He deserves his own thread. Tim Ballard is a wanker.

    Aw man I missed Douche Con. I wonder what gems The Bull is bringing to the table? It's all Bullshit I'm sure.

      I think a funny thing is that Tim Ballard chose to unwittingly reveal himself by attending the Con. Nothing in his regular scam purports that one needs to be an 'alpha.' He was supposed to be the white male version of Harriett Tubman and scamming at a much higher, more noble level. Seeing him juxtaposed with those guys on that flyer, though-- he looks right at home next to the Bull and the rest of the fairer skinned cast of Jersey Shore. I am definitely cringing a little for Aaron Wagner, though. He deserves better, probably. Maybe Jordan Pendleton would be a better former player fit for Douche Con.

          No. He is just as bad as any of them.

              I always pictured alphas with their hats on backwards. At least one of them has a flat billed hat.

              I know a lot of people that saw and loved the sound of freedom movie and I haven’t seen anyone of my friends defending TB. I guess I live in a different world than other on this site.

                    wait. You are saying that You simultaneously know a lot of people that like the movie, yet don’t know anyone that is defending Ballard?

                    I’m not sure what your point is.

                      Yes, I feel left out in this conversation since everyone seems to know a bunch of people that are actively defneding TB on social media...yet here I am with a lot of people that loved the movie but none of them are actively (or proactively) defending TB.

                          If there was any remaining questions (and no reasonable person should have been questioning it) on where the LDS church stood on the Ballard/OUR issue, the Deseret News just re-published the KSL article.
                          Tim Ballard, who was the inspiration for the recent hit film ‘Sound of Freedom,’ has often touted the group’s dangerous overseas missions to rescue trafficked children.

                              I'm good with the church not excommunicating people nearly as much as in years past over immorality or whatever. But if someone is out there purporting to have the support of the church in their efforts to get money from people, and are also doing the other immoral actions being alleged, then it needs to happen here. This has all the appearance of another disgusting sociopath taking advantage of people for personal gain by speaking to them through the language of their faith, which is repulsive.

                                Yeah this is the kind of realm where the Church needs to have a very short leash. These extremist groups are poisonous.
