Title: like-minded believers?
Post by: lostANDfound on September 28, 2010, 01:03:39 AM
hi, this is my first post although i've been reading for years now.  just wondering if there are any like minded believers around calgary alberta (canada).  and thank-you to everyone for your thoughtful study of the bible.  the pearls of truth that are uncovered here and on the LOF website are truly treasures.

WELCOME!

The forum is like minded believers.  I hope you find people in your neck of the woods, but I suspect that would be pretty rare. It would be cool tho!!

Hello Lost & found, welcome aboard. I am 3 hours north of you and have been here for 3 years. Trust me on this, no one will ever believe you. I have not found 1 person anywhere that is interested in hearing the truth. :( I have given up on wasting time on people that God has NOT given the power to believe the truth. So all I can do for them now is show them where the truth is and say good luck. :)

Hi lostANDfound,

I'm glad you have joined us  :)
I see someone has already turned up not too far from you, that is great. I hope that since you have broken the ice with the introduction you will decide to join in some of the discussions.

This internet forum sure is convenient for fellowship with like minded people from all across the world. It would be nice to have local believers, where we could jump in the car and run down the road and visit with. But actually I think if I had a choice I would rather have the internet, so many more people to discuss things with. Besides you don't have to even leave your house. But if you see a discussion that you think you could make a point or comment on, do jump in.

Since you've been coming here for awhile now you probably know your way around, but here are links to stuff just in case.

Welcome, lostANDfound :)

I completely understand your situation. I feel lonely in my country (Poland). I don't believe I will ever find somebody with the same beliefs as mine, beliefs spread precisely by Mr. Smith's teachings. If somebody is a believer, he is probably a catholic, who goes to church on sunday and who probably has never read the Bible, regardless its translation. On the other side, you will find atheists or people who don't think about God and religon at all. Maybe there are some christian universalists, but I've never seen any polish website with those kind of teachings. Finding somebody who has read BT.com (and it is in english language) is rather impossible in my life :D :D Of course I could tell somebody about BT.com, but I doubt somebody will read it for many reasons (foreign language, lack of time, laziness, no interest in religion, attention focused on family or economical problems). It is really a miracle I'm here, among this amazing fellowship

So don't worry, brother.

Best wishes

Welcome Lost and found,

I'm a little South and a long way East of you in Indiana.
We don't have many in the area either.
It's is almost as if we were receiving private tutoring from our Lord
and even better we receive our training right in our own homes.
That's what is so great and so marvelous about our situation.
God has sent His son in the form of other believers who truly understand
what we are dealing with day by day.

I also appreciate that we have the same language. Think how much more
challenging it would be if our native language was Polish or French etc.

We anticipate hearing from you as often as you are able and as much as
you care to share about yourself or your experiences.
What is it like for a young person such as you living in Calgary?

Hi
I consider myself very fortune having met up with a few forum members here in the Uk. We have met up three times over the past two years. It takes a fair amount of travel and effort in order to meet but it's always worth it.However this would never have happened if it wasn't for the existence of this forum .

Hi.

By the way, it took me a while to start posting for me too, a couple years ago. My native lenguage is spanish, Spanish is a big leanguage, hopefully one day more spanish people will see these material as well.
Also hopefully you can find somebody like minded like you with whom you can share on a face to face interaction.
