   Hello to all. My name is Timmy Krantz. I finally registered after soaking up all of Rays teachings I could. I have been a Christian since 1980, but a lot of the scriptures didn't make sense, until I found this site. I also use Earnest Martins website(hope this is OK as Ray mentioned him as well). Anyway, Husband for 42 years father of 4, Grandfather of 6, retired underground coal miner.

Hi Timmy,
I'm glad you have joined us 
Yes this forum is a good place to discuss and help cement in your mind all the things you have been studying in Ray's material. I think it really helps to discuss these things with other like minded people and this is the only place I have found to do that. Some of these things are really difficult to comprehend and there are so many coming here with differing perspectives and that helps. So jump into a discussion or start your own, we are all here to help one another.

Also as Alex was saying, here on the forum we have Bible studies and conferences on audio, video and transcribed, besides that which is on the main Bible-truths site. Here is a list of the different boards and info we have here at the forum that you may want to check out.

Welcome Timmy Krantz,

Glad to have you with us.
Underground sounds interesting and to the inexperienced a little scary.
Love to have you share your personal mining experiences and journey of faith.
We are having a "mining" for truth experience ourselves.

Please feel free to ask anything and please be patient with the "older" folks on the forum like me who may have forgotten the struggles of the past.

Warm regards, Ole Indiana-bob

   It's not as scary as you would think. The mine I worked in was at least 7-8 feet high by 16 feet wide,so no clastrophic for most peoole. Some imagine it to be black,but it's really mostly white due to the mandatory use of rockdusting every 20-30 feet of mining. The majority of the machines I ran had canopys over them that would support many tons if a minor fall should happen. Especially toward the end  of my career I had a few close calls. Thought the Good Lord was telling me something so I retired at 55 yrs old. Main interest is touring on my motorcycle with my beautifle wife Debbie, studying the scriptures and general piddling. We,as parents should be in the record books as having all 4 daughters in college in the same year. all have commited to Jesus and have good caeers. We've been blessed and are very thankful.
