Hello Everyone.
I am glad to be a member of this forum... not sure how much I will post... but nice to know I can now.
I've been lurking for a year or more. Stumbled onto this site, put it in my favorites and actually forgot about it for some time. Something about it kept calling me and I would peek in from time to time. The first paper I read was the one on Tithing. I was surprised at how genuine and true it felt to me. I read it to my wife... and then we read the Hypocrites paper together. We are just now finishing Lake of Fire... I guess it has taken us 3 or 4 months but we really study it and love it.
The last year has been a big change for both my wife and I... we had always been very involved in church... especially in volunteering for things and home study groups (small groups). About 9 months ago the pastor of our church told us we weren't allowed to invite people from the church into our homes anymore for Bible study. Hehe... I guess that was the last kick we needed... we haven't been back since and thankfully we left with no resentment towards anyone... Now I was mad at that pastor for a month or so... but I just let it go and continuing to study Ray's papers made it easy to do so. I feel very blessed to be a part of this community of believers.
We get lonely at times because we did use to be so involved... but we understand that we will never fit in within a "church of man" again... so I thought I would see if I could join this little group.
Thank you!
Bobby

Dear Bobby and Wife,
That story rings so true for most of us here, so you have come to the right place...most of us have been ostricised from the denominational churches and infact are still getting it from them/Christiandom. Welcome in the name of the Lord and I pray that HE overflows your heart with joy that you cannot contain ;D. I have been here since Dec. 10, 2006 about 11 or 12 weeks now; feels I've been here for years b/c of the fellowship and love that we all share through the unity of THE SPIRIT :D

Hi Bobby,
Well I'm glad you have joined us :)
It seems you have made the most of the time you have since leaving the church, by studying bibletruths.
I have been through all of Ray's articles, but learn more every time I go back and read again.
I didn't come to the forum much at first, but now it's like family.
I hope you will join in and fellowship with us, and ask questions, someone here should be able to help you with a question.
mercy, peace, and love
Kat
