I Only Ask Becous I Hear Mormons Are Vary Famley Bases

[Marsha]

Hmmm

Well I did a bit MORE research and this is what I turned up. The following members are using the SAME computer. Seems like we have yet another multi-personality person here, not only posting to get attention but in some cases even answering themselves.

I'd say different people...

but the names are simular.....

[Princess3dward]

lol. And come to think about it,

them anwsering eachother is weird too.

[Dr T]

That is interesting. What would someone get out of that?

[Marsha]

ATTENTION - already 2 pages of sympathy.

I really don't mean to sound harsh but there have been so very many that come to this board and fabricate issues such as in this thread.

I do know that there are ppl out there on the street. They don't have computers. They don't have adccess to the library pc's at 1:00 AM in the morning.

Some ppl just want to see reactions. Others want to cause contention. Still others just out and out lie.

Marsha

[Princess3dward]

That stinks...

Because I feel my feelings were toyed with...

because I could relate on the family issue...

Something like that just makes me very very sad...

[Marsha]

I understand how you feel Desire' That is the reason that when I or the other moderators find out that someone is doing just that we post it on the board.

Many many people gain sympathy, then trust from others both on and offline. Sometimes that escalates to a "real" time meeting. If one is not truthful, how do you think that meeting will go?

How many here have read this thread and thought to themselves, "I really wish I could help her?" I am willing to bet more than a couple.

The next step for ppl like this is to begin to ask for money, a place to live, etc. Honest ppl we don't have to worry about. It is the dishonest ones that eventually "trip themselves" up. The saying is true, give 'em enough rope and they will hang themselves.

[Princess3dward]

Thanx for letting us know Marsha.

[Guest MrsS]

Marsha,

The library is not the only place where you can use a computer. There are Cyber Cafe's all over the US -The world. A lot of these are probably open as late as cocktail lounges, i.e. 2:30AM.

If she is indeed on the streets, this would be an option for her.

Just my worth

[Princess3dward]

I hope that is what it is... or something like that... because it makes me very sad that they would lie.....about that....

ok i concede that one. But don't you have to have money to go in to these places? AND why 4 different id's on here? One would do it.

How about it todayisagooddayihope?

Can you answer and clear up the inconsistencies?

Marsha

[Princess3dward]

Don't cyber café's have more than one computer?

What are the chances that they are all using that computer?

[Marsha]

It is the IP address that is used. It is identical for each of the names that she post/registered with. The IP address is linked to one household or place. Kinda like a social security number. One person, one number.

Now before anyone corrects me, there are strings of IP address that are very close numbers. AOL uses one string, SBC another, etc. However her IP's are exactly the same. Same place all of them are registered with.

Marsha

[Princess3dward]

I see. I think I understand.

Shan:

I love you like a sister, but what is wrong with giving LDS advice, on a LDS website?

I allmost agree with you about her contacting her family.

Thank you... that's very nice!

Nothing is wrong with it. I don't want to come across as crass, but it just seemed wierd like a conversion opportunity. Sorry though if that was offensive! :)

Shan:

You are loved by a great many people here. I am glad to say that I am one of them.

You are also right about your Church would also help. The LDS Church has one advantage, they have a social services program that is nation wide.

Hoping to always be your friend in Christ - allmosthumble

p.s. - You were never crass or offensive

[karrie91]

even if today is a fake or not, I truly hope one point got across. That is that the LDS church and other religious organizations (Shantress) understand and are sympathetic when there is someone in need.

so today if your plight is as you say, as I hope you arent toying with people here, please you have been given some great advice. Take heed of it and act.

If you are lying and toying with feelings and emotions just stop because you may ruin it for someone really in need. Im sure youve heard of the boy who cried wolf.

MrsS:

You are very compassionate and want to give "today" every chance to defend herself. That is a good thing.

Marsha is also trying to look out for all of us. That is a good thing.

I'm glad that we have both of you.

Thank you Marsha for being on the lookout and being willing to ask the hard questions at risk of offence.

i also agree with karrie91. reguardless of Today's intent the advice (and yes much was given by me lol) is still real. i would care about anyone on such a plite. the advice i gave today is the same advice i would give anyone. that is another neat thing about the church, i can reach out without puting my personal life, and finances at risk. she or anyone would go into a chuch on sunday and it would be for the bishop to use decernment as to the legitamacy of the person and to what extent the Lords funds will be used. the way i also see it is that if this is a "hoax" then in my mind someone putting on such a hoax needs emotional help. Family Services would be able to get her counseling for that too. lol my heart pains for someone whose life is such a mess that they would feel they must play such a game as it would for someone who is on the streets. (yes, i am aware that i am overly simpathetic, lol) we don't know when there may be somone who needs help (months from now, these posts stay up a long time) who will read this. may not have the courage to ask us, but gets the info and says maybe they could help my problem as well, and then seeks that help. if that ever happens (and i will probably never know if it did. lol) i would consider all worth it. there are ripples to everything, ripples aren't necessarly bad. so i do hope that this was not a hoax, but reguardless i have no hurt feelings or regrests about my concern for or advice to Today. and if it is real i hope she got her courage up and got help.

Desiré, it has been said in many meetings about the issue of a lot of beggers not being legetamate, that i would rather give to a con than explain to the Lord why i didn't help one in need. don't take it personaly. that is a risk we are taking on the internet. we can't see eachother, it could all be a lie. if you always keep that in mind and therefore never give your personal info, or send money, or anything of the like it is all just words. so what, how does your having felt pain for someone on the streets changed you? have you been hurt by it? have you been helped by it? there are many children truley on the streets and your hurt for their plite is real, they are real, and that is ok. if you do feel for someone and want to help direct them to their bishop, he has the keys of decernment, there is no risk to you. don't get course and bitter and stop caring, that is why satan has people play cons and hoaxes, so we will quite caring and helping eachother. that is what would bring satan joy. just let it go. as for me, all of this conversation has gotten me to thinking. i am yw pres, less than 10 girls and only one that wants to come. i've been very discouraged. all the conversations i've had here have gotten me to thinking and i realized that there are girls in need right here in my city that would want the knowledge that God loves them. i am now praying for ideas on how to find and reach out to them. the girls who want and need this not just the ones because they are on my attendence roll. i don't think i would be on this line of thinking with out all the discussion on this board (not just today, but with everyone :)). so reguardless of what it turns out to be i have pondered and prayed and am trying to improve myself. i don't have hard feelings toward it, God can make anything ok if we are trying to follow him. all that matters is that i use every experiance in my life to improve and draw closer to God.

Today, if you are still here we would love to here from you. i hope all is ok for you, where ever you are. :)

[begood2]

Almon,

I just love your post! It certainly shows a kind and loving heart for others. :)

[karrie91]

ALMon,

you are an example and I agree with Begood your heart definately shows.

I feel guilty right now because part of me hopes that today is telling the truth, even though that means that its not a good life for her right now, but that theres chance for improvement. The other part of me hopes its a hoax because I cant bear anyone being in that situation.

I know exactically how you feel....

[Marsha]

Well well, Today, pls go to pg 2 of this thread and answer my questions.

I see that you are back today, under the same IP address as the other 3 names that you have registered and even answered yourself with one of them.

MaRSHA

[Gwen]

thank you Marsha i don't pretend to know everything about computers, so i think this is a neat magic trick you do to help us stay aware.

first let me say that i meant every word before this. i truely feel the way that i stated before and after Marsha's magic. this experiance has helped me and i have not been conciously deceptive at any point on this subject. that being said there is the old saying, fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me.

so Today, i would like to know your answer how if you are on lock down as your blog states how are you getting to the same computer as before? i would venture to say you are not. now i think the life that feels it must sit and make up lies for sympathy or to play this kind of hoax is no life at all. i would ask what the real story is, but i don't know if at this point i would beleive it. crying wolf is a dangerous thing young lady.

now having been a little negative (although i know many would say not negative enough lol). i would like to say. Today, you have a great writing talent. you were able to get many to feel for you though apperantly not true. that takes skill. you should consider instead of hoaxing, putting it out there as a fictional story and receiving some credit instead of critisizam for your work. however, i will caution that if you plan on using any part of this or quote any of our words without giving proper credit (and possible financial copensation for creative help) that some may be upset and there could be civil suit on your hands. lol

Today, this is a good day i hope :)

[foip05]

todayisagooddayihope,

If you are in fact "on the streets" how are you able to come online at all hours of the day to post? Such as 10:57 PM and 1:37 AM? (1:37AM was written by "only_today" which was GONE when I posted this message. Exact same IP's. HMMMMMM Even the public libraries are closed then, even on the West Coast.

Also there is a spell check at the bottom of where you post, click on that and it will correct your spelling for you. But you already know that I am sure.

Just curious,

Marsha

Its called a lap top .(i'm not going to say how i got it). For the internet its called Ether-net and it is real easy to walk down almost en street and turn on my computer and get a connection. if you wait to know how i keep it charged every house on this planet has an out side plug in. I bet if you have ether-net you might get 4 or 5 connections to choose form right now that you could use. And a ,lot of the time that I was on that long I was in a restaurant that has E-net drinking coffee or getting something to eat. And your right there are no libraries open that time of day they usually all close around 9:00. and most of the computer places I know close a round 300am but there are a lot of places that do stay open all nate .

And i wasn't asking for sympathy.

I was just asking strangers what there thoughts would be on how to deal with a problem that i couldn't deal with my self. And to get ideas from people that i don't know helps me. because I had already asked the people i did know.

thanks for telling me about the spelling didn't notice it before

PS

sorry it took me so long to reply

[Princess3dward]

If you are going to different places to use the internet, your IP address would be different every time.

That does not explain the other three coincidental people.

p.s. I am not here.

My dad is a computer nerd, and so are many of my friends...

I am super curious to see her defense is all, and I couldn't wait for Martha.
