		<description>Write what you want, Bud. Just write whatever it is you want to write. It doesn&#039;t matter -- to anyone of any importance. 

Your emails will not be answered. Conversation over. I&#039;ve already given you a good lead off for a new article (see above).

		<description>Dear Richard:

I can&#039;t believe you are saying this. I am amazed that you aren&#039;t telling the whole story.

On March 11, 2008, I provided you with documented information on Ken Blanchard and his participation in the New Age Movement. In turn, you wrote and requested additional information, and said that if Ken Blanchard had not grown in discernment in two years, you would make your findings public--and in private to Rick Warren.

The information I provided proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Ken Blanchard is deeply involved in the New Age Movement. The list on your website demonstrates only a fraction of Blanchard&#039;s participation in the New Age ( http://abanes.com/blanchardproblems.html ).

As a result of the information I provided (at your request), on March 31 you posted a &quot;NOTE &amp; WARNING&quot; on Ken Blanchard on your website at http://abanes.com/LTRP_PressRelease.html .

But in one particular e-mail, you wrote and said &quot;DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN,&quot; then wrote again days later and said, &quot;I am starting to look at Blanchard today,&quot; and requested further information.

I fully understand the responsibilities with your new book. No problem. But since March 11, those responsibilities didn&#039;t stop you from spending an incredible amount of time posting lengthy messages in various blogs and dealing with New Agers on &quot;YouTube.&quot; Many of your blog posts had nothing to do with your new book.

Certainly, while you are entitled to your own opinion, please keep in mind that if you refuse to provide a statement on New Ager Ken Blanchard, your new book exposing New Ager Eckhart Tolle may not sit well with the body of Christ, your publisher, and online and walk-in Christian bookstores.

Ken Blanchard claims to be a &quot;Christian,&quot; but his involvement with and participation in the New Age Movement is dangerous to the spiritual welfare of the believer, as well as those searching for the real Jesus Christ.  

Richard, I sent the information to you on Ken Blanchard out of love and concern for both you and your readers. I offered to talk with you over the phone, but you declined. I wasn&#039;t &quot;HARASSING&quot; you, and you know that. I simply fulfilled your requests for information.

And for the record, I am not out to destroy you or your reputation. You are doing enough of that on your own. I will, however, hold you accountable, as the Lord leads.

With that in mind, your readers deserve to know the whole story on Ken Blanchard. You have my permission to link to or post any and all of my articles concerning Ken Blanchard on your website and blogs.

Furthermore and for the record, you have my permission to post ALL of our e-mail correspondence on your website and blogs--in their entirety, please. 

Tell the whole story, Richard. Give your readers the opportunity to make-up their own minds. The documentation stands on its own. Truth will stand up to intensive investigation. 

Finally, Richard, words mean a lot to me, and I am not afraid to hold people accountable for the things they say and do. A man&#039;s word is his bond. I will honor your request. But at the same time, I will continue to remember you in my prayers. I will not shut the door on you. Should you have a change of heart, please feel free to contact me anytime, night or day.

In Christian love,
Bud Press, Director

		<description>Ken,

&lt;blockquote&gt;Indeed it does Richard. See you on the battlefield.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It is so sad that you a mere man think Truth needs your protection.

Jesus is The Truth... in that He protects us. You seem to have deified yourself to the point you think you need to protect Jesus from other men...

And that is not only sad, but blasphemous.
Know the Truth (Jesus) and he will set you free.

Again, my prayers are with you.

		<description>Bud,

You are not my father. You are not my mother. You are not my God. You are not my publisher. And you are not my parole officer. What on earth makes you think I&#039;m supposed to be reporting to you and justifying my time management and life activities to you?

Please stop HARASSING me -- and that&#039;s what your doing now with your incessant emails &amp; online posts. 

I told you that I&#039;d get to Ken Blanchard and make my report when possible, given my responsibilities. I&#039;ve already begun the research, and have even posted a caution about him to persons visiting my website.

My book on Eckhart Tolle is finished, but my work on the project is not complete, contrary to your pestering me about my work being done and asking me if I&#039;m going to keep my word (which has more than one not-so-subtle implication). 

My 6-8 week estimation did not take into account more aspects of the book&#039;s publication that have come up - and TBH, it&#039;s none of your business what those added responsibilities are based on requests from the publisher.

So just go ahead and whatever you want to say about me on your website. Whatever I do or say won&#039;t make a difference anyway. So, please just feel free  invent some tantalizing conspiratorial scenario -- here I&#039;ll help.

Ken Blanchard, who is really my Uncle Kenny, called and pleaded with me to not expose his true New Age agenda, which is to teach the church how to Lead Like A New Age Jesus. And to bribe me, he deposited $30 million into a Swiss Bank account with the last 3 numbers being 666. I told him that this would be acceptable, and that I&#039;d never say anything negative about his book endorsements or associations with new Agers as long as I not only got the cash, but also was promoted to the Regional Director of the Illuminati, complete with my own special &quot;I&quot; embroidered blazer, a coat of arms pin, and a direct special hot phone line to the Vatican.

There you go, Bud. A whole new article for you. :-) You&#039;re welcome. I wish you the best. And please, please, stop wasting your time emailing me -- you&#039;re most definitely top-listed now on my spam filter.

		<description>Hi Richard:

Speaking of going on to other things, now that your new book is done, and the &quot;6-8&quot; week deadline you established is past, are you going to keep your word and make your findings on Ken Blanchard public? If so, when?
