Many of us oldies around here held "dual citizenship" between this site and Rapture in the Air Now (RITA Now). In fact I believe Benjamin and Shiloh broke off from there to start this site, along with the blessed complicity of other oldies around here. Well, in May 2017 RITA Now had to morph onto FaceBook, much to the sad chagrin of most all the members. RITA Now FB has something like 5,000 in the group. The nostalgia, however, has never died. And starting today, RITA Now is again a functioning website with almost exactly our same old look and feel. Ideallly most of the wanderers-off will regather there and pick up again what was a satisfying fellowship of watchers who love Jesus.
So, go to raptureintheairnow.com and register. You'll not regret it.

So that we're all on the same page here - the post above was made with my blessing - and was indeed going to be written by me, save that I've been unwell and not online for a couple of days... so Dan stepped in to let you all know.
You are of course more than welcome to sign up at RITAN, or remain here, or both! This site isn't going anywhere, and although I'm not here as much as I'd like myself these days, I am nonetheless still so very grateful for each and every one of you and the encouragement that you've been to me, and to one another, over these years.
Until He comes!

Thanks for the update Dan, I'll check it out. I've been here ever since Benjamin started the forum, so I'm not going anywhere, but it's nice to know that RITAN is back up again.
Benjamin, I hope your feeling better and God bless you dear for keeping this forum up and running we all really do appreciate it.
Take care and God bless.

Thank you.
It's been such a busy start to the year in so many respects - I think I'm just a bit run down. I just got over being sick and now I'm sick again!
this is what you get for working with children...

I think it is great that RITAN is back up and running. I think people will be more willing to post when they know there post is not going on their walls, if I understand Facebook correctly, as I have never joined Facebook.
My heart is still here but I will certainly read at some point.
Thanks Ben for keeping this site going.
Hey Dan thanks for letting us know about RITAN.
Ben: We have been doing the sickness train here all winter so I have not been avle to be on much. It just keeps circling through out families and I certain;y hope you are doing better. I cannot wait for spring and opening the windows and just chasing the germs out!

The RITAN thing goes both ways:
It will be staying on Facebook, but also returning to a forum-format.
We have noted that there have been posts and replies removed by Facebook on occasion, so that's what has prompted the move more than anything else. This way people won't have to live by Facebook's rules, and it also means there's greater control for moderation etc. than there would ever be on FB (facebook doesn't handle moderation well at all).
It's a good move.

Facebook was censoring, why does that not shock me?
To mw, it seems as if this group has been brought back together for a reason. Perhaps, the time we live in.
