Howdy! I'm Charlie Boyd in Wichita, KS. I was previously on here as Charbo. As a result of losing my jOB about a year ago I had to cut internet at the house. However jOB searching at the library was rather tedious and now I have the net connected again (I think I'm prOBably saving gas too.) The prOBlem however was that I could not remember my password and the email account I had then is inactive, so I had to re-register. I'm prOBably friends with many of you on Facebook.

Introducing Wm. Pinard My name is William Pinard. My last name is french/latin. In French 'pinar' is a common word for wine; the wine that lays in the barrel just below the spigot. In Latin, a 'pinar' was the lowest denomination coin minted by Rome, a 1/4 penny made of copper. My forefathers immigrated from French Quebec before and then after the civil war to San Jose, CA. So I'm at least a fifth generation Californian. But they all seemed to have drinking prOBlems; or other excuses for failure. Catholic by birth was as close as they got to God as far as I can tell. Hope I'm wrong. I left home in a spiritual sense when I was twelve years old; asked God to come int…

Hey guys, I blogged this, I thought you might get a kick out of it. The full story is on my blog (you can click the link in my signature to go there) and includes pictures... So when people find out that I wrote a book, especially when they find out it's a commentary on Revelation, they jump to a couple of conclusions. First, that I'm really smart. Secondly, that I think I'm really smart and full of myself. Neither one is true. I'm just a guy who is willing to put in the work necessary to solve prOBlems and explain things in the Bible in a way that is easy to understand and read. It has nothing to do with being "smart", I just have a desire to learn. I'm not even rea…

Good Saturday evening! I am new to this forum, and so very thankful to have found it. It is such a blessing to be able to interact with other like-minded people. I reside in north Texas (where it is nice and toasty just now!). I work as a legal secretary, never married, and enjoy a quiet life with my two naughty little cats. I know I will learn so much from everyone here, and wish to express my appreciation in advance for the many blessings I anticipate receiving and friends I know I will make here!

I have recently discovered this forum thanks to a Brother over at Baptistboard.com, after being discouraged with the topics and level of discussion over there. I hope to find like-minded believers here with whom I can engage in uplifting and educational discussions based on scripture.

Hey, OBF, First, let me thank whoever is responsible for such a fine place. This is really a Cadillac of user sites, isn't it? Second, I found you folks through FundamentalTop500 just in the last week - my site was just picked up there. Third, a little about myself: I'm an Independent Baptist Pastor in Sunny Central Florida. However, as you can tell from my avatar, I'm not a native Floridian! I'm in a relatively small town way off the coastline; it's more like "South Georgia" or "South Alabama" really than Florida. There's nothing "touristy" about where I live - and we're 30 minutes from the Ocean. (In Florida, if you leave 30 minutes from the ocean/gulf, you might …

Hello to everyone, My name is Nick. I am 17 years old and I live in Florida. I am in my final year of high school where I participate in ROTC and music as well as other basic classes. The town I live in is small, nice and very VERY religious. The last fact seems to be the prOBlem and here comes the part where you all hate me. I am not a christian. I am actually pagen, predominatly Odinist. I am adopted by my family and they are Baptist. They have tried and tried to get my to convert and to go to church, but I can't seem to do it. I joined this website in hopes that maybe you could help me with this 'prOBlem' I have. I'm just sick and tired of disappointing my family …

Greetings to all the blood washed saints of this board and others who may come across this post. I have been Independent Baptist since 2007 and growing in the Lord. I view the King James Bible as the word of God without question or apology. I hold to a pre-millennial dispensational viewpoint and believe in modest dress and separation from the world as best we can. If anyone knows of a good independent baptist church in the denver area do tell. I look forward interacting with you in these forums and pray that we will sharpen each other as iron sharpeneth iron. May the Lord bless all of you.

Hello Online Baptist, My name is Anthony and I'm glad to be here. I hope my input will be helpful. I goto Cross Roads Baptist in Lawrenceville Georgia and we are IFB. We just had the Whisnants come to our church on Easter and in May 21 we will have the Primitive Quartet coming. I look forward to this. We also are starting our Spring Revival on the 3rd of May to the 5th with Dr.Scott Caudill and I'm looking forward to this also.

I think God that I will be able to help with this since I have my CDL's so I can drive the bus for the church. Well thanks and I …

Logging in to tell y'all a little about myself and to say hello. I was born and raised in the great state of Texas.

I'm new here and just wanted to say hello. I was Baptist as a young child, but was mostly raised (and confirmed) in the United Methodist Church. I became Episcopalian in college and have been ever since. I am saved by grace through faith. I enjoy discussing topics related to faith and the Bible and the topics I have read on these boards have been very interesting and thought provoking, so that's why I'm here. I hope that's ok. I look forward to getting to know everyone. Peace be with you.

Hello Brother and sisters, I am a 32yr old guy living in California. I was led to the lord in 2000 by my friend chuck. I have been on fire and luke warm at best. I am currently lukewarm to downright cold. I have not been right since i came back from the war in 2006. It rattled my faith. Then i just have a hard time believing some of the things in the bible. The devil has planted the seed. So i ask that those of you that are strong help me get right.

Well, hello everyone!!! I’ve been involved at church activities since I was 5 years old, but made my decision for Jesus when I was 18. Since then, trying to learn and understand more and more about Him and what is to be a real Christian into this world. In the last year I have to say that I'm looking for a new church, because I don’t really fit into the new spiritual wave Brazilian churches are having right now. I mean, I was raised learning directly from the Bible and it's strange to me when people get together without this purpose in mind... It may sound a little critical, but I think it’s one of Christian goals to think about things and not accept everything that …

Hello, everyone! I've been lurking for a bit, but I haven't properly introduced myself yet. I'm an independent fundamental Baptist from North Georgia. I have a wonderful husband and a precious son. I'm a housewife, home schooling mother. I am so happy to have found this site. I have the worst time finding places online to fellowship and discuss Baptist doctrine in a safe environment. Even on other sites that profess to be "Christian-based" I have been belittled and questioned and had my walk with Christ attacked for being a fundamentalist Christian. Anyway, I look forward to getting to know everyone better!
