Or I'll get a-hold of em with my trusty Athalon twenty-five million bullet one finger shooter and have em screaming to take turns preaching and so on, just so Ed will let em go home by 4pm Sabbath afternoon.

I'll teach em to not study, I'll feed em so full they'll need a shoehorn and vasilene to get in their cars.

I was discussing this matter with my teenage son this afternoon, and we both feel that we would really enjoy having regular testimony meetings, not just occasionally (not that we ever have them at all now!), but often enough that people can share all the stories of how God is working in their lives and leading and teaching them. This is what really interests me, much more than sermons. Yet how few would even tolerate such meetings. I suspect that the majority would go elsewhere should a church do such a thing.

The Lord is the strength of my life and my portion forever.

I would also be interested in hearing a testimony from everybody in the Testimonial Platform forum.

Me, too.
I'd even forgo my usual impatient whining and crying if they'd just start posting.

Come on y'all, it ain't hard. Just tell us what God has been doing in your lives...... please?

Staying somewhat on topic, the week before the bat invaded our church we had a very blessed Sabbath day.

A woman from inner-City New York gave her testimony (she had never vistited the "country" and was grateful to her hosts), we had three "special musics," a canvasser shared his experiences and I recited the Sermon on the Mount from memory.

Thank for enlightening me about other forums. Like churches, I tend to be locked into a pattern of familiarity--I can't always talk to everyone in one visit. I'll check out the testimony forum after this post.

I don't want to stray from the topic, however, if you want to display your phone number for all to see, you could place it in your profile either under the Interest Section or possibly under the ICQ Section beginning it with Phone: 000-000-0000.

Ed, I am already planning on buying the Complete Writings of EG White on CD-ROM, if that is what you have in mind. But it will take a year or 2 to save the money for it.

You can just go the E.G. White Estate and look up whatever you want. Buying the CD seems redundant to me. Just a suggestion.

Hi Pastor Dan,
I have the EGW CD-Rom, and it has been a blessing.
Where I live, it is sometimes difficult to get online, and having the CD makes it a lot easier to study.
Besides, with the CD I don't have to worry about thre EGW web being down or the provider pulling the plug.

It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
