I wouldn't be where I am or who I am today without God having spoken to me through that message. I spent 3 years doing non-stop tract and personal evangelism from the time I first heard the message at 15 years of age until I left to go to Peru and China in 2002 after graduating from high school. I have now been a missionary for about 5 years . . . in the foothills of Tibet ministering to Buddhists and Muslims. I have prayed and longed for the day that 'Hell's Best Kept Secret' would no longer be the secret that it once was, and I am overjoyed to see all that God has done and is still doing!!!! -- Eugene WestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140917903722388348.post-57595853307730372812008-09-21T18:50:00.000-05:002008-09-21T18:50:00.000-05:00@Benjamin FranklinThanks BF.

Something is really wrong with me right now, and I doubt an atheist group will do anything.<BR/><BR/>I think I'm going to stop posting on Ray's blog for a while. I'm going through these spells where I think Ray is right and I'm going to Hell. <BR/><BR/>When I calm down, I realize how irrational I was, but during these periods, I just don't feel right. And even when it's over, there's still this lagging feeling that doesn't seem to go away.<BR/><BR/>The only thing that seems to help is exercise and lots of it. So I'm going to spend the rest of the day playing video games. <BR/><BR/>Thanks BF, I'm sure I'll be fine. :)Debunkey Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355896606457674317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140917903722388348.post-56816999729995317642008-09-21T15:47:00.000-05:002008-09-21T15:47:00.000-05:00EDIT: Wow, I can't type for crap.
