Hello everyone my name is Brandon Haines. I'm 26 yrs old. I'm an auto glass tech. I first started discovering the things of God about three and a half years ago. I got heavily involved with the church and was even a worship leader for a bible study at one point (been playing guitar, bass, singing for about ten yrs). A little over a year ago I fell upon Ray's website. It felt like I had finally awakened from the darkness and confusion which was caused by babylon. I was an aspiring "pastor" at the time, and knew there wasn't something right about the church, but couldn't pinpoint it. I saw a lot of interesting things, but what I realized the most is the spirit of self-exaltation (that included myself). I've been in contact with all types of christians with all types of beliefs, but I know without a doubt God made me stumble upon this website because it is the truth. If you could have seen my face when I first started reading his installments. It blew my mind. But most importantly, God confirmed it in my spirit the more and more I read. He put the desire in me yrs ago to pray for the truth and it is being answered. I aspire to be a chosen son of God. I have a lovely wife of 2 yrs. I tell her about what I learn, but she's having a hard time. The church yrs have been rough on us, and she's caught in limbo about what she believes. She agrees with alot of it, but she always asks "what if we're wrong? How do you know its the truth?" I know its in God's timing to reveal it to her whole heartedly. Well, that's it for now. I look forward to fellowship with you. Thanx to all or any who respond. let us grow in the true love of Christ.

God Bless

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

It is good to have you here with us  :)
That is interesting that you were aspiring to be a pastor at the very time that you were brought to the truth.  It is so easy to look back and now see what we could not see before.  I often see things as I am reading that are so obvious to me now, that it's hard to think how I didn't see that before.  Well we know that we are blinded until we are given eyes to see. 
We are so blessed to have this place to fellowship and I hope you will join in the discussions. 

mercy, peace and love
Kat

It's a humbling thing to have been in that kind of situation and now being able to see it for what it really was. Its something that will be with me forever. Thanx for responding

Hi Brandon,

Welcome to the forum!  I know you will really feel that need for fellowship met here!  I have a 24 year old daughter who feels led to get into worship ministry.  I've only happened upon these truths from  BT about 4-6 weeks ago but I've always been kind of quirky anyway :)  but I haven't talked with my daughter about it.  I just know that this time is for me right now.  To really absorb as much as I can, so that when I do approach her, I'll be able to convey it correctly.  It is very tough because she's "in the church" but I just need to trust God with her future as I do with mine.  So I understand your wife's concerns.  :)   

I also have a 29 year old son (named Brandon  ;D), and he's a bit more like me, not really in the church, but he's also very pig-headed on some doctrines (Assembly of God).  I remember when I first talked to him about Election and he didn't respond too favorable   ;D    I think his exact words were "I couldn't love a God like that!"  But that was a couple years ago and I think he's starting to give it more thought.  So at least your wife is somewhat open and that's a good thing.

I know you will get all sorts of wise counsel from these wonderful people.  Again, welcome, welcome, welcome!!

Dawn

Hello and I'm happy to welcome you Brandon...

I'm still fairly new, from just two months ago but pretty solid in all the truths.  I am very comforted by this forum, that I have real e-friends here   :) ... what has been most important for me (next to independently verifying all of Ray's scriptural insights) is now knowing there are OTHERS out there (here) very similar to me!

I count it all joy!  :P
