Hello My Friends,

I'm so pleased to meet you Dennis, Kat & Gena!

Kat, thank you so much for the kind words, and I thank God for His blessing you the way He has opened the eyes of your heart. Pain and suffering comes to us all in many ways. I personally believe I have been blessed in uncountable ways since my accident. God never lies, He does work His will for the good in all thing's, I just need to be still/quiet and then be overwhelmed by His blessings-esspecially through (any) suffering. I pray God will allow me to share, feed, and meet as many 'like minded' sisters & brothers as I can. My wife (Rita) isn't into using computers, but I will try and share as much of the posts as I can. She too has read all of brother Ray's writings, and thankfully God has blessed her as well with an open heart and seeing eyes. I am so blessed,and I know I don't deserve any of them. It really blows my mind (what little of it I have ) when I do try and understand  why He has given me so much for so little I have given to Him.

Hi Kat,
Thank you as well for your kind and thoughtful words. I guess I pretty much have replied to your post along with Gena's. If you really want to know what it is like - take and make a fist with your knuckle pushed out,then push it as hard as you can against the small of your back,your hip,neck and left leg, and you will get a pretty good idea. :'(
Really though, if it wasn't for what we are all going through then we wouldn't be having this great conversation! :)

I pray His peace,mercy and protection for you all!

Hello Don

I am happy to meet you and your wife Rita and family. That is so special that you are all in unison with what has been revealed here in BT.

I can not say I have suffered anything like what you describe but for a few painful flashes with physical pain, I have been through other traumas that seem a breeze if held against the pain of physical suffering.

I live in South Africa. My husband has a deep heart knowledge of the BT and I can enjoy many discussions with him as I value his insight and understanding. We have a son soon to turn eleven though I am also in my fifties. We both experienced disastrous marriages earlier on and I was widowed at 24 years old!  I have got over it by now! ;D and have experienced equally challenging circumstances that never seem to be in hindsight but are on going! :) rather like that knuckle you mention in the nerve of the back, or joint or....etc! ;D

Welcome to the Forum!

Peace be to you

Arcturus :)

Hi Don,

Welcome!

I, and many others, can relate to crying out to God for days, weeks, even years to reveal His truth to us.  Now we know that He put that longing in our hearts, and He only can satisfy that longing, by dragging us to Him and His truth.  How wonderful that He's revealing it to you, and also your wife and children at the same time! ;D

I don't post very often, but enjoy reading the posts of our brothers and sisters as we together learn about our magnificent God.  Look forward to your posts.

Your sister in Christ,

                     Cindy  :)

Dear Arcturus & Cindy,

WoW! South Africa! Is this the home of your birth and your husband as well? I have been to some countries in Europe, and I found the world is much the same wherever one goes. Good & evil to be sure is no stranger, but the customs and lifestyles is something one must experience, not just read or watch movies, to really appreciate. Are y'all (thers a tad bit-o U.S. suthern speak  ;) ) on a mission outreach program, or just where you live? I would like to know exactly where, so I can study about the people and land.
I too lost a spouse and two children (still borns). It was very hard, and I just knew my life was over. What I didn't know at the time was, that God hadn't finished working/loving with me. I pray you don't think I am making up these hardships for pity and "see how hard I have had it" I only mention it because it's true, and I know exactly what the curse of loss and the blessing of gaining truly is as well. When I met Rita she had three children ages 14,11,6. Before having our 1st child together Rita would often have to remind me, "You just don't understand, because you don't have any children of your own!" I thought she was crazy, because I knew that when a child did right from wrong it was a simple matter of a praise or a punishment - end of debate! Well, not only did God show me what true unconditional love is, He also pointed me in Rita's direction to, 'eat crow'  ::) or more truthfully, humble myself and say, "you were right, I didn't understand."
A man's pride is nothing to play around with-so I used to think! ;D

Dear Cindy,

You are so right on the mark! I never knew rug burns could turn out to be so usefull. ;)
Thank you and Arturus for your very kind and heartfelt words. They mean so much and do make a difference in my daily walk.
I as well am not one to do much posting, but if someone takes the time to write me, then God willing, I will try and reply.

Christ's Love to All

 Hello Don

I am born and bred in Africa. Originally from Rhodesia now called Zimbabwe. I lived in Rome for three years, enjoyed a few months in Cincinnati and since then have been domiciled in South Africa.

I prefer to be identified with my beliefs rather than my carnal background. My Mother was a Catholic and my Father was Jewish converted to Catholism. Since learning the truths here in BT I have neither any inclination or desire to be associated with either Jewish or Catholic doctrines and traditions. I can now see how my Mother was deeply deceived and how this influenced me too. It was of course in the Plan of God to cause me to become involved with my studies of the Catholic doctrines and later with the doctrines of Pentecostal beliefs before delivering me out of Babylon. I pity my Mother who I loved dearly. She died not knowing the Truth and firmly bound by the terrors of her understanding. The Priest at least convinced her that she was not going to end up in Hell. After all, she had been a most devout Catholic so you know...such a place is only reserved for all who do not subscribe ;)

I do not think you are making up your story because it shines through that you are blessed with your family and Rita. I too am greatly blessed with mine both here in the Forum in like mind and with my family that God has blessed me to appreciate and love.


Peace to you

Arcturus
