, but bear in mind that the gas, wear and tear on your car, etc. could be used to communicate with many people instead of one at a time just to discuss subject matter you can address in PMs, e mails, and on the discussion board. I don't care what the masses are doing. When the masses have us DE - platformed, we may have to go back to DVDs, newsletters via U.S. Snail Mail, and pamphlets. Just because something is the latest and greatest in technology does not mean that it is the best way to communicate. And if everybody else is on Tik Tok, Twitter, and Facebook, they won't be casually reading about us and making our views the meme of the day. Our time can be spent organizing instead of doing damage control and arguing with idiots.

This is just an update that is current within the hour. The Resister has suffered a physical setback and may or may not be on the board in the near future. More details are forthcoming. Most everything is ready now for the video portions relating to the charter. We can only hope and pray that this is a temporary setback and I will keep you informed when things change.

I posted that some time back thinking that things would have changed in a sooner or more gradual manner. I will be assuming some admin duties within the next few days. Your support will be deeply appreciated. So post away and let's exchange some thoughts.

As most of you know who read the board, my wife's oldest son passed away after getting some Fentanyl laced drugs. It wasn't like I didn't warn the guy. But, that is not the only reason for my absence. After the funeral service, I went directly to the Emergency Room of the hospital where I've been most of the time (in the hospital that is.) I don't know how things will work out, but most doctors (I've seen four surgeons and an internal specialist) predict that due to my past, I stand a good chance of avoiding any surgery and returning back to a healthy state. Only one wanted to push me into surgery and my primary doctor agreed with me that the guy is knife happy.
Anyway, I will give my .02 cents worth, but it looks like with the promotion of ProfessorX, the board is doing better and I'm set on cruise, letting him make the admin decisions.
