There is a lot to read on the BT site and there is a lot more here. But do not become overcome with all there is to study, be thankful for so much material that is explaining this truth for you.

Good evening Astropho and welcome to the rest of your life.
Please do not be concerned about the stress of NEW knowledge, it is very normal and will go away in a few years. (smile)
I have been studying since 1969 and have gone through at least three transitions of understanding. So here I am at age 74 and I sometimes feel that I am still in second grade. Not to worry, it is perfectly normal because God treats each one of us as unique individuals and works with us according to His will and knowledge. Try to let yourself go and trust God to work with you at a pace that you can handle. God knows what is best for each person.
Love to hear from you anytime and please take advantage of each opportunity to exercise your spiritual muscles, your heart and mind.
Regards, Ole Indiana Bob

Welcome Astrapho! Your story is interesting. Its cool to see the many ways God uses to drag each of us here. Some are similar and some are different. I had fallen into a sin and felt like a total failure. I had been searching through different believes that just let me all the more confused. I was in a Hell of my own mind. When, God led me to Ray's website I found out I had more to repent of then the sin God delivered me out of. This was the start of the right path for me. Just, keep studying Ray's articles. The forum members here really care for each other. It is real in here. Glad to have you to fellowship with.
In His Love,
Marlene

hi astropho,
welcome home 8). i absodoodlelutely could identify with your statement above. actually, that is pretty spot on where i was at when i first started reading ray's essays. and now some 3 yrs later i still sit in amazement at the utter, well, nonsense that is put out there as truth. i too remember thinking that what ray was expounding on had to have a hitch in it somewhere, BUT, WRONG PALEFACE!! i have spent many nights and days and days and nights just thanking our Father for the Love that He is and the Love that He has, and the Love that He sent to us named Jesus Christ. and i let Him know that i know that i am just a measly little bitty worm with a very LARGE beast in me, BUT, He STILL loves me. now that is almost too awesome to believe, BUT, i do believe it because, well, because the Spirit of Jesus Christ confirms it to me time and time again. okay, i better close this or else i will go on and on. anyway, welcome to your new home and enjoy your time in the forum Living Room.
cheers,
claudia

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! :D It definitely makes me feel better to know that I'm not alone in this whole Truth thing. :D I was kinda afraid I'd come out looking like a whacko, posting my story up there right in my very first post, but I'm glad that my fears were unfounded, :) Looking forward to the next few months/years here in this awesome, God filled place! ;D (Sorry for smiley overload, lol!)
Anyway, I must hasten to tell you what happened this morning. I think God is spinning the potter's wheel waay too fast! D:
Today's Good Friday, right? Yeah so this morning, my Dad (I'm 15, and I feel so young here!) wanted to drag me off for the Good Friday mass at the Catholic church (Nope, I'm not physically out of it yet). And I really didn't want to go because of the whole pointlessness of it.
Guess what? Okay, my Dad knows that I've been getting myself neck deep into the Pentecostal stuff, and it turned into a confrontation!! It somehow boiled down to me, finally saying that, "I don't wanna go to church; not the Catholics', not the Christians', I don't want to go to church!"
Silence.
And he was like, "A month ago I thought I was the one who needed prayer, but now I know it's you! Look at how confused and brainwashed you are!"
Minor background info: After I got into the Pentecostal thing I tried "spreading the truth" to him. Looks like it's come to kick me in the behind... :'(
Ahhh!! What should I do? I think I'm screwing everything up!!
(Sorry for ending the post on such a flustered note, but now I feel like an ant on hot platter x_x )
