Hi everybody,
I used to be on the Forum as Java Joe, now I'm Little Joe - my nickname back from my college days. I'm really sorry I left the forum in the first place. Even though I left, I was still drawn back to Ray's teachings and the forum - so I was spying on y'all!
I am in the process of leaving Babylon, but it is painful. My church is starting to use prosperity cult tactics to draw in money, so it seems to be one guilt trip after another. I tell ya, churchian Christianity is messed up. Someone recently posted a reference to a Bill Wiese who claimed he saw hell, the website gave an absolute horrendous story. I was appalled that no one in Christendom refuted his claims, only this forum and nonbelievers. That really spoke volumes to me, and helped me make the decision to leave Babylon - so thanks to whoever posted that. Also Ray's January Bible study helped me out, too.
I could go on and on, but I need to not look back, not judge, not be bitter. I still have problems, so pray for me. But I know I'll get encouraged here.
ciao, and God Bless everyone!
