I saw your pictures too on Instagram and on their FB and on their website. If people only knew what happened to you while there. Like what you said “God knows.”
Yes. God knows. And I will keep it at that.
That would be a good sad true story that I pray you publish someday. The truth sets everyone free, right?
I actually did in my whistleblower report. Doesn’t require publication anywhere because I do respect the organization STILL, and the cruelty and mistreatment of “just two” individuals does not speak for the ENTIRE organization.
Submitting that report set ME free. (Because whomever Christ frees, is free indeed.”)
The sad truth and the sad story and sad experience EQUIPPED me to make a wise Godly informed decision to report it anyway. And be ready to walk away.
Time to move on.
Even Barnabas and Paul had disagreements. God will always work it out for my good. Those two people will ALWAYS remember too, what they did to me. And they have the rest of their lives to shoulder that guilt, should the Lord allow them to realize how they have so hurt me. I told everyone concerned that my Whistleblower Report (40 pages or so) will stand on its own. But I am not going to lie for anybody or any organization. But I will ALSO not taint the entire organization because of the fault of two people.
Laughing out loud at the comments! Glad you are allowing us to vent too! =) Kosher-ly!
I feel horrible about what those people put you through. “If you have something to say, silence becomes a lie.” – JP
I agree with DBA.
It was those “holier than thou people” that crucified Jesus, remember?
And of course I know, you “don’t paint a wide brush”, but you put that on our website, those of us “who knew” will comment!
I agree with DBA. Write about it! I admire you for even putting that out here after four months of suffering in silence. And they swept it all under the rug?
We, here, “don’t do likewise”.
Sorry in advance.
^ Like!
Brute: ““If you have something to say, silence becomes a lie.” – JP”
I wasn’t silent. I spoke up.
To their faces.
They didn’t like it.
Brute: “It was those “holier than thou people” that crucified Jesus, remember?”
Yes. And I like how Jesus said “You brood of vipers! Hypocrites!” LOL! Seriously, WE should all not paint a wide brush!
Brute: “And they swept it all under the rug?”
Usually people would be chosen to “pick a side”. It’s sad when there are troubles between those who say they are “Believers”. I am more of a “Follower”. Of Jesus. Above all else. like ALL, I don’t care about organizations much WHEN having to choose between Jesus and them. What happened to me there was so wrong in ALL angles, and I will not be gaslighted. Greater is HE who is in me than he who is in the world. If anything, my faith in God got super tested while I was there.
To lay down one’s life for strangers because you want to help is yes, borderline crazy for most people. But I know in my heart ALL of us who went there to help had good intentions. Those two people who hurt me while there, have their own battles in their minds. It got the better of them. I know they won’t forget me, because for once, maybe, someone stood up to them.
It’s in the bible, NEVER allow the good you have done to be spoken of as evil. What they did to me WAS evil. But surely, they helped others there too. They just hurt me, and I am a tough person. I’ve gone through worse things.
God is my Deliverer. God allowed it to happen, it went through His Permissive Will for a reason.
The color of my skin, the content of my brain, I thank God for all of it. If people have an issue with it, it is more their problem than mine.
And I should have CLOSED the comments on this post! LOL!
I use this page as a link on my CV you people! LOL!
I value your inputs / insights. I know you want to kind of “cheer me on” or “cheer me up” and I appreciate it.
I however felt like I had to MOVE the comments out of that post. I felt like being in the “middle” – you know how that experience broke me, they didn’t. I know and STILL value the work that they do. And you guys have a different perspective because we all have different belief systems.
So I did the changes and split the post and the comments. 🙂
The point of that post is an anchor memory for me, there were some good in it. I met so many people on my plane trip from Houston to Dallas Texas then to Burbank California, and my long road trip from Burbank to Lancaster by myself, using a rental car, in an empty airport, at a covid hotspot. Driving through mountainous zigzag and dessert very late at night. With no sleep.
Those two people who mistreated while I was there in Lancaster CA in a place I’ve never been to before, they had to let it out on someone. Better me than to someone else who might have been weaker in faith. God helped me through it all.
Another doctor friend of mine told me if they were “active in social media” – they must have seen those many pictures of me too. I didn’t really know. I only saw ALL of those after I got back to Texas. I only saw the Insta g r am at first.
Anyway, Jesus helps in my healing. I often still can’t believe there are people like that who can just feel free to do as they did. Sad. But life goes on. 🙂
Thanks for all your help! (I closed the comment in that post, so if you want to comment about it, we can do that here.
Or we can continue with our testing! Sorry I left the first comment there, people jumped in after that. I think the blessing in disguise there is, AT LEAST you were inside the United States and not in Mozambique or Iraq or Bangladesh or elsewhere outside the country with those people. It was much easier for you to drive with your own getaway rental car, then fly back out! For sure, they won’t forget you!
If it still hurts you now? DBA is right. Write about it some more. You can write a novel. Only the story is actually true! Just change their names to Dumb and Dumber.
Or Three Stooges, there was another person who saw all these too remember? The neither hear nor there guy? (That might be the “lukewarm”!)

My thoughts:
SH Post on SCCM – they have provisions in your “Agreement”, no social media, then they plaster you on their photo ops? Doesn’t that put you at risk? Then those two individuals did that to you? Then they swept it under the rug? It should have been right versus wrong, not “image” or “brand” versus “person”. I purposely didn’t opine on the post itself, because I knew and you said you shared that post link with those who ask what type of project you did there. Because people won’t know. Well, I know you take pictures of anything, start blogging again and don’t let that eat you inside. They did NOT protect you while you were there. Fact. So please stop covering up for them. You said one time you learned of a colleague who killed himself. Hush hush, right? What if that same trauma happened to that person? These ARE businesses! It’s CLEAR to outsiders and “non-believers” – donations go to staff salaries first, then to where ever. And if they ever get a hold of anyone’s name and addresses (mailing email) – the solicitation never stops! And they outsource parts of their portals elsewhere – and people’s data get monetized. Remember you mentioned getting other “solicitations” from other companies on your “secret mailing address”? Come on man! You say “don’t paint a wide brush” – you did your part and submitted THE report. What did they do? NOTHING! So, the guilt of TWO people reported to the “Higher Ups”, when swept under the rug, is the guilt of ALL who are basically all okay with you being mistreated that way.
For me, I suggest you REMOVE that post because you are still giving them free advertisement that way. Do you want others to be treated the way they mistreated you? Do you want people to donate to them knowing they CONDONED those two people?
Sorry, I’m so angry right now, remembering how we all got worried for you after that horrible trip. And appreciate that you did not remove our comments but just split it from the original post. Times are tough for everyone and sorry you were their collateral damage. I saw all the “social media” posts with your pictures and I didn’t want to “rage comment” on those. But I hope you remove them from our website.
Thanks Dev. I appreciate your feedback. I will pray about that post.
The thing is, I sent links to that post to several people. I just embedded the “Live” links to the tweets. It’s easier to just put the embeddable ones on one page. So there was just one link to share.
It’s always an awkward question when people ask “how did that end?”
A lot of my Tech Recruiter friends told me it was NOT a benefit to me when I put that organization in my CV, since it means that when I work on a project, and I get “called”, I would have to drop everything and go.
There’s a lot of explaining on how one is just in a roster, and I own my time. But when i commit to a deployment, I’m contractually bound by it, since they take care of everything (plane tickets, accommodation, food). It really is 100% trust given to them. They have all my government IDs, passports, medical records, etc. That’s how I flew out there in less than 24 hours notice. 100% Trust. I trusted them with all that. But, since Managers want someone who would be focused on the job at hand. And not “just drop and go”.
So, when my contract expired, and they said they will extend and then we talk again afterwards.
After that unfortunate event, no one in their right mind would want to extend. And I’m still in my right mind.
So I will not lie when asked. But then, it would just be dependent on a Hiring Manager – whether they’d appreciate one highly skilled, highly educated candidate with integrity and strong conviction, or someone who will just do as they are told without regard to what’s right and what’s wrong.
We all can do business, but doing business with integrity is something else. I’m not worried about projects. We have my personal ministry and personal business. :-). God provides. \o/
They are protecting their “brand”. We are protecting a “person”! Even if it’s just one!
Thank you.
Dev, love you Bro!
CW, I’ll use your favorite line “choose not to be offended”. You are loved by a couple of us here! Let this website be one without censorship or gag-gery. I’d be really interested to READ your entire Report! Don’t let them do a “silence of the lambs” on you.
Also, those who would “inquire” – it’s a David and Goliath thing.
Be true to yourself bro – what do you and how do you honestly feel now about that organization? Open your mind to other “perspectives” – then make your decision.
Trauma is tricky, so just know you have a lot of back ups. It’s good you told your Pastor friend and your doctor friend WHILE it was happening.
No weapon formed against you will prosper. God got you out of there. I agree with what Dev boldly wrote! No advertisements here remember? Don’t elevate them. After what they put you through, they don’t deserve it and FRANKLY, after what they swept under the rug, they deserve exposure.
Thank you. Yes, it’s like opening up a deep wound. Ouch. But thank you.
Oh also your get-away car rental people also know!
Yes, i am a member of most car rental companies with all the traveling I do. The “look” on that person’s face when the rental company arranged for my replacement car so quickly at a much MUCH lower rate!
Yes, my getaway car! 🙂
You were with them four years! So you have something to say. I will repeat ….
“If you have something to say, silence becomes a lie.” – JP
Write about it and publish it. It will be good for you!
I’ve always been of the opinion and belief that I “should not discuss an issue with anyone that will not help me resolve it – best discussed among the persons concerned”. I did that. Face to face with those two people – it wasn’t as if I took things sitting down – I fought back and when it was time for me to turn them over to My God, the One who knows all, I felt lighter. I felt guided to put it all in writing, ALL of it, with pictures even and documentary evidence – when I wrote that that report will stand on its own – it can stand in any court. But God is the judge. I gave them my word that I will not sue. I wrote that report as a protection for me too – if they sue me because I was there, I helped, I was mistreated, then wrote about it, then filed a whistleblower report, then suffered and still suffer for what they did, then, whatever happens, happens. I wrote that because I also would never want it to happen to someone else like me, who trusted them 100%.
I can never forget the kindness of the lady who went to my hotel room to give me a bottle of water and food the night I was packing to leave the next early morning – with no sleep too. There also was a guy chaplain who texted me kind things on my trip back. Then the many strangers turned angels that God sent my way. The guy at the rental company who gave me his name when I got there, and he said he appreciated that i flew from Texas to help their community in California, and he knew I knew nothing about the roads from Burbank to Lancaster and he gave me tips. That to always STOP when tired or sleepy, because there are lots of accidents he hears about from outsiders who are not familiar with their roads. Especially after a flight when people can get disoriented from jet lag. He gave me his name so he said I can namedrop his name so I can get helped hauling my 5 luggage from the second floor car rental place to the airport building. God sent me a kind police officer when He saw me struggling with my luggage when I first got there. If anything I will be writing about my FUN God Moments. I have a lot!
CW – what happened to you wasn’t like Barnabas and Paul. It was more like what happened between Jesus and Judas.
Brute, you’re brutal! I spilled my coffee on my phone laughing!
Brute!!!!!! LOL! The Brutal!!!!
Okay peeps! Enough already! And thank you! We go build our own social media and help people on how to build their own! 🙂
Back on my laptop and my wifi is in its full wonkiness. I’m using my personal hotspot on this. I will continue on working at CLG.
Keep those “thoughts” coming, let’s just keep it “kosher”. And “anonymous” on the names.
Got a quick call for a “rescue” after my last post above.
I learned from a previous help that I extended to someone at the wee hours of the morning, you know those “tow trucks” that Car Insurance companies send out? They are also ALL outsourced! I learned (because the honest tow truck driver showed me – two entrepreneurs sharing tips 🙂 )
The Insurance Companies also have a roster of tow truck companies, they have an app, so they send out the name of the person needing roadside assistance, and it gets “blasted” and “whomever tow truck company” commits, to picking the car up, can just “bill the car insurance company”.
Guess how much? It ranged between $175 to $200 PER car pickup. Imagine picking up stranded vehicles who always would be happy to see you. 🙂
I learned that before I got my Mission Van. I considered buying a Big Pickup Truck, but then I thought… hmmmm, a lot of people in that market already 🙂 Thought I’d share that here too!
And in case you’re wondering what vehicle I used for my afternoon rescue?
My clunky old Mission Car! 🙂 (With a brand new clutch! Ouch! $1400 repair plus labor! … yeah, I might have to work out the donate button here again. 🙂
On the U.S. Conference Call Phone Number:
I learned that for some MJ App users, when they dial in it goes to a recording that is is a “pay per minute line”, so I reported to MJ that it is NOT a pay per minute line but our Conference Call line. That happens because for MJ App users, they might have a list of phone numbers that are in their list. Maybe the previous owner of that phone # was a pay per minute line.
In case it doesn’t get changed in two business days, I’ll request for a new Conference Call line number. And then just update the Events and Conference Calls Forum:
Please also call in and see if the redirect also says it’s a Pay per minute on your devices. The Online Virtual Phone I put up there on the Sidebar is always free. That’s how I did the other recordings on the NT Audio Bible that I have yet to complete. I can’t record still because I still cough a lot! 🙂
The link above doesn’t breakdown on my phone ^.
Thanks! I shortened the link text. With the WP Core updates, it automatically either changes the display of links, so we would have to remember to check those (I didn’t! LOL!)
It should break down automatically with the codes I customized. I changed the link text
/* Just shorten - Long Links, had to add spaces, the code below of the link should not have spaces, so you'll see the structure*/
Oops I just tried it on my Mobile Phone, it says it will incur a 1 cent charge per minute!
Okay, help me decide here.
I can keep the Virtual Phone for free for everyone. 🙂
Or inquire if changes to the conference call number would help.
OKAY, talk about talking straight to people who will help me resolve issues ….
I spoke to PAUL, of FCCHD, he gave me a back up number!
There ARE companies who work WITH integrity!
When they say FREE, they mean FREE!
Unfortunately some telco companies want a piece of the conference call market pie. So I’ll update the Conference Call page with the Back Up number too.
So, glad I spoke to Paul and asked how FCCHD earn money. They also have PAID numbers as well. They have a FREE HD Conference Call using the old school technology, (that I personally used for at least solid three years WEEKLY, when I had people from overseas calling in as well, and using the Virtual Phone I set up on my other Personal Blog).
So for U.S. Based callers using T-Mobile or Metro PCS, Paul said those companies are the ones charging and not FCCHD. They said they noticed so that I can use the Back up number he gave and also told him that I’ll be publishing it on our portals. 🙂 Permission granted to publish the backup number 🙂
So for U.S. Based People who want to join the Conference Call,
Dial
+1(520) 420-9092
Then you’ll hear a recording that says “In order to join the Conference Call using this back up number, you’ll need the Conference Call number and the Access Code.”
So just input our U.S. Conference Call Dial In number.
(712) 770-4160 #
Access code: 533739 #
I also tested the Replay Line, it goes straight to it.
+1 (712) 770-4169
Access code: 533739 #
I told Paul I was recording bible stories in there too, and we were laughing. People can hear bible stories, being read, when calling a replay line! 🙂
How’s that for creative ways to spread the Gospels? 🙂
So maybe my hackers can have a change of heart. 🙂
The numbers above automatically switches to a “call number” on my phone.
Years ago, when I was blogging daily, people said they thought “twice” because they said they wouldn’t want to be blogged about. 🙂
You know when my doxxing kinda stopped bothering me?
When I blogged about it in another website and then started publishing the EXACT I.P. addresses of my hackers. And gave “hints” on what I knew about their “hack attempts” – with screenshots even of exact time! No libel there, they can sue me if they want for publishing their attempts at hacking those sites.
I even published their usernames!
Those group of spammer hackers I reported that shut down ABOUT 200 spammer websites, surely, they didn’t know what hit them. When the “GOOD” I.T. people did their jobs to clean up after their junk when they victimize people and small businesses.
They still hack and spam me. So I just publish posts to let people know that I am going through that type of technical hell.
Also Business Credit Cards getting fraudulently charged.
Hell.
BUT JESUS! 🙂 God always lets me know, like a little prodding, “Go log in to your business accounts”… and then I notice those fraudulent charges! From different States!
It’s just annoying, but we just gotta check often. There are still a lot of good in the world. And there are still a lot of good people in the world. There are also a lot of evil I.T. people who want to silence good I.T. people from informing others or teaching others how to protect themselves and their devices.
All these “simple looking” websites, can have a lot of backdoor access.
So, Admins have a lot of responsibilities!
God gave us all a brain – we can think for ourselves. God gave us a pair of ears, to listen. And a mouth, so we can speak.
Freedom of speech.
Jesus said “Spread the Gospels” – that’s the great commission. Not “Spread the narrative”. Not “Spread the brand.”
And I am baking banana bread because my kiddo wants some. 🙂
I saw your pictures too on Instagram and on their FB and on their website. If people only knew what happened to you while there. Like what you said “God knows.”
Yes. God knows. And I will keep it at that.
That would be a good sad true story that I pray you publish someday. The truth sets everyone free, right?

Submitting that report set ME free. (Because whomever Christ frees, is free indeed.”)
The sad truth and the sad story and sad experience EQUIPPED me to make a wise Godly informed decision to report it anyway. And be ready to walk away.
Time to move on.
Even Barnabas and Paul had disagreements. God will always work it out for my good. Those two people will ALWAYS remember too, what they did to me. And they have the rest of their lives to shoulder that guilt, should the Lord allow them to realize how they have so hurt me. I told everyone concerned that my Whistleblower Report (40 pages or so) will stand on its own. But I am not going to lie for anybody or any organization.

The point of that post is an anchor memory for me, there were some good in it. I met so many people on my plane trip from Houston to Dallas Texas then to Burbank California, and my long road trip from Burbank to Lancaster by myself, using a rental car, in an empty airport, at a covid hotspot. Driving through mountainous zigzag and dessert very late at night. With no sleep.
Those two people who mistreated while I was there in Lancaster CA in a place I’ve never been to before, they had to let it out on someone. Better me than to someone else who might have been weaker in faith. God helped me through it all.

For me, I suggest you REMOVE that post because you are still giving them free advertisement that way. Do you want others to be treated the way they mistreated you? Do you want people to donate to them knowing they CONDONED those two people?
Sorry, I’m so angry right now, remembering how we all got worried for you after that horrible trip. And appreciate that you did not remove our comments but just split it from the original post. Times are tough for everyone and sorry you were their collateral damage. I saw all the “social media” posts with your pictures and I didn’t want to “rage comment” on those. But I hope you remove them from our website.
Thanks Dev. I appreciate your feedback. I will pray about that post.
The thing is, I sent links to that post to several people. I just embedded the “Live” links to the tweets. It’s easier to just put the embeddable ones on one page. So there was just one link to share.
It’s always an awkward question when people ask “how did that end?”
A lot of my Tech Recruiter friends told me it was NOT a benefit to me when I put that organization in my CV, since it means that when I work on a project, and I get “called”, I would have to drop everything and go.
There’s a lot of explaining on how one is just in a roster, and I own my time. But when i commit to a deployment, I’m contractually bound by it, since they take care of everything (plane tickets, accommodation, food). It really is 100% trust given to them. They have all my government IDs, passports, medical records, etc. That’s how I flew out there in less than 24 hours notice. 100% Trust. I trusted them with all that. But, since Managers want someone who would be focused on the job at hand. And not “just drop and go”.
So, when my contract expired, and they said they will extend and then we talk again afterwards.
After that unfortunate event, no one in their right mind would want to extend. And I’m still in my right mind.
So I will not lie when asked. But then, it would just be dependent on a Hiring Manager – whether they’d appreciate one highly skilled, highly educated candidate with integrity and strong conviction, or someone who will just do as they are told without regard to what’s right and what’s wrong.
We all can do business, but doing business with integrity is something else. I’m not worried about projects. We have my personal ministry and personal business. :-). God provides. \o/
They are protecting their “brand”. We are protecting a “person”! Even if it’s just one!
Thank you.
Dev, love you Bro!
CW, I’ll use your favorite line “choose not to be offended”. You are loved by a couple of us here! Let this website be one without censorship or gag-gery. I’d be really interested to READ your entire Report! Don’t let them do a “silence of the lambs” on you.
Also, those who would “inquire” – it’s a David and Goliath thing.
Be true to yourself bro – what do you and how do you honestly feel now about that organization? Open your mind to other “perspectives” – then make your decision.
Trauma is tricky, so just know you have a lot of back ups. It’s good you told your Pastor friend and your doctor friend WHILE it was happening.
No weapon formed against you will prosper. God got you out of there. I agree with what Dev boldly wrote! No advertisements here remember? Don’t elevate them. After what they put you through, they don’t deserve it and FRANKLY, after what they swept under the rug, they deserve exposure.
Thank you. Yes, it’s like opening up a deep wound. Ouch. But thank you.
Oh also your get-away car rental people also know!
Yes, i am a member of most car rental companies with all the traveling I do. The “look” on that person’s face when the rental company arranged for my replacement car so quickly at a much MUCH lower rate!
Yes, my getaway car! 🙂
You were with them four years! So you have something to say. I will repeat ….
“If you have something to say, silence becomes a lie.” – JP
Write about it and publish it. It will be good for you!
I’ve always been of the opinion and belief that I “should not discuss an issue with anyone that will not help me resolve it – best discussed among the persons concerned”. I did that. Face to face with those two people – it wasn’t as if I took things sitting down – I fought back and when it was time for me to turn them over to My God, the One who knows all, I felt lighter. I felt guided to put it all in writing, ALL of it, with pictures even and documentary evidence – when I wrote that that report will stand on its own – it can stand in any court. But God is the judge. I gave them my word that I will not sue. I wrote that report as a protection for me too – if they sue me because I was there, I helped, I was mistreated, then wrote about it, then filed a whistleblower report, then suffered and still suffer for what they did, then, whatever happens, happens. I wrote that because I also would never want it to happen to someone else like me, who trusted them 100%.
I can never forget the kindness of the lady who went to my hotel room to give me a bottle of water and food the night I was packing to leave the next early morning – with no sleep too. There also was a guy chaplain who texted me kind things on my trip back. Then the many strangers turned angels that God sent my way. The guy at the rental company who gave me his name when I got there, and he said he appreciated that i flew from Texas to help their community in California, and he knew I knew nothing about the roads from Burbank to Lancaster and he gave me tips. That to always STOP when tired or sleepy, because there are lots of accidents he hears about from outsiders who are not familiar with their roads. Especially after a flight when people can get disoriented from jet lag. He gave me his name so he said I can namedrop his name so I can get helped hauling my 5 luggage from the second floor car rental place to the airport building. God sent me a kind police officer when He saw me struggling with my luggage when I first got there. If anything I will be writing about my FUN God Moments. I have a lot!
CW – what happened to you wasn’t like Barnabas and Paul. It was more like what happened between Jesus and Judas.
Brute, you’re brutal! I spilled my coffee on my phone laughing!
Brute!!!!!! LOL! The Brutal!!!!
Okay peeps! Enough already! And thank you! We go build our own social media and help people on how to build their own! 🙂
Back on my laptop and my wifi is in its full wonkiness. I’m using my personal hotspot on this. I will continue on working at CLG.
Keep those “thoughts” coming, let’s just keep it “kosher”. And “anonymous” on the names.
Got a quick call for a “rescue” after my last post above.
I learned from a previous help that I extended to someone at the wee hours of the morning, you know those “tow trucks” that Car Insurance companies send out? They are also ALL outsourced! I learned (because the honest tow truck driver showed me – two entrepreneurs sharing tips 🙂 )
The Insurance Companies also have a roster of tow truck companies, they have an app, so they send out the name of the person needing roadside assistance, and it gets “blasted” and “whomever tow truck company” commits, to picking the car up, can just “bill the car insurance company”.
Guess how much? It ranged between $175 to $200 PER car pickup. Imagine picking up stranded vehicles who always would be happy to see you. 🙂
I learned that before I got my Mission Van. I considered buying a Big Pickup Truck, but then I thought… hmmmm, a lot of people in that market already 🙂 Thought I’d share that here too!
And in case you’re wondering what vehicle I used for my afternoon rescue?
My clunky old Mission Car! 🙂 (With a brand new clutch! Ouch! $1400 repair plus labor! … yeah, I might have to work out the donate button here again. 🙂
On the U.S. Conference Call Phone Number:
I learned that for some MJ App users, when they dial in it goes to a recording that is is a “pay per minute line”, so I reported to MJ that it is NOT a pay per minute line but our Conference Call line. That happens because for MJ App users, they might have a list of phone numbers that are in their list. Maybe the previous owner of that phone # was a pay per minute line.
In case it doesn’t get changed in two business days, I’ll request for a new Conference Call line number. And then just update the Events and Conference Calls Forum:
/share/forum/events-and-conference-calls/
Please also call in and see if the redirect also says it’s a Pay per minute on your devices. The Online Virtual Phone I put up there on the Sidebar is always free. That’s how I did the other recordings on the NT Audio Bible that I have yet to complete. I can’t record still because I still cough a lot! 🙂
The link above doesn’t breakdown on my phone ^.
Thanks! I shortened the link text. With the WP Core updates, it automatically either changes the display of links, so we would have to remember to check those (I didn’t! LOL!)
It should break down automatically with the codes I customized. I changed the link text
/* Just shorten - Long Links, had to add spaces, the code below of the link should not have spaces, so you'll see the structure*/
/share/forum/events-and-conference-calls/
< a SPACE href = "https WHATEVER SITE" then SPACE target = "_blank" SPACE rel = "noopener" >WHATEVER LINK < / a >
– also added the code below to CSS Codes for good measure:
/* Blog Post Comments - Author Comment Content - Long Links*/
div.comment-content.a {
word-wrap: break-word !important;
}
Oops I just tried it on my Mobile Phone, it says it will incur a 1 cent charge per minute!
Okay, help me decide here.
I can keep the Virtual Phone for free for everyone. 🙂
Or inquire if changes to the conference call number would help.
OKAY, talk about talking straight to people who will help me resolve issues ….
I spoke to PAUL, of FCCHD, he gave me a back up number!
There ARE companies who work WITH integrity!
When they say FREE, they mean FREE!
Unfortunately some telco companies want a piece of the conference call market pie. So I’ll update the Conference Call page with the Back Up number too.
So, glad I spoke to Paul and asked how FCCHD earn money. They also have PAID numbers as well. They have a FREE HD Conference Call using the old school technology, (that I personally used for at least solid three years WEEKLY, when I had people from overseas calling in as well, and using the Virtual Phone I set up on my other Personal Blog).
So for U.S. Based callers using T-Mobile or Metro PCS, Paul said those companies are the ones charging and not FCCHD. They said they noticed so that I can use the Back up number he gave and also told him that I’ll be publishing it on our portals. 🙂 Permission granted to publish the backup number 🙂
So for U.S. Based People who want to join the Conference Call,
Dial
+1(520) 420-9092
Then you’ll hear a recording that says “In order to join the Conference Call using this back up number, you’ll need the Conference Call number and the Access Code.”
So just input our U.S. Conference Call Dial In number.
(712) 770-4160 #
Access code: 533739 #
I also tested the Replay Line, it goes straight to it.
+1 (712) 770-4169
Access code: 533739 #
I told Paul I was recording bible stories in there too, and we were laughing. People can hear bible stories, being read, when calling a replay line! 🙂
How’s that for creative ways to spread the Gospels? 🙂
So maybe my hackers can have a change of heart. 🙂
The numbers above automatically switches to a “call number” on my phone.
Years ago, when I was blogging daily, people said they thought “twice” because they said they wouldn’t want to be blogged about. 🙂
You know when my doxxing kinda stopped bothering me?
When I blogged about it in another website and then started publishing the EXACT I.P. addresses of my hackers. And gave “hints” on what I knew about their “hack attempts” – with screenshots even of exact time! No libel there, they can sue me if they want for publishing their attempts at hacking those sites.
I even published their usernames!
Those group of spammer hackers I reported that shut down ABOUT 200 spammer websites, surely, they didn’t know what hit them. When the “GOOD” I.T. people did their jobs to clean up after their junk when they victimize people and small businesses.
They still hack and spam me. So I just publish posts to let people know that I am going through that type of technical hell.
Also Business Credit Cards getting fraudulently charged.
Hell.
BUT JESUS! 🙂 God always lets me know, like a little prodding, “Go log in to your business accounts”… and then I notice those fraudulent charges! From different States!
It’s just annoying, but we just gotta check often. There are still a lot of good in the world. And there are still a lot of good people in the world. There are also a lot of evil I.T. people who want to silence good I.T. people from informing others or teaching others how to protect themselves and their devices.
All these “simple looking” websites, can have a lot of backdoor access.
So, Admins have a lot of responsibilities!
God gave us all a brain – we can think for ourselves. God gave us a pair of ears, to listen. And a mouth, so we can speak.
Freedom of speech.
Jesus said “Spread the Gospels” – that’s the great commission. Not “Spread the narrative”. Not “Spread the brand.”
And I am baking banana bread because my kiddo wants some. 🙂
You can add this session to “Rant” category! =)
LOL! Let it flush out! 🙂
