Not too much activity here for a while, just wanted to say Hi. The next high watch day that I'm familiar with is Nov 21st. A valid argument for this day had been made and it seemed plausible to me. Like so many others, I am extremely hopeful for a 2019 departure. And hopefully by next Spring at the latest! God is faithful! Surely He will come to receive us unto Himself. Let us continue to hold on until the very end! Love & blessings....TR I posted today, but my post is awaiting moderation... first time that has happened - not sure why. It has been a quiet few days. TR - I visited last night and noticed no new postings, wondered if my connection was bad :mail: It’s heating up even more than usual between Israel and Gaza, Israel threatens to annihilate their head housed in Damascus— sounds interesting to say the least. :popcorn :popcorn Weather is wacka-doodle, I had snow flurries in southern VA yesterday! Tornados, earthquakes, and fires abound! Oh my! So, although it feels like the quiet before the storm, the underlying current is still pretty much moving forward at Gods speed! I have been under the weather this whole week, thanks the sweet lady sitting next to me on the plane who decided to share her lovely germs, but it has really felt like a real calm, once again my spirit keep seems to be intently listening, looking up, thinking now would work :flyup: :prayer-hands: soon! :yahoo: Maybe you should send a note to see if it got stuck in cyberspace :mail: :unsure: Indeed things still going on behind the scenes and time still marches forward. Public hearings for the impeachment of our President just aired a little while ago. We are truly a house divided politically and spiritually! And evil and wickedness seems to continue unabated. Hope you are feeling better Sis! There seems to be little more to say about the Rapture that hasn't already been shared. The Lord shares our longing and time is truly on our side. That being said, I pray that He indeed come quickly, and that we all continue to abide all but for the Hope within us! Oh, that we could indeed emulate the great cloud of witnesses that have gone on before us. That He would find our lives just as honor filled as theirs! TR Hi TR. Not quite sure how to respond to your post, but I did not want to just ignore it. I, too am aware of the lack of activity on this site. To be candid, it makes me very sad. When I have posted recently, the feedback and interaction is extremely limited, which tends to be discouraging to me. Not trying to be critical, but just honest. I know there is much more activity on the Facebook site, a site that I appreciate very much and the content of which I typically find very edifying, but the quality of interaction/fellowship there is different than what I recall it being on this site when I first started participating back in the 2015-2016 window. Maybe it is just me wearing rose-colored glasses as I look in the rear view mirror, but there just does not seem to be the appetite or desire for that type of fellowship right now. It is what it is. I would be interested to hear why 11/21 is being viewed as high watch. I do not recall hearing or seeing anything about that, but would like to hear your thoughts. Grace and peace brother. Maranatha!!! TR - thank you for your prayer, truth be known, I don’t get sick often (last time was about 4 yrs ago-thankful for that), but this one is kicking me to the curb. I have confined myself to my bedroom with the diffuser going, bout to go stir crazy on day 5 and no end in sight. I did look out my window this evening and saw the most magnificent sky, I had to stop & tell the Father how beautiful it was and how thankful I was for Him sharing it, even with these veiled eyes His glory is amazing. I truly can’t wait to see Jesus, in my minds eye, I see a glorious brightness, like nothing we have ever seen, in the middle is a huge bright throne with a rainbow of emerald over it, like Revelation describes and I see the Father with the Son extending His hand and saying come my child.. it always brings tears to my eyes when I think of this and such longing for the peace that surrounds this perfect everlasting love. Yes sir, brother TR, I am quite ready to leave this wicked world and be with the one who gave himself for a sinner such as myself. Ready to fly when the trumpet sounds. :flyup: :prayer-hands: Let it be today Father! Having heard so many arguments for and against various dates I can't exactly remember the rationale offered for 11/21. But I'm sure it could be found. Indeed brother this site has become the "stepchild" site of RITAN. As it does not always offer the latest and greatest of proposals or an overwhelming abundance of articles for the Rapture. Going to Facebook knowingly would and has deflected attention elsewhere. Sadly the original site was known by it's fun and family atmosphere, friendliness, personal and even by some to be a church home website. Where the fellowship and prayer was cherished as much as the theories proposed. The exposure and accessibility Facebook offers cannot be matched but it can neither insure that only true believers are involved. But I maintain that bigger isn't necessarily better. Ritan has always been well guarded by the Mods, thankfully so. There will always be personal agenda's and deceptive spirits that abound. Many come in their own name are readily received as prophets and apostles. Seemingly the more outlandish the claims the more that personal stature grows. We have always kept in touch with other sites and gleaned interesting articles that were readily shared here. Many felt this site was truly annointed of God! Truly this site will never be what it used to be nor garner the attention it once had. We had a growing and active international membership. Though some were driven away by what was perceived by them as a heavy handed or legalistic approach with some of our more colorful members. It is what it is! I am grateful for those that do keep a regard for this original site. I do long for His appearing and love to keep connected by what the Spirit speaks to the Church. And I greatly relish the nearness of His return. But until then, I also enjoy personal growth and fellowship that this site has long offered. Bless your heart Sis! Praying that it will always be well with your soul! TR Watchman I would agree with your honest opinion of this site, but for those of us who do not venture into the FB world this site is greatly appreciated. Not sure... my post is still awaiting moderation. I am wondering if folks aren't posting cause their posts are also awaiting moderation????
FB has both pluses and negatives. It is censored by the powers that be and visited by many wolves in sheep’s clothing, not that this is all bad mind you as the leaders of the RITAN FB would most assuredly be giving out the gospel witness to those who visit the site, whether out of curiosity or devious intent, God can still use it as well.
again, I appreciate our family here, although few in number, huge in heart and we are all about the same thing Watching for His glorious appearing” :prayer-hands:
