Good point! Maybe this is some of the truth she was telling us was coming?

[MikeParticipant]

@addisonborn – that wasn’t directed at you It was more of…know when you joke with people and you say something like…oh that’s the cool kids table lol. It was along those lines. Granted maybe people are joining for that reason, but I wasn’t implying that you were one of them.

I do disagree with your assumptions “journal has obviously been edited”, “knowing Four was planning on cleansing everyone”. etc. We do not know these things. The journal being edited is an opinion (granted yes, the OOA or anyone could have taken specific pages out for a reason, but maybe Addison did for some reason also) and the Four thing is being said by a girl who seemed to be not quite right in the head, so who knows about that as well.

Thank you @atticus360

This was really cool to read and get a “behind the scenes” point of view at some of the things we’ve all been involved in.

-Gatekeepers sit at a desk!
-the computer room sounds like the Jonestown radio room

Also, one thing she says sticks out to me. I know this is in regards to her parents, but if she’s saying this about her parents, who’s to say the same isn’t happening to us – “Anything to keep them from the truth”

@rizzzoooooo – Let me preface this by saying that I agree with you about getting the pages quicker, but I’m wondering why the BoS collective stepped back on this. Kim said that if the BoS had the diary, everything would had been published by now. If that’s what we all want, including the BoS, wouldn’t it make more sense to pitch in and help instead of stepping back? Obviously I know personal schedules come into play, but wasn’t sure what the other reasons could be.

[MikeParticipant]

I’m not sure why I’m being called out here. My _path is MY _path and no one else’s and is no one else’s concern. It’s funny that you (and probably others) think I care about losing my title. I don’t. Like @endlesspictures said, I was playing with fire…and got burned. You live and learn. Losing my title hasn’t made me less vocal, there’s just not a lot to be vocal about. It’s because I am actually looking around and thinking…”Damn, we’re all screwed.” No sides are worth “picking” right now to me. I’m not going to talk just to talk or get my post count up.

Despite how I feel about the BoS…one thing I never saw them or @electrichippo do was lie. Are they sketchy? Secret? Contradictory? Of course, but liars? Not that I’ve seen. So by her saying the diary would be shared, I must take her at her word and agree.

You want truth bombs? Well get ready baby…

You were given possibly one of the most incredible and important things that we have seen so far and what do you do? You hide the entire thing and only share parts of it with other people to share, page by page, when they have time. I don’t know how big of a journal this is or how many pages there are, but come on man. Stop thinking of being artsy for once and help the community by sharing the ENTIRE thing you were given. This “few pages a day” is bullshit and is not helping anyone, including you. Honestly, I’ve lost interest in the diary because of how this is being released. There’s probably important information that the COMMUNITY needs, but won’t get it for like 2 weeks because of the “release schedule”.

So there’s a truth bomb for ya. Now, I’ll go back into “plotting” mode and will speak up when I feel I need to, not because you think I should.

You and me both @mkarrett!

Dear OOA,
Are you seeing and realizing how successful BoS recruitment has been lately? Aren’t you worried that they will take all of your Apostles? Despite my feelings towards the BoS, you have to give them credit. They have convinced many people to switch sides. They have Sentinel leading them and assumingly sharing important information. They have some of the most active people in their ranks and it seems you’re not doing anything to try and combat that. People always want to belong and right now, BoS is making that feeling easier for many people.

Give us something. Give the fence sitters and the OOA loyalists a reason to stay and fight in your name. I know there is a Gatekeeper trying to teach us right now, but history lessons don’t work when you’re trying to fight the “coolness” of an underground exclusive group that people want to be a part of. I have hope there’s some good left there (@regent7 perhaps?). We’ve been told the war is beginning, but I don’t see any shots coming from the OOA Please…something….help us help you.

[MikeParticipant]

I’m feeling the same way, it could go either way. I keep putting scenarios in my head and they’re all wacky

For example: BoS has always wanted to help Addison based on what we’ve seen, but what if they wanted to help her for their own reasons and not to actually help. Maybe they knew Addison would become a Gatekeeper and wanted her alliance much like III? Now that she didn’t align herself with them, maybe they’re after her to try and end the OOA before The One comes?

Or the OOA, maybe because she’s “exposing” them? But, she’s a Gatekeeper now. She said she’s putting things back on track with the OOA, so why would they be after her?

Or maybe it’s Tom (her dad) and/or Benny (still no confirmation he killed himself) after her? Tom can obviously track people down based on his ability to find parties he wasn’t invited to.

Or maybe it’s Sadie (I wonder if her real name was Susan ;))? It could be someone(s) we haven’t even met before.

[MikeParticipant]

It could be anyone at this point. The BoS? The OOA now that what she’s seen has been made public?

[MikeParticipant]

@gatekeeper2 – thank you for reaching out, but I feel I’m being misunderstood.

My comments about your past entries are just how I took your writings (and writings alone) without being in your situation. That’s my interpretation. Yes, I was/am a Four follower, but even if I wasn’t, based on your diary writings alone, I would be saying the same thing. I like to theorize and without knowing you or being you, going through these situations, everything has to be a theory, because who knows what the truth is or has been.

I think all of us would appreciate some truth, but even the truth isn’t the truth to all. I look forward to what you have planned next.

[MikeParticipant]

See, I don’t buy this at all. We have a girl, who through her own writing, seems to go crazy. There’s signs of possible mental issues/schizophrenia/manic/depression based on her writings and writing style. It’s hard for me to swallow that what she said is 100% truth and said with a clear, mental state. So hearing someone say Four was going to kill everyone, after she showed such affection in previous diary entries, doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t believe that she is saving our lives…I think she needs help, but different “help” that some of the community was trying to give her.

[MikeParticipant]

@monkeymuffin333 – I know we just spoke privately and you know that my post was not in any way directed at you, but I wanted to say it publicly and also say that you’re one of the most amazing people I met within this experience. You have a beautiful soul and are such a good and amazing person. What’s going on in your personal life is just that, personal. That should ALWAYS come first. You never have to apologize to us for anything and don’t ever worry about secondary things like this We all love ya right back.

[MikeParticipant]

I think @regent7 made that evite for III, so maybe it’s him!

[MikeParticipant]

The donut mixer was the big stand out for me. It was happening on a Sunday and on the Thursday before is when Four asked if I was ready to give a few words and that’s when I told her I had no idea what she was talking about and I hadn’t been invited at that point. When I got that info, I think just about everyone who were going had their invite by then (but not 100% sure)

[MikeParticipant]

Right? I’m an angel!

Since we were talking about the invites when you made that comment, I guess whoever I pissed off was the “First Party Planner in the Archive of Fun”

I’ll just keep digging my hole now
