Hey
I know many of overlooked what you wrote about keeping
this site going for 25 years.
Like
you state on the home page, even like-minded Christians
are not going to agree ON EVERYTHING. And heh,
true to that, there are often times I do not agree with
others here. Most I do not challenge, when some get
wooo-wooo…. Way too “far out there” for me – I just
make a mental note to not read letters from them any more.
Truth
is, there’s never enough time in the week for me to read
every single letter anyway, so I must pick &
choose. And always, always I go for dessert first –
looking for my “favorite” authors!
Funny
how many people read here! Even if they choose to
never post. Even if they don’t agree with the
overall themes. Yet they’re addicted watchers like
we are and like to read many letters and sites throughout
the week as time permits.
I’ve
been here for some 15 years, after I left Rapture
Ready. I was at RR from its inception. I was
there BEFORE it even had any
mods!!!! Loved Todd, Terry, and all the gang.
But
at least during THAT era it got way too liberal for
me. When mods were getting on my case and they were
saying that a guy who was living an actively [unrepentant]
gay lifestyle and working in a ladies’ flimsy underwear
dress shop…. Toy shop, whatever they’re called + a couple
of other carnal vices he was unrepentant of – yet when
mods were totally in my face saying that YES the guy WAS a
Christian merely b/c he “believed” in Jesus and CLAIMED to
be a Christian…….. nuh-uh!!!! [Romans 8…
to be carnally minded IS DEATH!!!]
These mods, most, were the very ones I’d “broken bread”
with IN PERSON….. having met together at a weekend
prophecy conference and even gave them tours around town.
Even
so, acquainted in person or not….. I stick with the
Bible, thank you very much! I let Todd know
what was going on at HIS board. And left……
….took
Todd another couple years before I presume he didn’t like
the direction of the board either & fired all those
mods [from what I heard & read].
I
was even “warned” by a fellow Christian to stay away from
Doves…… isn’t that a lot like telling a 3 year old child
where the cookies are kept – but not to eat any while
you’re away?? BIG SMILE!!!! This
well meaning (pastor at the time) of course
certainly meant well in warning me. But I came
here b/c even though many if not most predictions (such as
WHEN the rapture will be and WHO the antichrist will
be) are wrong….. you guys don’t bristle, of course
all predictions till now have been wrong…… even so, at
least you, Tng, allow us to investigate & talk it over
here.
My
pastor friend, though quite conservative at the time,
sadly hit a speed bump of sin himself, later totally
changing his tune about everything. So sad to see
that! I often mist up over how difficult some
people’s lives are and quite often that’s b/c we bring it
on ourselves – carried away by our OWN LUSTS (as the book
of James carefully says….)
I’m
rabbit trailing as usual. But for the most part, and
for the articles which seem to be Biblically sound, thanks
John Tng for “hanging in there”!! We should know
it’s time consuming & takes a huge commitment.
Some weekends perhaps you’d rather be out fishing or
sailing on the boat or enjoying your family.
I’ve been around long enough to have seen the site going
from 6 days a week (whew, that’d be hard!) and
leaving Sundays off – to switching it around to uploading
it ONLY on Sundays. Even so, it’s still an ongoing
commitment.
So
we thank you for giving us a public forum in which to
share as we await, look for, and long for our BLESSED
HOPE!!!!!!!!!

a.k.a. 1 Cor 10:31 at this site
“RJ’s
Here” back in the old days at RR
And
even had my own site for a short duration, it was
Blessed-Hope.com It was a mess though in that
I’m a big computer dummy & the whole thing was getting
so scrambled. Plus, I’ve changed my mind from “back
then” of who I “think” is the most likely candidate to
become the AntiChrist.
At
any rate, we DO look forward to our BLESSED HOPE &
may the Lord Jesus come for us sooner than soon!!!!
