Robbins DISAPPOINTED me when I discovered the type of people he is associating with.

/watch?v=-9yu7HF8j4E

Tony: How can you associate with the known IM scammer Frank Kern and the IM Syndicate?

Tony you are DESTROYING your reputation by associating with those scumbags.. Get out while you still can!

What are you doing to stop these atrosities? Besides bitchin on youtube. Such an angry man. Good luck with that anger. Don't beat your wife.

@mbadial21 You do not know that for a fact. Don't believe everything you ear and read. It has been proven that most food never even reaches the people that need the food, because the corrupt governments steal the food and horde it. This is happening in Haiti and other countries. Every day 50,000 children still starve to death. Besides, whatever money Tony Robbins gives to charity is a TAX WRIGHT OFF, so he has motives.

[Jehovahourgod]

@mbadial21 You believe in the metaphysical and I know religion has been given a very bad rap which it greatly deserves. More and more people are becoming atheists and agnostics. I do not believe in religion, as the word is not even in the Bible. Man created RELIGION. Counterfeit Christianity has massive amount of bloodshed on their hands and will reap what they have sewn. The Bible teaches their is only one TRUTH and one FAITH. I personally pursue ultimate TRUTH.

[mbadial21]

Jesus would not waste time tearin down tony robbins. I know that for a fact. Study the man a great deal. Along with Buddha, Lao Tsu and Socrates. Peace is only possbile within. When you achieve peace you can show others how to as well. You will not achieve peace by watching the evil men play evil men games.

@jehovahourgod karma is real man. people like bernie madoff will get theirs. what ever created us gave us the ability to endure. The more we endure the more we can know a deeper level of happiness. Gotta SHOW people how to be happy and united. Not how to argue and fight more. Use your powerful emotions to improve somebodies life. Not tear down a money worshipper. But even Tony Robbins helped feed 30 million people.
