wow this makes me feel so nervous about the GM play.
i did get permission from everyone involved, and all are now in the script anonymously. but all my permissions were saved on the old board in my PM folder, i still need some permissions (again) from some GMs...
i hate it when people take advantage. this is just so evil.

But your mission with the GM play is sooooo different to this book's message. The play is in accordance with the site's mission statement.

This is fucking awful...I can't believe someone would come here and steal our words, then try to justify it b/c they made a buck. I didn't know that was a "christian" thing to do.

*What makes me even sicker is that i've got one of those damn MOPS books sitting here that Ben's cousin gave me...i haven't even looked at it, just been trying to sell it on ebay.

This is fucking bullshit. I can't believe people would stoop SO freaking low to make a buck. If you really resepected and understood teen mamas you wouldn't have done this. You are a horrible example of Christianity and all it stands for and I hope that the Girlmoms you took advantage of are able to sue you for this.

There were a bunch of bad reviews on Amazon from gms, but they are all deleted. How the heck did she manage that?

This woman is evil.

how is that accurate if you can just go and delete all your bad reviews?
that's so fucked!
i didnt know amazon would let you do that...maybe if it gets bad reviews they wont sell as many books.
i wont be buying from amazon anymore.

at amazon.com you can report an ad that goes against the policy or something like that and amazon will remove,

lets all try instead of this author sucks and stole things, just recommending You look to young to be a mom, they aren't deleting that....

My desire all along has been to offer help and hope to young moms.

Help and Hope? Then where is their cut? How are you helping a young mama by stealing her words and making a profit off of them? You know that she could be struggling- you said you've been there before. Do you know what it's like to depend on food stamps to eat? To wait in line for hours at a WIC clinic just to get some milk or cheese? To struggle every day to make ends meet and keep working each day when it seems never ending? To have ONE safe space, ONE haven where you can be yourself, vent about the bad but also find encouragement in the mamas who have been there and are there, knowing you're not alone and then have that haven invaded by someone who just wants to make a buck?

You are not exhibiting Christ like qualities. Jesus turned the tables over of the people collecting money in the synagogue, it was wrong. This is our synagogue, it is OUR place and you're collecting money- taking it from us. He would turn your table over too. Jesus didn't eat with the tax collectors and thieves to steal from them. If you feel we need enlightened, then use your own words your own thoughts to do so. Don't steal from us. I hope you get your just desserts.

My fucking reply was deleted and I didn't say anything about this situation. That is really bad buisness practice, and just wrong.

ALL of the reviews on the book have been deleted! Good and bad! If she can't take the heat, she shouldn't have done what she did in the first place.

As far as I can tell, all of the reviews are back, although the ones of priase are on the first page and are the only ones included in the book's 'average rating'.

my review is still gone and look at this gem:
Don't Believe The Dishonest Reviews, August 27, 2004
Reviewer: Jason C. Wert (Mountain Grove, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
It's a shame that a group of people choose to lie about the writer of this book and the content within. It's obvious the book hits right in the emotional spot the book needs to...otherwise you wouldn't see the misdirected anger you see. I feel for these women who think they have to paint a dishonest picture about the author of this book to ease their own troubled spirit.

Having known many teen moms over the years, I know this book could be an inspiration at a time a lot of young mothers wouldn't know which way to turn. The honesty in the book is what makes it so appealing and a must read for anyone who is dealing with this situation in their lives.

Don't believe the lies being posted below...this book is solid and could be a wonderful tool to help those hurting.

Was this review helpful to you? YesNo (Report this)

This just irritates me to no end!! I cant believe people are sticking up for her when she steals words from young moms in the one place we feel safe.

TRICIA GOYER! You know what? You may feel like you don't have to answer to us, but you will have to answer to God! You were dishonest, you stoled direct quotes and switched around the words and meanings to fit your own agenda. How can you steal quotes and while doing so, do it all in the name of God?!?!?! Not only did you steal quotes, but the only thing you can offer to these girls is a copy of your book?!?! What the hell is up with that? What is your book about? Yeah, I was a teen mom... I messed up and had pre-marital sex, but now I'm a devout Christian and I make sure to send my little baby to Sunday school every Sunday and now God has forgiven me and everyone at church loves me because now I know how terrible I was to have a child out of wedlock!

Hi Jason,
Knowing many teen moms and being an actual teen mom is two totally and completely different things. You can know as many as you want, but if you're not one yourself then you have NO clue! Of course, the book would be appealing and honest because Miss Tricia Goyer stoled our quotes and poetry from some of greatest girlmom writers! DUH! I wonder if Jason has even read this book? Or if he's just posting rebuttal's for his dear poetry-quote stealing friend!
