As of March 30, 125 people have registered for our Nashville Conference, which is the maximum the hall will accommodate. Some have volunteered to stand, however, the law restricts the number of persons allowed. If there are any cancellations we will contact some of those who were denied confirmation to attend this meeting. I apologize to all those who cannot join us due to our seating restrictions. After the Conference an audio of the meeting in its entirety will be posted on our Forum for all to hear.

What an amazing teaching that is being prepared! What a Menu of revelation!
To me it seems like God's judgments are coming to the earth showing God for who He is and revealing His Righteousness.

As a scientist and believer I am really looking forward to it! I never could buy into the usual interpretations of Genesis.

Wow and double Wow!!
That date may just work for me!!

I am putting in a request off from work and I am also taking two vacations days off in addition to the weekend.
Even though I live in the area I plan to stay at the hotel so I can spend more time with people in the evenings. I look forward meeting lots of people.

Great Beloved!!
You know last year I only took the Friday off which meant leaving Sunday at noon. That was hard when a bunch were going to lunch w/ Ray.
So for anyone else thinking about it: Friday nite fellowship-don't miss: Sunday lunch w/ Ray-don't wanna miss- so take 2 days off. Of course, Sat./Sun. teachings are the MAIN thing if you can't take 2 off.
Nashville has some fun things to do if you wanna just make it your vacation time.

I almost feel guilty! This is a whopping 15 minutes from my home!
I'll be there!

Ouch Bobby! :D 8) I am an Atlantic Ocean away :(
Acts 17 : 25 He Himself Who gives life and breath and all things to all people. 26. And He ....fixed boundaries of their habitation 27 So that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after Him and find Him, althought He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we live and move and have out being..... :)
It is all in the Plan of God! 8) :)
Peace to you brother

Gonna be so awesome!
"FATHER: May I go please?" That is my prayer for this instant.
-
Yes, if at all possible plan on an extra day or two, it is well worth it!
Last year my wife and I flew into Nashville early Friday morning so we could get acclimated to the area, for lunch we found an outstanding Mexican restaurant and then drove around Nashville enjoying the scenery. We got our room about 3 PM, took a short nap and then went down to the lobby around 5:30 to begin interacting with those who were either staying at the hotel or just came by to visit with Ray and other members as well as those who don't (at least yet) belong to the Forum but are studious readers of the articles on Bible Truths (you might be surprised at the number).
Of course the presentation by Ray was extremely interesting and enlightening, although some say his sarcasm is cutting at times when in person it is obvious that he delivers these remarks not to be hurtful but to get one's attention. Ray comes off as a very good natured, humorous and compassionate person, he takes plenty of time answering question after question from the attendees both during the meeting times and during fellowship/meals.
After we broke up Sunday afternoon many of us went to lunch together, most were either heading to the airport or to their cars for the journey home, my wife and I had planned to stay in Nashville until Tuesday morning.
We enjoyed a river dinner cruise later that day that took us right through downtown Nashville where an outdoor concert was taking place, the weather was perfect and the people were very friendly.
On Monday we went to the the world famous Opryland Hotel to check out the atrium and also the mall which is adjacent to it, the atrium is so huge and is such a natural setting that you tend to forget you are indoors. There is actually a little river inside the hotel and a boat ride that takes you on a great tour of the premises. The Grand Ole Opry is also on the grounds and is open for touring.
We had a blast as well as a blessing! It was my first time in Nashville (other than the airport), I was very pleasantly surprised at what an interesting and enjoyable place it is.
Here is a link to some of the things to do and see in Nashville;

I want to go I am not that far away (Indianapolis) but for those who don't someone should videotape it and stick it on youtube
-
Sigh! Nashville seem so far away, and I can't even picture it in my head. Places like that I only see in movies. Greenland is just across from us here and we're not too far from the north pole and we haven't seen the sun since november, on top of that, we've been having a blizzard for 4 days now and the prediction is 2 more days. I just hope our water doesn't run out. Anyhoo, enjoy it y'all. Sounds like great topics. Kat, i hope you are going, your transcribing will be heaven sent up this way. I'll keep praying for you all everytime i think of it. God bless.

Hi Jerry,
It sound rough up there in the north, no sun and a blizzard too. I can't imagine what it would be like to have months with no sun, I wouldn't like that either.
Down here on the Gulf Coast it's been pretty cold for us the last few days, it got down on the 20's. They got snow a little north of here, we always hope we will get a little snow flurry, but it's not likely.
I don't think I'll be able to make it to the conference in Sept., that when my daughter is getting married. But I'll have the audio and I certainly plan to transcript it.
Take care Jerry, I hope the blizzard lets up soon. (http://bestsmileys.com/cold/9.gif)
mercy, peace and love

Sounds like an interesting conference. But what do you mean by 'Ray's return email will then be your official registration'?
We have to print out the email? What if somebody doesn't have a printer?
Just some thoughts I have,
Sorin
-
No worries Sorin, 8)
No one will be working door security to check for registrations (Craig probably can't make this one). :D
Ray has a habit of reading off the names of everyone who registers right at the start of his presentation just to see the accuracy of pre registration and also to greet each and every attendee. It is a very relaxed atmosphere and a real blessing to experience.
His Peace to you Brother,
Joe

Ah ok, that makes sense. Plus, it also said that Ray will keep a list of all who have registered via email, so that's pretty much your proof, if you will. I thought about that after I posted. Doh!
Take care,
Sorin

But I will have DNA scanners, retina scanners and full body XRAY at the door. ;)
Anyone found not registered will be required to dress as a cowboy and sing My Darling Clementine at the Opry to gain admittance. ;D

I'll be glad to work security. I heard Ray Unconfort and Kirk the Cameraman are going to infiltrate the meetings and ask who has ever stolen anything or had lust. I will tell them, :-X few may enter these gates and ye aint of the few. Then I'll point to the part where Christ tells a potential disciple to give away all of his riches. I'll say well Kirk, looks like you got some "Growing Pains" of your own coming (that show was painful to watch). Then I'll say Ray, your "Confort" is at TBN.
-
In spite of all the heightened security ;) ... I'm going to take a risk and show up. See what happens. :P
And Musicman, you're a funny guy. :)

;D ;D ;D ;D
Hilarious!
Joyce I remember telling you what to do about it last year. I'm telling you honey, it works. :D

:D Gena-- you bad girl! ahahah!
btw...are you going to go?

well I missed the November meeting I sure hope I can go to this one. peggy

Hey Everyone,
I'd really like to attend the conference, won't go without my wife, have to make part of the trip a vacation experience for her, besides the spiritual food. She enjoyed Rays' article about being Unequally Yoked, but she has her beliefs, as she states and is entitled to them. Maybe I'll be able to figure something out, if its' Gods' Will. Randy and I were talking about it on the phone last night and he would like to go also. Your Brother in Christ, Samson.
-
Yall crack me up!!! I am praying Gods' will on this one too. I would absolutely love to come with my little 9 yr old and let him hear Ray speak on Dino's and creation and FOR HIM to meet 'L. RAY SMITH' as he calls him. I would like to meet him too. I'm praying for all of us and y'all pray for us as well....
I really thought (last year) that you would like Nashville Joe.
Bobby, enjoy that beauty up there! Like I said before, I was stationed in the Army up there at Fort Campbell, Ky and yet lived on the Tennessee side in Clarksville...I would love to take a tour of the place with my dh and our little guy and reminisce.... ::) ;D
-
Dennis,
I'm confused, I thought the Nashville conference would be in May as it was in 2007.
I'm not disappointed that it is in September, just wondering.

Sorry Bob, September 20-21, 2008.

Uh oh it looks like I spoke too soon, it appears the Deputy has gone hi tech and now is even more scrutinizing than ever!

Hi Susan,
You were right on the money, my wife and I really enjoyed our time there, great place for a Conference and a vacation!
Peace,
Joe
-
I agree Joe, my dh and I enjoyed that place for about 5 yrs while I was in the Military up there....Lots to do and see and so much natural beauty (as I always say :D)! Lets' see what the Lord has in mind this Sept!
blessings,
Susan

I'm going to have to wait for the audios to be posted after the conference, and I'm particularly looking forward to this one. I have always had a problem with the 6 24 hour day creation theory put forward by mainstream Christianity. It looks a wonderful setting, I pray you will all have a wonderful time both learning and in fellowship.
-
Hey guys, It's been a while since I've been on here. I'll be there at the conference, wouldn't miss it. Unless....I would miss it; so I'll say, "God willing, I'll be there." Hopefully we'll be able to bring our daughter, which should be born in the middle of May.

Hi Beau,
Good to see you here--it's been a while! Hope you and Nola and little soon to be here Harley Ariana (unless you've decided on another name?) are doing well! Look forward to seeing the whole family in September!
Vangie
-
Cool.
Yes, LORD willing, we will go!!

We went with another middle name. It's going to be "Harley Quinn".
We've got the room reserved and I talked to Ray, so I guess we WILL be there, ha ha.
-
Today is April 22nd and I am writing this request for Randy, His computer has crashed.
He is going to the conference in September and already has his room reservation, If any of you "guys" (that have already signed up with Ray for the conference) find yourself finacially strapped and need a place to sleep, Randy would be willing to share his room with you. He has a room with two beds.
Right now if any of you are interested you will have to PM me and I will pass on the information to him.

Hi everyone,
If anyone has a last minute cancellation for the conference, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. I'm going to block out my schedule just in case this happens, and then drive there.
I guess I didn't realize that there would be such a demand this year! Either way we'll all be able to listen!
In Christ

-
Same here!!!!
-
A month or two before the conference someone will call everyone who signed up and confirm they are coming.
Anyone who says they will try to come will be crossed off the list. If they have not reserved a hotel room (have someplace to stay) they will be crossed off the list.
Then there will be some new openings. But you'll need to let Ray know so he can at least put you on the waiting list.
Dennis
-
Thanks for the update, Dennis.
-
Hi, i belive i still have 3 seats reserved, but 2 of the ones who were coming with me dont look like they will be able to make it, or not sure, therefore would like to know if someone would like to to take their places, i still would like to go, I will be driving so,if anybody would like to ride up there with me, i am leaving from Sarasota Florida, i could pick them up along the way.
thanks
-
Please let Ray know ASAP. He is the one who decides. There is allready a waiting list.
Thanks,
Dennis
-
Hello Dennis,
When is the final date for confirmation from members that have already registered? How much time will those on the waiting list be given in regards to securing a hotel room and other accomodations? I emailed Ray recently regarding where I was on the waiting list; an earlier email from him stated that I was 6 or 7 and that was a month or two ago. Thanks
Marques

Please email Ray again. He's taking care of everything.
Thanks,
Dennis

I am looking forward to this conference!
My wife and I are driving all the way from South Florida and I believe it'll be worth every gallon!! ;D
God bless ya'll and see you next week!!!
-
Hi everyone!
I just got word last week that a spot had opened up at the conference and I was able to sign up. My wife and I were originally hoping to make the trip together, but the way its worked out we couldnt find childcare with such short notice. So I'll be taking good notes for her. ;D
I live in central Maryland and will be driving down I-81 to get there. If anyone nearby is attending and would have an interest in carpooling please contact me and we will see if things work out. My email is m_canary@yahoo.com.
Look forward to seeing many of you in Nashville. Safe travels.
Mike
