Greetings: Watchman35 here, a RITAN refugee. Actually started posting with a Facebook account on the new RITAN site for a few days, but the Facebook folks kept pushing back on me and I am thinking I am done there. First they locked me out for "suspicious activity" and required me to give them a phone number, which I did reluctantly. Then family member names, like my brother, started showing up as suggested friends. How they connected me based on predominantly fictitious account info is unclear to me, although I'm sure they have ways of cross-referencing IP addresses and phone numbers and such. That one creeped me out a bit...very Orwellian. Then they locked me out a second time, again on charges of "suspicious account activity", and now they are requiring me to upload a photo to reactivate my account. That is probably the last straw for me. So, if you have not exceeded your refugee quoted for the month, I am seeking a new home. I promise to do my best to keep the suspicious activity down to a minimum. LOL. (and there are even emoticons...bonus)

Welcome Watchman35, nice to have you on board. That's very creepy that you couldn't that you couldn't set up a facebook account without giving them your life story. Here, on Rapture Forum, we only need a DNA sample. (Sorry, I shouldn't even joke about things like that).
Anyway, I'm looking forward to your posts, and the message feature of this board is great. We sometimes have great conversations going on there too.

Soonandverysoon, love those lyrics, exciting isn't it?!!!
Watchman, welcome to the board! That sounds way too creepy with fb. I can see why you are leery of doing it!! We have room room for any and all who need a place to be a part of. So glad to have you!!

I don't know, Watchman35. We have to be careful here about Christian subversives. (Those guys are always using the "J" word -- (Shhhhh!).) Even MorningStar here discovered and posted proof recently for the members that although I might actually be a sheep, I was caught wearing wolf's clothing. She appropriately signaled the group. I think I'm now in some database. We just cannot be too careful about Spiritual online associations and supposed anti-establishment rhetoric. I did by the way send a royal blue sweater made from my wool to Elizabeth as the DNA sample she mentioned. I became suspicious though because it's promised in the Scriptures that we'll never dye. It may have been before your time, Watchman35, but at times like this I think of Arte Johnson, playing the German spy on Laugh-In: "Velly intellestingk!" Thank God we can laugh at this pathetically controlling evil world as we zoom away very soon.

Watchman35, that would totally creep me out, as it is big brother has too much info on us already, that's one of the reasons I don't do facebook, heard too many stories from different people. I don't know if any of you have read that article about Zuckerberg joining the Globalist elite for a New World Order, stands to reason I guess. Welcome again, glad you decided to join us.

Hello! My name is Tim.

Tim! Hello. Welcome to some of the best watchers in Christendom! (Not necessarily biased here, just experienced with these lovers of our Savior!) Ideally you will be able to discover it yourself during your sojourn with us. I presume you have a good singing voice. The good news is that if you know Jesus as Lord, we'll have an opportunity to jam in praise up there soon. Tell us about yourself if you'd be okay with that. We would like to know you. Sincerely! Don't be "Tim"id. (Sorry, Tim. I beg you for that forgiveness [70x7] Jesus told Peter about. )

Yes Welcome SpreadingSalt, good name! BTW, did you draw/paint that picture? So glad you joined us; looking forward to your posts. And Tim, good for you for learning guitar! I know what you mean re: singing, I sing to the Lord when I'm by myself and just keep in mind, He hears my heart singing, not so much my voice, so He hears the love and not the off key noises I make! You and Chrissy seem like a great couple and we are blessed to have you both here.

Thank you all for the welcome. Gr8tful, the picture is my creation made with a combo of paper/paint. A paper mosaic. Inner face is the birth of Christ. Outer face is the crucifixion. It's called 'The Gift' He is indeed our Gift.

Hi, I'm kippy. Nice to meet all of you. Lurked at RITAN for years. Since RITAN's closure is imminent (love that word!), bravery got the best of me to join here where I've been lurking and reading multiple times each day, also for years. Should have called myself Lurking for our Blessed Hope; but kippy, a family nickname, it is.
Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hi and welcome Kippy! So glad you took 'the plunge' and joined us!! That is such a cute nickname! I look forward to your input and thoughts. Oh and yes that word imminent is an awesome word! Can't help but put a smile on your face when you hear it or say it. Again glad you decided to come forward and be a part of us!

Kippy! Welcome! That one sentence you wrote was great: you LOVE the word imminent, and bravery got the best of you. Very cute! I laughed.
I could not help subliminal drooling thoughts of what to me is a food group. CHUNKY PEANUT BUTTER! I thought "Skippy!"
I don't think sheep like peanut butter. Goats might. But I'll confess I'm not really a sheep.
Forgive me dear for a lack of gentility. In any case, WELCOME!

I knew Dan would get excited w/that word 'imminent'. And that's funny, I thought of 'Skippy' also. I imagine you have heard that 'skippy' pnut butter comment a few times! Me personally, being a 'choosey' mom, I choose ***. (In case there's trademark issues just mentioning it.) Got a few things I have to do, so I'll be back in a jif! Hoping not to get in a traffic 'jam' and end up 'sandwiched' in between vehicles in bumper to bumper traffic.
