I think you have missed the point. I don’t want or need anyone to beg me for information. I realize you think that is what this was about, but in all honesty, it wasn’t. I’m not looking for that kind of faceless validation like Wade was. God only knows what he is looking for from Denise. I’m simply pointing out that something was not right with this member change. Would you like the links to other sites asking these same questions? Granted, my observations are a bit biased based on what I already know, but that was the point. I’d love to hear some answers to those questions, but no one has them. Don’t beg me for anything; just tell me where I am so far off on this thing. Does anyone honestly think this was a normal changeover? Gaither takes in hundreds of millions of dollars each year (one estimate said a billion in homecoming videos alone have been sold), so don’t fool yourself into believing that he will not, and has not, gone to extreme measures to protect the image of the group and organization. Save you high school insults and name calling, if you want to make me look foolish, simply provide some quality answers to these questions. It’s that easy.

Wade….no sister. How nice of you to ask, however. My compliments to your brain cells.

DMP, you’ve already implied that you have all the answers. The funny things is, you’re the only one asking these questions. No one here is begging you to tell what you “know.” No one.

Here’s the problem Wade. If I came on here and said that there was “more” to the departure of say, Phelps, Lowry, or Mullins, people would just laugh it off. These passionate people that come out of the woodwork to tell me to shut up are the very proof that I’m not making this up. The fact that they are so passionate about it makes me wonder how much of the story I don’t know. Again, for people like Denise who say these questions are so easily answered, wouldn’t the Homecoming crowd be the very place for Guy to sell this album? Why did Gaither say the break was his idea, yet Guy came back and quit? Why did moderators on other sites say that anyone who knew anything about Guys “personal issues” knew he would not return? What was Michael English referring to in his Sutherland interview when he said “it broke Bill’s heart to do the things he had to do”? Why did Hall come back to fill in lead after his departure, but never Guy? Why did Guy leave to “go solo” without a website, record or schedule as if he just set out on a solo career on a whim? Why did it take him almost a year to get back out there? Why is Sutherland telling us all to mind our own business? I’m not, by far, the only one talking about this, so why don’t Gaither and Guy just do something together to clear the air like they did with Hall? Everything about the situation screams that there was more to this story.

Apparently not. Or am I the only one that’s been in the dark?

cynical one,
Easy there… I was not referring to the untold details, but to the oddities that exist surrounding the ones that we are all familiar with. I’d be happy to list them, I figured everyone is aware already.

DMP #38 — You said, “I’d go over the extremely odd details of his departure again if I didn’t think that you know them better than I do.” UNTRUE!

First, you’ve never gone over the details the first time, so there’s no “again” about it. Second, you’d already said you would NOT tell the details, well before denise ever started posting. So your telling of the details has absolutely nothing to do with whether she knows anything or not.

Let’s keep it real.

Very good Denise. I like having the last word. I still can not figure out why you seem to be fighting a battle that does not exist. I never, ever, ever said anything bad about Guy. I’m a huge fan. All I said was that there is more to the story. Do you know something I don’t? Because that’s what is sounds like to me. I’ve simply said there is “more.” Anyone who has worked in PR knows that there is the press release, and then there is the story. It’s common sense. I’m just not certain why that makes me so “unreasonable” to notice and point out. The only one who has put a bad spin on this is you, and I have a guess why, but it is just a guess, and contrary to what you believe, I’m not one to speculate. You simply have taken my words and put the worst possible spin on them. Why did you say I would eventually have to “tell the story from Bill and Gloria’s side”? How do you know what I know isn’t their side? Who said there were sides? Denise, you and I both know that there was more to that story, and I’d go over the extremely odd details of his departure again if I didn’t think that you know them better than I do. You come on here and call me unreasonable, one of “limited intelligence,” and refuse to comment simply because I have noticed what so many others did. Contrary to what you may think, I’m not the only one in cyberspace who noticed. Call me names in an attempt to discredit me, but the truth is the truth. I originally admitted I knew what had happened not to stir the pot, but to quell it. I said on numerous occasions that the real story wasn’t even very “good.” I said (numerous times) that in my opinion, there was nothing immoral, sinful or illegal done by Guy. There was not a scandalous story to dig up, it was just a personal issue. I don’t have a saying for what happens when the yelping dog runs away, but something tells me I should make one up.

I heard a well known pastor say something to a group of others pastors. He was talking about counseling people in his church. He instructed the pastors that, regrettably, some people are just unreasonable. They don’t want to be wrong, they just want to argue. He advised the group that it is a waste of time to deal with those people. He said, “You cannot reason with an unreasonable person.” A simple, life-altering fact of life.

DMP - Nothing about your diatribes here include any questions that are “tough” or make me want to run away. You are, evidently, a person of limited understanding and intelligence. And most certainly fall in to the above-mentioned “unreasonable person” group.

Therefore, I have chosen to ignore you and your vendetta against Guy Penrod. My time is very valuable to me and you.. DMP.. are not worth it. I don’t care what you think about Guy Penrod, Dottie Rambo and what people say about them. I am, and will continue to, ignore you….and any posts addressed to me by you. You are non-existent to me. Enjoy your little life.

A mix of both as I understand it. That is according to his fansite at Gaither Community. All is well with Guy.
