Fwd: Update...


---------- Forwarded message ----------

Several people have asked about the legal issues mentioned by me in an
e-mail to the field on Sunday evening. I thank you for your interest.

The Company experienced an inaccurate, incorrect posting on a website
almost a year ago by an outside entity. The posting was not only
inaccurate, but also not very helpful to our growth. After multiple
requests for the party to take down the irresponsible statements, especially
in light of the presentment of legal, documented proof of their error, we
were left with no other choice than to seek enforcement of our requests via
the courtroom.

Advantage Conferences is the plaintiff and is not being sued. We expect
full resolution in the next few months. Due to this being a legal issue,
there is not much more I can say in a public venue like this broadcast.

In business, there are always those who would like to see you not
realize the fruits of your labor; in fact, those attacks are inevitable,
especially to a boldly Christ-centered company. We have excellent legal
representation and have been excited and committed to continually meeting
any and all opposition head-on.

Thank you for your prayers - the best antidote to attack is simply
continuing to be successful by providing excellent products and service
to more and more people. I do expect further attacks in the future, but
I've always lived by the simple motto: "a man of integrity, when
questioned, allows time to prove him right". And that it will.

Blessings,


Tim Darnell

__________________________________________________ ______

Tim Darnell is rambling BS about his losing suit against the BBB of Dallas. That lie-filled e-mail Eric published was probably written after that lying sack of manure, Tim Darnell, had learned that Advantage Conferences had lost the suit. The actual Summary Judgment Motion hearing was on September 22, 2006. Check out the hearing dates on the docket and note the last entry I copied shows the order granting the win to the BBB and ordering Timmy's Advantage Conferences to pay all the BBB costs of court.

From the Better Business Bureau's Motion for Summary Judgment:

The BBB membership standards require....truth and honsty in advertising and selling practices....The (BBB) website raised concerns about AC's business model and the truthfulness of its advertising Specificallly, the BBB questioned AC's use of certain trademarks and copyrights found on its website, its earning representations and whether AC was primarily engaged in promoting a pyramid scheme.
