I probably joined because I was probably feeling lonely, don't have many friends in real life and still don't.

It's good to chat to other Christians though. Especially when I am from the nation of Australia, it's not really the best country to have Christian conversation in, well not in my local area anyway, we are pretty much one of the only Christian families in this small circuit of maybe 30 houses, probably less, from what we know, who we know anyway.

A lot of not so clean language out in the world around us these days, and there are a lot of Aussies that don't even like to hear the word "Jesus" mentioned in a Christian way, a lot don't want anything to do with Jesus, a lot don't want to hear the Gospel, it's pretty sad.

So these forums are a good place to speak freely about Jesus, and have conversations in a Christian manner with other Christians.

What's also sad, you drive into the main town nearby, and New Age/witchcraft seems to be the main religion there.........

I know how hard it can be to find good fellowship in a local church. I pray that God will open a door for you to find it in your area. Meanwhile, glad you're here.

I remember Johnny. I'm sorry to hear that he had passed away...:eek::( ...
After he left PT he became a member of the Is God Imaginary forum and he was a prolific poster on that forum as well. I advised Goodsheperd of his passing when it occurred, but that was a number of years ago now. At that time she was a citizen of the cockroach state living many miles away from where I was living at that time.

I'm sure she has moved from Queensland and is somewhere in NSW but I can't verify that. I do remember Shep and her hubby being involved in a ministry that has to do with distributing food and clothing to low income families. I will try to hunt her down. :)

That ministry was in NSW, north of Newcastle, but she may have moved on since then.

Can't remember. So long ago but I do remember struggling at Worthy with the narrow mindedness and struggling at CF with the massive numbers, the format, and the ads.
Here is nice. Friendly, open, tolerant ( man, sometimes I hate that word), and such a wide range of personalities and perspectives... There's life here, it's challenging, but it's.... Alive!

I joined when Helen mentioned the forum, but I do remember her telling me I would need a thick skin !
I have been a member of many forums over the years, usually with many familiar members. So it’s always been about linking up with friends - and making new ones along the way.
I am pretty much a lone Christian at home and at work, so online connections are invaluable to me xx

@Rita Glad you persevered...

I first joined here back in 2007 under another name.
I joined because the forum I was on had problems and many members left. But I stayed on the old one...good friend there.

But I changed computers and lost my info for this site...forgot my name and also my password . So in 2011 I re registered and have been here on and off ever since.

I had joined about six forums ...( starting since 1999) ..but in time as they died out ...this one just became my main forum, the place where I found I posted most and spent my time. I have forgotten some of the names of the forums I belong to.
If I remember the name of the forum , then by then I have forgotten the name that I used or the password for the forum :D

In all I have been a part of six forums , but only two that I have stuck with, this being one of them :)
@Helen I know the feeling about computer foul ups that happen....

I was looking for fellowship with other Christians....I first found CF but they don't like talking much about spiritual things even if there is a forum for it. Hidden In Him invited me to check this one out and I have been here ever since.

I actually joined here in 2008 but after a short time I dropped away from here in favor of other forums where I had friends. Things fizzled in places and I ended up primarily with Talk Jesus, but they were very anti-Catholic and anti-JW and anti-Mormon and anti-Oneness. I had been warned not to defend any of those, Catholicism and Oneness in particular. When @Angelina reminded me of this place I jumped at the chance. I've been here foremost ever since although I retain membership in several other places.

The owner of the first and only forum I had ever joined on-line [prophecyTalk] had closed without notice which left many of it's members scrambling to find each other and also find a new Christian forum to join.

I went past this forum x2 after reading a few conversations and noting a few battles they were engaged in and decided to move on. I was use to battles but coming from a prophecy forum, it was not the type I would spend my time and energy on. I liked the owner/admin who was in his early 20s at the time and I eventually came back and decided to join out of curiosity.

It turned out to be an okay place to meet other christians and some of the long lost members of the original forum began to trickle through. Ie: @pompadour, @ScottA and a number of others....

Me To. Found many friends from PT here and decided to join.

NO! God, I'm going to miss her. She was such a sweet heart. I have been wondering why she has not posted for a long time. ( God bless you Shep....)

D-DAD I remember him well. Had many arg- debates with him. I think he has been on this forum under different names. He always Talks about the book of Danial. I asked some one that posted about the book of Danial if he was D-DAD from PT and he didn't post any more after that.
