I'm in the final stages of decision as to moving to Colorado Springs. I'll be looking for a place to stay - preferrably in an roommate/housemate capacity... sharing a home/renting a room. Does anyone know of any believers in Colorado Springs that may have an extra room, a basement, etc? All I need is a small room with kitchen and bath privileges. I have no furniture... just books, clothes, etc... I have found some possibilities on craigslist.com... but if I can stay with believers, that would be MUCH better! If you know of someone that may be able to help me out... please contact me! Prayers are also welcome!!! David L. Smith wildography@yahoo.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildography

Sacramento, CA - Believer Help needed - ASAP: Please see my MY SPACE BLOG for further details... but... long story short... I moved to Sacramento, CA on June 30, 2008 and lived there for about 3 weeks... That turned out to be a BIG MISTAKE. I ended up calling the police on the person that I was staying with. Because I have no car, I ended up leaving almost all of my belongings there at the house - with her promising to ship the items to me. She reneged on her promise and is now threatening to "donate my items to charity". Here is my proposal... If you are living in Sacramento, CA... If you could go to that location (on Allegheny Drive - in East Sacramento), and pick up my belongings (with me making the arrangments by phone,email,etc)... you can keep MOST of the belongings OR sale them in a garage sale, or give them away or whatever... I would send you money to ship - to me - some of the items, especially: - a Young's Concordance; - a framed photo of my daughter; - some clothing - especially a brown leather jacket - and shoes; - some photographic CDs; - some misc photos and photo albums; You could keep or sale (or whatever): a GOOD photography tripod; a GOOD pair of snowshoes; a dell laptop computer (good only for word-processing); all the other clothes, jackets, western boots, shoes, etc; and all other items. I would send you the money for the items that I would like to have shipped to me. Email me with questions and I will send you my phone number and then we will cover any further details. Please respond ASAP... thank you! David L. Smith wildography@yahoo.com

I started going to fellowship in March, 1985, took the PFAF class in 09/85 (I did the Advanced class 20 years ago this week!), and was an assistant fellowship coordinator with Ron Webster in Roanoke, VA until things started to "go south" with TWI ... I moved from VA to Nashville with my family around 1995... so I guess I was "with" TWI for about 10 years... though I continued going to home-based fellowships until 2001 (when I moved to Yosemite). I see some posts about people being bitter or angry at TWI... but I look at my time with TWI with fondness... TWI was the "vehicle" that opened up God and His Word to me... a mutually shared loved that continues through this day and will echo throughout all eternity... Sure, the "things of man" pretty much "screwed" a lot of believers that were involved with TWI... what do you expect? The "adversary" was getting his butt kicked in a lot of areas due to a LOT of believers being "on fire" for God. 'Tis the way of the world... things subject to the "god" of this world will eventually "go south"... look through God's Word... even the "movement" started by the SON OF GOD, Jesus Christ, went through many hard and terrible changes and events... Organizations, of and by man, will always fail... but the children of God are the ones that keep the Word alive for all eternity... So, long answer to a short question... I'll see you guys in the air!!! David L. Smith wildography@yahoo.com

Hi Dana, I don't believe that we have ever met... unless it was at "the Rock of Ages'; however, the way that I look at it (no pun intended) is that as a child of God, God always remembers you AND... I'm looking forward to the Gathering Together... cause its going to take ALL of eternity to go around and hang out with everyone (that I didn't get a chance to, in this life)!!! So I look forward to seeing you in the air! David

Hi, Thanks for the messages... yes, the tree is a Ponderosa Pine; its in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, CA - where I lived for 4.5 years. You can see my FLICKR page for lots more photographs. I worked for the "official concessionair" for Yosemite: Delaware North (the most corrupt company, in my opinion, that I've ever worked for)... I did a lot with photography there; thus my reason for being there... also going there was a way to "heal"... Yosemite - certain areas at least - is the closest that I've ever been to Paradise... if you will be going - or if you know of anyone visiting, feel free to email me for suggestions or advice... I was a Security Specialist in the U.S.A.F. - stationed at Grissom AFB, IN and Castle AFB, CA... I wanted to stay stateside, because I had hardly seen any of my own country at that time... I was in from 02/82 to 02/86... for a while there in 1985, there was quite a movement of God with PFAL and believers... being a Security Specialist really allowed God to teach me about revelation and other areas... I'll see you in the air!! David

LOL... thre have been some funny responses to the initial question... makes for some entertaining reading... On a more serious note... I did write a web booklet that covers the subject, please feel free to take a look at it... http://theantichristrevealed.net It is a VERY basic booklet that leaves out a LOT of documentation; I didn't want to make it so long and detailed that people wouldn't read it all the way through, in one session. Who will the antichrist be? specificly? I don't really care... from what I read in the Word, all of the born-again Christians will be Gathered Together before he gets real nasty... but, I do know one thing... he'll be like his god... the Lord of Flies (Beelzabub, aka Lucifer)... you should be able to recognize who he really is by the SMELL! yuk!

Hi, Please allow me to introduce myself... I "got into the Word" in June, 1985; brought to my 1st fellowship by Norma Kehrer; I was in the U.S. Air Force at the time, stationed at Castle AFB, California. Norma brought me to a fellowship in Snelling, California, the home of Gordon & Roberta Gray. I took the foundational class of P.F.A.L. in September, 1985... life-changing, of course... especially for me in regards to KNOWING that I had Christ inside and that I was heaven bound. Also in the class was - among others - Andy Rice and Elizabeth (Libby) Montgomery. I "went W.O.W." after the Rock of Ages, 1986; serving as a Word Over the World ambassador in Laramie, WY (with Gregory Englert, Augie, and Jerry). Mario & Darlene were Corps there (last name forgotten, but Darlene is Canadian - from Calgary). Served on the California Limb staff - in Stockton, CA - with Rev. Doug Seed after the W.O.W field; Lorraine and Robin Varne were good friends there. I also met and married Karen Sanford (6th Corps) while there - in 1987/88. We moved to Roanoke/Salem, VA where we fellowshipped with Ron/Linda Webster. For a while Karen and I ran a fellowship, then we merged with Ron & Linda's fellowship, with me doing the Wednesday night fellowship. Karen and I later moved to Nashville, TN; there, we were involved with Rev. John & Holly Hill's fellowship (in Brentwood, TN). Our daughter, Jane Krysten, was born in November, 1993. Different issues led to Karen and I getting a divorce in 2001. I then lived in Yosemite Valley, Yosemite National Park, CA for 4.5 years; then I lived in Colorado Springs, CO for a while; then Rapid City, SD (where Karen and my daughter, Jane, now live). I'm currently in Colmesneil, TX for a while, staying with my Dad. I really loved my time fellowshipping with all the believers... ESPECIALLY so at the Rock of Ages... next best thing to the Gathering Together! I really look forward to the next BIG family reunion when we all meet in the air! If you know the location of, or have contact with any of the people named above, please let me know! Thanks; God Bless; and, I'll see you in the air! (if not before!) David L.
