Where were you?

I was really caught up in the prosperity doctrine; and having to eat bologna so there would be enough money to give.
I was planning on giving to Copeland & Dollar; did a search and the only thing my eyes could see was the link to the tithing article at Bible-Truths. I hesitated for a couple of minutes and finally clicked on the link. That was July 05'.
I was traveling alot anyway, so I decided to go and "check out" this L. Ray Smith fella when the news was posted about a conference in Mobile. Coincidence that the conference was the weekend before I had to be on the East Coast? (NOT)
Coincidence that the 06' conference was the weekend before I had to be on the East Coast? (NOPE)

I really felt uncomfortable that first day at the conference in 05'. My head was spinning so much.
But one thing I saw right off the bat; this man was genuine and backed up everything he said with Scripture. His love will rub off on you big time if you ever get the chance to meet him in person.

I could not wait to share my new knowledge, even being cautioned verbally, and with Scripture, that I would be hated and cursed. Man, I had no clue how bad it would be.
Since being drawn to B-T's, I have told many friends and family about the site; even printed about 200 pages to give to someone and never heard from them again. I know of only one that has gone to the site and read some of the material. 

BIG hug out to everyone.

Neat Post Everyone...  These stories remind me of a thread a while back that had some interesting  post where someone would "type" in a word, and  Rays site came up, but the next time they tried to key in the same word, the BT site did not appear.

I was doing a search on Tithing and I saw at the top to the Google search "Tithing is Unscriptural Under The New Covenant".  After clicking on the link and reading the article and a few NASTY (to put it mildly) emails to Ray.  I felt that this guy (Ray) KNOWS what he's talking about. 

Before then I would read a chapter a day and think I could get it.  WRONG!!!  Since reading the papers on the BT site, I've learned (THANK YOU JESUS!!)  that only God can call me in to a study of His truths.  He has to teach me to trust in His ability to do that (with God ALL things are possible) which I can NEVER do on my own.  Not that I agree with everything Ray has written to begin with.  But it's when the Lord removes the veil from my eyes (in God's appointed time), usually from the 2nd or 5th reading of the papers, that I see His truths as written through Ray.  For Ray is a vessel that was chosen to do what he has been called to do.
