Hi all,
I'm John. I'm originally from the states. I've been a Christian since 2000, though I've had a lot of Christian influence since I was a kid.

I like discussions about the teachings of Jesus and prophecy. I look forward to interesting discussions. If you want to know more just ask. :)
 
It's a pleasure to welcome you here brother in Jesus' name. Jump right into the discussions or start your own, and I hope you are blessed in your time with us.
:wave2
 
Thanks ya'll. And yeah, Reba, I just made some rather long posts there. Even if they are too long for people to be inspired to read, I still had fun collecting my thoughts on the issues. ^.^

Good morning John Darling, I feel a bit funny typing that, hope my wife and daughter don't see it. LOL! I'm Bill Taylor, before I was strapped into my bed most of the time I taught the Grumpy Old Menś Class and I love discussing the scriptures with those seeking to know God closer.

In any case, welcome to the forum and I pray that I and the others here will bring more value to your life. Oh! all of the nuts, including this old, old one are now your brothers and sisters and we love ya' bro.
 
Wow thanks Bill. It's nice to be so warmly welcomed. About the darling thing, it's not a real name but I figure it could help to give me an advantage when debating. It's harder for people to be upset with me when they subconsciously think of me as a darling.

Did they strap you to your bed because of the grumpy old men's class? You must have been one heck of a charismatic teacher. :p

LOL, Nah, my honey told the doctor to slow me down.

The truth I should tell, so, I am one of those crazy Vietnam Vets and when one of the results of Operation Ranch Hand, finally, became more than I could cover up, I fell from the door of my mixer and i had gotten so weak that I could no longer throw 200 pounds onto my shoulder and ld not let me TXI would not let me drive any more.


They put me off as disabled, told the government, the government examined me, agreed and put me on SSD. And the less i did, the faster the right side Atrophy digressed until I can no longer care for myself without help.

Oh, the wound! Multiple Sclerosis in Vietnam Veterans is so common, according to the scientists, because of the Defoliant spraying and i volunteered for three tours in 'Nam. Most people today call it Agent Orange Poisoning but the truth is we were routinely sprayed with Agents range, White and Blue if we were in the field or, as I was, in Close Combat Support. Add that to the nightmares and I'm tough to be married to, but I have an awesome wife, she ain't no sissy.
 
You make it sound like swinging 200 pounds onto your shoulder is a bare minimum requirement! Anyway, sorry to hear about those troubles. It does indeed sound like you've got a seriously wonderful blessing in your wife and I'm happy you've still found a way to share your faith here.

That agent rainbow stuff sounds pretty nasty. You watch the movies but it just can't compare to the real life stuff, I guess. I've never been in the military or even wanted to. My grandfather wanted it for me but I just couldn't become interested. I suppose I consider myself a pacifist, though I'm not against all violence absolutely. I guess so much depends on the context and what I feel God is telling me.

Welp, off to bed. See ya Bill. Thanks for chatting with me. :)
 
We are a pretty good bunch around here... Like any family we have spats... but we all love the Lord ... "Darling " it really wont help... :biggrin
