[Roy Martin]

Soberxp can't get Rays writing's on bibletruths.com. He gets the web site but when he clicks on a topic he gets nothing. Can or will someone explain whats happening?

Doesn't he live in China?

The links are simple html. If he can see the home page he should be able to see the rest of the site.

Unless China is blocking everything but the homepage.

Here is an excerpt of a article I found that may explain what is going on.  It's a few years old, but I think it is still probably relevant.

CHINA: Government blocks religious websites

Chinese web-users are denied access to a range of religious sites based abroad, Forum 18 News Service has found after a two-month survey of how far the Chinese government's Golden Shield firewall, used to censor the internet, affects access to religious websites. Sites blocked include those related to the persecution of Christians and other religious faiths.

In a bid to help remove "unacceptable" content from the web, the authorities launched a website in June encouraging web-users to report such "illegal" sites, including those on religious cult activity, violence, pornography or politically sensitive subjects. The website, http://net.china.cn/chinese/, is sponsored by the Internet Information Service Work Committee of the China Internet Association. After getting on the relevant page, which is indicated at the top of the homepage, "reporters" must provide their real name, gender, email address, telephone number, addresses, and the name and URL of the offending sites. They are then asked for details of the violations by the offending websites and the category of violations. There are eight categories, including "promoting cults" and "promoting violent superstitions". Other categories include sites that "violate constitutional principles", "attack the party and the government" and "violate social ethics (or morality)". There is one all-encompassing category called "other illegal and harmful messages". The "reporters" are assured of the confidentiality of the information they provide, but are warned that they bear personal responsibility for reporting erroneous information.

That's why in his welcome post I said that I was surprised that this website wasn't censored for him.  That being said it's easy enough to use a proxy server if this is the case for him.  He can access the website through an off shore (to him) proxy.  He may have to try a number of different ones until he finds one that works but with persistence it should be available. 

[Dennis Vogel]

But if he gets caught, it could be very bad. I wouldn't try it.

We should pray that God will make a way for soberxp to find a way to access the web pages safely..We all know that with God all things are possible and He won't leave one of us stranded alone without a way...God will provide a way..soberxp I will pray that our God will show you what to do...He's a Good God and a Generous Father!!

There is a lot to be said about soberxp just finding us from across the world, and wanting to join us in fellowship and learn from us.

Peace

Yes Roy, you're right, I'm praying for him...

Soberxp, no idea if this will work in China, but maybe you could try this URL:

http://us.worldproxy.tracking202.com/

Once there, type in "http://ww.bibletruths.com" in the box within the above site and hit Enter. Then save the entire website onto your harddrive, then you could just access the articles from your hard disk.

OR, I could save the entire site for you and then send it in a .ZIP file to your email address (?)

Cheers,
Jeremy

[soberxp]

thank you all.

the link has--been-banned-from http://us.worldproxy.tracking202.com/

URL Error (0): An error has occured while trying to browse through the proxy.
Failed to connect to the specified host. Possible problems are that the server was not found, the connection timed out, or the connection refused by the host. Try connecting again and check if the address is correct.

save the entire site for you and then send it in a .ZIP file to your email address

this way would be better.

Hey soberxp,

If you are OK with using proxies, try this site:

http://www.proxz.com/proxy_list_anonymous_us_0.html

You will see a large list of US proxies. Just try them until one works.

Do you know how to change your proxy setting in your browser? If not, what browser are you using? Firefox? IE?

soberxp,
i just want to tell you how much i admire your courage to pursue further being able to read and study the teachings from ray on the BT website, seeing how you live in a country that censors what you can and cannot learn on this website.  i pray for your safety as you continue to follow this path. this thread causes me to again give thanks to God the Father for the freedoms we have in america.
