Wow Nicky, what excellent English you speak ! ;) Welcome and congratulations on seeking and finding the Truth! You are a pretty wise and young man to know as much truth as you do. god has really blessed you, i can see that! Have you read all of Rays' papers? You are a very interesting guy Nicky. Have you ever been to the United States? You would get along and fit in very well over here, I am sure. It sounds as if God has some great plans for you to start living out! Count yourself blessed b/c I am 45 y.o. and just learned the full meaning of HIS TRUTHS a year ago. Do you have any like minded believers where you live that you van fellowship wiht? God has certainly sacttered HIS children all of the globe, hasn't he?
So what kind of baseball teams do they have over there? i used to go and watch Johnny Bench and Pete Rose play when I was a kid and living in Cincinnati, Ohio. :o I used to play firstbase on a girls soft ball league and I was able to help us to become the winners for our age division in Cincinnati by making a grand slam homerun (the only grand slam that I ever hit too...) I am sorry, I digress... ;)
Oh, btw, I live in a country all it's own....TEXAS ;) ;D ;D

Yes, I have started to speak some of the truths. But only the truths I can understand, so I won't get into an awkward position on a debait.
I have one friend who has also withdrawn his membership. I can talk freely about all these things with him and I think that he could start to understand these truths if he would study (but only if God has ment it so, of course). He can understand that not everyone is chosen to understand these truths and that many priests and ministers do not have a clue on what they are talking about.
Then there are those people who are absolutely blind. One girl, who I tried to share these truths with, just didn't think that there is anything wrong in Hell. I asked her, that how can God be love and torture people for all eternity. She just started to explain about free will and how we can choose to go to heaven and it wouldn't be love if God would force us there. I tried to make her see that even if we had a free will, there is no way that God can be love if He TORTURES FOR NO REASON. Why then doesn't God simply just make those people vanish.
This may be little funny, but it's sad, very sad, actually, that someone really thinks like this: I asked her the question in the simplest form: does she think that ETERNAL punishment is just. She said that YES it is! That is creepy and sick... Whoa... I'm pretty amazed how someone can say that with clear eyes and does not hesitate in admitting it! Horrible, just horrible, I think... =(

No, I can't say that I have. And I probably will read those which I have again, because there are probably things, that I didn't pay too much attention on the first read. Now I'm listening to his audios, which are also very interesting.

--- End quote ---
Nope, I haven't. Maybe I visit US sometime, but not in the near future, because I have to spend my money on studying and ensure my living and income here before I can travel abroad.

I don't doubt that, I'm sure that I would get along with you guys just fine, but I wouldn't move to america, because I like the way things are here. =)

I have one friend, with whom I discuss these things now, but I hope that God does open some eyes around here, so that we wouldn't feel so alone.

Heh, to be honest, I don't know. I don't know even a single team's name. I'm not so much into sports. I play some badminton with my dad and thats about the only sport I'm into.
But about excersise, I like to wander around in woods and walk. Its good for your body and when you just walk, you can think these spiritual truths in the same time. I told you this, because I would like to suggest it to you too. Its very nice to get away from the computer once and go to a forest where its silent and the air is fresh and you can walk and think freely without any disturbance.
Oh, I just remembered that I didn't tell you about my hobbies. I'm not into sports, but I'm more like an artistic person. I love music and it's my passion. I play piano/keyboard. People say that I play well although I have never taken any lessons. (Well, maybe one or two, but the teacher made me play some old pop songs, so I quit. And I also I realized that I didn't learn anything there too. =D)
I think that music is one of the greatest things that God has created. It's so beautifull thing. It reminds me of how great God is, even if I play my own songs, I couldn't play if God hadn't created music. I like to think God often as an Artist, because that word describes well the beuty of this creation. All can create or produce something, but this world, it's indeed ART.

Hi Nicky,
Well you do have one friend that will listen to you. It is hard to keep it to yourself, my daughter will listen to me, and she agrees too. But she is not seeking and not having have eyes open, so our talks are very limited. She is the only one I even try to talk to, because as Jesus said to His disciples before they were converted.
Joh 16:12 "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now."
It is good you realize you need to reread the articles on BT. I seems that as I started reading the articles, I didn't have the knowledge to understand what I was reading in the beginning, to understand it. So when I did reread it, I had the understanding from having read through it all ready and got much more out of it the second time. But even now I find things I didn't see, no matter how many times I have read it.
I look at having been giving the understanding of this truth as a great blessing, that not many people receive. So instead of seeking people that will receive this truth, I trust God will send them to me to ask. I don't keep what I believe a secret, but I don't like dealing with the hostility of those that do not understand.
You are doing so well, you seem to have a good understanding and keeping things in your life in a good perspective. I'm impressed with your maturity level.
mercy, peace, and love
Kat

Hi Nicky,
I guess I better clarify myself, ...you would get along well here at the BT forum live fellowships since you speak English so well.
Hopefully the Lord will send you the fellowship with like minded believers soon. (I had to read all of the BT info BEFORE I found others that I was able to be in full unity with; which was this forum.; praise GOd.) I had partial unity with those whom are trying to come out of Babylon, but, it is not the depth that is needed for spiritual edification.
My husband was the drummer for the last congregation that we were in, but hasn't done it since. God gives muscial abilities to many, I am not one of them ;)...as I say... I am musically challenged ;). My little one has a propensity for piano, but, time will tell if he developes it fully or notave a, he is 8 yo.....
Keep up the good work little brother, I am sure that God has an intereting future for you :D
