Guys, I used to post on rr bulletin board too. And have been banned without a formal notice. One of the moderators sent a pm asking me to move on initially saying I'm trending towards Calvinism. Unfortunately I'm "calvinistic" in the Paul Henebury sense which Henebury himself declares he is non-Calvinist!

The banning in Sep last year was like you guys -unable to log in, you know it sounds fishy when the server is "too busy" at 3:00 am EST 7 days a week. And on a sister forum a person who is a moderator on both forum recognised me and admitted freely I was ousted from RR.

It turns out vbulletin v4 (the engine underneath RR) has a hack called miserable users which prevents persona non grata from logging in. This is designed to inflict greater pain than banning straight away. I believe the use if this hack is not only unethical, not to mention in-Christian, it breaches their own board rules regarding procedures in banning someone.

Also, when the current board was set up in April 2007 an excuse given from Todd S was the old board didn't reflect their views on issues as it was an independent forum. Come on, the moderators of the current RR board is now doing the same thing, and declaring the main site and forum are under different editorial positions.

It is interesting to read the comments of ones who "know Jesus" but who do not understand that He was a Jew. They likely do not understand the purpose of the appointed times and are going to be caught unaware, like the virgins with no oil in their lamps. The Ruach is moving, people, wake up!

This is makeupgirl from RR. I just asked to be banned because I couldn't take it anymore. All I did was ask questions as to why does it say something about someone if they voted or have voted for Obama. I'm not a supporter but I'm not going to bash the dude and I point blank told them that. A few (Tim K and Florian)in particular said A "True Christian" would not vote or support Obama.

It hurt me deeply that they actually was comparing supporting Obama or even voting for him to being a Christian which has nothing to do with the other. Then when I came out as a Democrat, you would have thought that I mentioned the word "bomb" on the airplane.

So lately, I was having these dreams about racism. I never knew why until I saw RR for what it really was and I knew the Lord was revealing to me that it was time to leave. It's blatantly obvious that they literally hate Obama over there and show some possible undercover racism towards him. Calling him the anti-Christ, trying to find proof that he's not a US Citizen, stating that he's evil, etc..etc.. I called them out and told them to be honest as to why they really feel about him and not just say it's because he goes against the what's in the bible as an excuse. They didn't like that but I don't care, I know a hypocrite when I see one. I just say own it, if they have some issues with him that doesn't have to do with him either not being a Christian or even as a democrat. I told them straight up, I refuse to drink the kool-aid called "lets get together and hate obama" No, that's wrong and not what Christ would have done. And if they don't feel any guilt, remorse, or conviction about doing that, then it speaks a lot about them.

I'll confess, I didn't leave on good terms because I called out a couple of people and also my deadpan sense of humor probably wasn't taken lightly and I'll own up to that but take away my right to agree, disagree, to think, to laugh, or to express myself and then state that I'm not a Christian because of it, then I have a problem and now I am going to question with a heavy heart, if the there is a cult going on over there or if there are wolves in disguise of sheeps.

I'm pretty much over what has been done and what happened but being banned (even though I asked to be) was the best thing ever.

We live for Christ and Christ alone and I'm sure he would not have hated on anyone for their difference of opinion nor would he hate someone that may be of a different race, nationality, or have different values.

I pray that they will allow God to show them the error of their ways. Either way, I'm done over there.

2012-05-07T19:45:38.117-04:00

Frankly, I'm glad to be gone from RR. The funny thing is that if you look on the RR homepage, you'll find pastors listed there, I guess, Todd (or whoever monitors the homepage) says are "safe", but then when you go to rr-bb.com, the moderators are bad mouthing and saying they're doctrinally unsound. Pastor John MacArthur and the late Pastor David Wilkerson are two they've bashed as basically being heretics.

Also, I've seen news articles posted on the homepage, but the mods remove when someone posts them on the rr-bb.com site. Doesn't Todd or Terry ever go to rr-bb.com to see what the mods are doing there? Anyway, I'll NEVER go back there - I'm done with the crazy mods allowing certain people to post anything they want, but others are reprimanded, banned, etc. for the least little believed infraction.

Re: Post #39..."I was banned a couple months ago. I can still "log in" but it always says the server is "too busy." If the server is "too busy" then how can everyone else post and not I everyday for the last 2 months."

This is exactly what happened to me on April 9, 2012. I also had encounters with Steve53 and iSong, so all I am reading here sounds very familiar. Thank you for this site.

2012-05-03T04:45:19.228-04:00

Re: Post #43-44...I believe I know who you are and I think I am that person who sent you that PM in the Rapture Ready forum.

To make a long story short, I've also been banned...I never received a formal "ban" notice, but was falsely accused of having more than one account. My husband and I use the same IP address (same network, two different computers)and when he registered, of course the same IP showed up. Instead of asking me in a PM and trying to rectify their obvious error, the administration banned one of the names and restricted my account (which I've had for 6 years) to where I cannot even log on. I can only "read" when I am not logged in (which is impossible now). I left their FB group too. I also wrote two emails to one of the mods (the one who came after you) asking her if she could please check into the "multiple accounts" problem. I never received a response from her, nor did I receive a response for the administration on FB.

I was viciously attacked by the mods in the Apologetics forum because I questioned someone's salvation, who is now deceased. All my posts were deleted in that forum (Apologetics)and I cannot get into it at all now.

I was wondering what had happened to you. You had a really cool avatar..but I can't remember your nic. My nic is "LindaR".

2012-04-09T14:51:10.438-04:00

This is poster #43 following up.

I logged into my RR account today, just to see if the thread was still up. My thread was deleted.

However, I did have a private message awaiting me. It was from a fellow board member (NOT a moderator) who agreed with my thread and thanked me for posting the information. She even said she felt some of the moderators were rude, and felt one even kind of attacked me by throwing the rule book at me.

Sadly, I could not reply to this kind person, because when I tried to, it said I was banned:

"You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified. Date the ban will be lifted: Never"

I have never experienced the like in any forum I've ever participated in. Ever.

What a sad, sad witness for Christ. I feel very sorry for any Christians who were emotionally hurt by these people. And I feel sorry as well for any unbelievers who might never want to hear the Gospel again because of how these moderators treat others.

I forgive them, but I pray God brings them to their senses.

2012-04-02T16:55:41.916-04:00

Wow! I just found this site Googling, wondering if it was just me.

I haven't been banned yet, but I definitely believe you guys. I'm sure it's only a matter of time until I am banned.

As a new member, I created a thread in the Apostasy forum regarding what a teacher they respected (and even I respect) said on his radio show that I thought was doctrinally really, really bad. (The pastor said that were many "good" Mormons who would go to heaven as long as they had a relationship with Jesus and didn't think works saved them.)

My thread title called to pray for this pastor, because I know he is well-respected, and I am personally concerned for him. I was very humble about the entire post, as I figured there would be enough raw nerves. I also merely wanted a fair discussion opportunity over this pastor's words.

Well, within seconds from posting the thread, it was moved directly from the Apostasy forum to the Prayer Request forum. The Prayer Request forum? Really? Within a day later, the thread was buried, since that forum is very busy with people's actual personal prayer requests (and understandably so!). I figured it was an honest mistake that my thread was moved there, since the title had the word "pray" in it.

I politely asked in the "Board Help & Suggestions" forum what to do if I felt that my thread was accidentally moved to the wrong forum. I also said in advance sorry and that I was new, and I was wondering if I had broken a rule. I didn't know who to contact to find out what I had done wrong.

iSong6:3, one of the mods, replied back, saying I had broken a forum rule by asking why my thread had been moved. I was told to contact an admin about it, but was never told how. iSong6:3 also said stated his/her opinion regarding the thread (that he/she/whoever agreed with what the teacher said). This made me suspect that my thread had been deliberately buried, but I decided to assume the best and figure out on my own how to contact an admin.

At last, I figured out how, and I contacted Buzzardhut. He moved the thread back to the Apostasy forum, no questions asked.

Within hours, mods (including iSong6:3) started ganging up on me in my thread. I have no problem that they disagree. But iSong6:3 moved my thread AGAIN, this time to the "Christian Chat" forum, saying that because they couldn't agree that the teacher was heading into apostasy, that it didn't belong in the Apostasy forum. Meanwhile, there were a few people who posted that agreed with me, but their opinions were ignored.

Then I asked (politely, saying I was confused) why my thread got moved again, even though an admin had moved it back to Apostasy? HeIsEnough (another mod) responded verbatim with the following:

"Don't make it a habit about questioning where things go in the open forum please. Read the rules again if you don't recall what they say."

I finally said sorry, I'll shut up, and sorry for stepping on a sacred cow by breaking a forum rule and calling out a teacher they liked.

HeIsEnough pointed out that I had broken yet another rule by having a sarcastic reply that was filled with "deep-seated anger".

So now I'm the angry one, and well on my way to being banned. Am I frustrated? Yes. Angry? No. Just confused, and starting to feel cornered and ganged up on. Who wouldn't? How can I not come away with the impression that I've just been censored? And how can I not help but publicly question why my thread keeps getting buried in odd forums, when the mods are publicly stating that they're moving my thread?

I am so not posting again at Rapture Ready. Sorry for the rest of you who have been hurt. I feel your pain.

2012-03-25T23:40:35.136-04:00

This is OliveOilMom and I was recently banned from RR because when I joined I was asked to post my testimony. I told them I would gladly do that but it would be a few days before I had the time to write it out the way I wanted to. They kept on and on and ganged up on me and accused me of not being a Christian, not having a testimony, being a troll, etc. So I posted an extremely short version of it, and then I told them that judging me like that was unkind, unchristian and wrong. Thats when my IP was banned.

Chris PM'd me and invited me to RF site (their sister site) and said it was nicer. It was for a day or so. Then they started in too. Apparantly my final sin was on a (now completely re-edited and retitled) thread about the Zimmerman shooting in Florida, I had asked a guy who posted info that I hadn't seen about the case "Where did you get that info?" There was no link or anything just a list of things I hadn't heard. I have a friend who is following the story and I wanted to send it to her. He went off on me accusing me of all kinds of stuff. I kept trying to explain that I didn't mean it offensively when I asked him where he found it, I just wanted a link so I could show it to someone who might find it interesting. Then Mattfivefour told me that the Bible says we shouldn't defend ourselves. I was being unchristian. Please! That thread is in Rapture Forums (not Rapture Ready) and it's under the breaking news section. I'm sure it's been changed even more by now.

Anyway, I posted elsewhere and told them I was going, that I had found out about how they actually treat people, and I'm not going to stay there. I did that just a few minutes ago and I'm sure I'm banned now.

They were just mean for no reason at all! None!

2012-03-22T01:11:05.957-04:00

Did it escape Antibes attention that 7yr treaty was signed in 2010 by BHO with Russia? If you read the treaty and after you will see that many other nations also signed the treaty. It's now exactly 1yr to the day from the date marked by Dewey B. Look around in the USA and clearly preparations by our gov't for mass control are taking place. Also if you read the other articles by Dewey on the site you will see that he does advise that we should be prepared. Better safe than sorry right? I, for one, plan on being no where near the USA during this date! May the Lord bless as we keep watch!

This article makes a lot of sense. I also think that the Nephilim (the giants) who survived, (when the True God, Jehovah/Yahweh, commanded the Israelites to destroy their fortified cities and kill every man, woman and child, of all seven cities, because of their cannalbalism, and extreme cruelty) eventually were able to manipulate their dna to get the height out, and it is they who are the globalists today.

2012-03-04T23:41:02.202-05:00

Very eye-opening video by Mr. Bruton, and very believable. The only question I have is concerning the confirmation of the covenant. I always thought the anti-christ would confirm the covenant with many for a 7 year period, but we wouldn't know who he was at that time, as he is only revealed as he stands on the rebuilt temple mount to take away the daily sacrifice and setup the abomination of desolation (II Thes 2:2-4). But when he confirms the covenant, shouldn't we also see the borders of Israel confirmed, along with the status of Jerusalem (which of the various groups will control which various parts of the city), and of the temple mount sharing arrangement which finally allows the rebuilding of the third temple? It seems in order for that to have happened, according to Dewey's timeline, we would have needed to see this peace treaty setup at the beginning of the final 7 years, sometimes at the beginning of 2010. And I don't see that has happened to date, as the Israeli's and the Palestinians are having trouble getting the discussions going again.

Regardless of this question I have, I am highly recommending this video to all.

Thanks to Mr. Bruton for a job well done.

Blessings,

Val

2012-02-21T03:51:14.242-05:00

Since my life has changed and since i decided to follow Jesus i have learned that we should focus on Jesus and not on man. I have also realised that man can make mistakes, believers make mistakes and nobody is perfect. Nobody knows everything and just because a believer makes a certain error, it does not make him a false believer or a fraud. We must be very careful to judge and point fingers at one another. Obviously their are false prophets and false teachers but if we are realy born again and focus on Jesus and walk with Him we will be safe and in good hands.

2012-02-21T03:36:11.010-05:00

I think we must be ready!!! The fact of the matter is rapture or not, we must live each day as if the Lord is coming today. I also believe that we should be able to discern the times that we living in and keep our eyes wide open. Time is close and i cant waite for this life to end so that we can spend our lives with our God and our King for ever and ever. Just cant wait!!

2012-01-22T16:26:23.802-05:00

I used to be a member of RR yrs. ago before the split - & now the New RR has a mod named Steve53 who is, imo, the worst of the mods -Some type of Nepoleon Complex he has! "he" sounds very familiar to me; almost exactly like "Christine" from the old RR board. The use of many identical & very uncommon phrases were written by both; and their writing style is identical. I wouldn't be at all surprised if both were the same person. I do know for a fact that "private messages" are not private. Why such evil on a "Christian" website? It would take a book to write of all the deceptive practices I and another member have witnessed at that site over the yrs. I truly believe that the "tares" are running the show at RR - and sadly, they believe that they are "wheat". Such hardened hearts are rarely even seen among professing unbelievers. sad. Two of my close friends remain members at RR - but only for the curiosity. Its rather interesting to watch the enemy pose as believers...but those with eyes to see, such as those who have posted here, are on to them. May God protect and give wisdom to us all who are His in these deceptive last days!

2012-01-10T23:40:13.771-05:00

It's worse than absolute evil - the website is run by people who are Christians in name only. Deceiteful, dishonest, etc... Warnings are not given - people who speak the truth are banned, but the user name stays the same and does not show "banned" under it. Therefore, no one knows that the person cannot post or read anymore. I can't figure out their agenda there? Why delete and change people's posts that they disagree with? Why not just discuss with scripture? I noticed when people do use scripture they are the ones usually banned. Its very sickening....however, I watched the old RR board fall apart and the very hateful 2 two women that moderated it eventually reaped what they had sewn. I wondered how long God would allow the abuse, and then in rather short order, calamity happened to both of them in their personal lives. ....I'm not rejoicing in that fact, its just that God doesn't allow it to go on forever. I would be very afraid if I were the mods on this current board treating God's children with utter deceit and abuse of power - they have no fear of God, only the craving of power. Their mouths speak what is in their hearts. Best to stay away from that place - Not much can be learned there anyway when every word is monitored by the enemy.

2011-12-25T21:36:41.363-05:00

I was banned a couple months ago. I can still "log in" but it always says the server is "too busy." If the server is "too busy" then how can everyone else post and not I everyday for the last 2 months. the beliefs they force on believers is NOT Godly. The mods do not allow to be rebuked for correction. They dominate and ban anyone that speaks truth. It's frustrating. I am all for the rapture. Carla47 and isong must be the same person from the posts they post. They dominate by moderating ip addresssed. I asked Todd, the owner, for my screen name and profile to be deleted. He said nobodys is ever deleted because of needing ip address info. That's how they keep double profiles straight and from banned members re-appearing. They KNOW that their site is a fraud in God's eyes. Steve53 and Isong are dictators. All they ever say is "blah blah.... whatever" and then "Well it has too be soon." "Yep sooon..." "....Anytime now." How are they helping God's kingdom? They also believe that the church (of only america i guess) wont see persecution when Jesus said we would. How many people are suffering for christ??? Wake up. Believer's are dying all over. We're lucky. Things are only going to get worse and they refuse to hear it. "Jesus doesn't want a beat up bride..." Tell that to the preacher in iran or the dead believers all over the M.E. and africa. I think alot of them are in for a rude wake up call when their necks in in a guilloutine or imprisoned in a american concintration camp... They condemn all that is good. " Juist Look at all those evil people living off the government!" Let's help them not condemn!!! Everything is negative. The website burns me up. Absolute evil.

2011-12-07T02:04:02.876-05:00

I was banned from RR ,was maybe 10 yrs ago , I considered maybe checking it out again , then I came across this thread , well I guess I will skip the visit or at least posting on it .

I have found that most all web sites like RR are much the same .

How can you have people come together on the internet for BIBLICAL study or fellowship from all different views and understandings and expect it to work ? It will never work that way , only division and strife can happen , so they must act like militant Mods as they are trying to keep the peace . Really it just does not work . So do not expect it to work.
1 Cor 1 v10,11
There must be unity and one mindedness in all matters of the faith .

Also it is the Holy Spirit that makes that all possible .
So how many on the internet do not have the Holy spirit , many of them. So what else could we expect , but strife etc.You cannot have a mix of believers and unbelievers in a web site setting like RR or others like it .
I think that only knowing people in person even has a chance of working as far as getting Godly unity on the faith and truth of the scriptures , which would supply the fellowship we all would like to have .
A mixed bag will never work , why because they all are dancing to a different tune so to speak , and not the One that the Holy Spirit makes.

2011-11-05T11:05:46.062-04:00

Good grief! I went to the RR site today just to nose around and see if they were still spewing their hatred and false doctrines. YEP! I was banned a year ago and have not looked back...good riddance for me was my frame of mind. I could never fit in there and nothing I posted was ever agreed with or usually not even responded to. I've had threads I started locked, then my posting abilities suspended, and then the mods would mock me saying I ran away like a coward, and other choice statements. HisBride was ridiculous as was that Buzzardhut personna. He's WAY off, possibly even mentally unbalanced. All the members I used to post with are gone, gone, gone. There is only a scant number of member names on that board that I recognize anymore. Guess everyone either got banned, too or finally wised up and left that heretical forum.

I don't remember the year I was there but it must have been around 2002 or so, and they were exactly the same then.
got banned and never looked back, Praise the Lord!

Too many out there shoveling manure in this world, everyone needs to read the scriptures for themselves, and take nobody's word for nothing.

To Anon Post 132...
Sorry to hear that you were banned. I was following that thread and thought that the questions raised on the thread were valid...especially by one of the last posters who was last heard from Oct 15...It truly is sad that one cannot raise disagreements on topics that have no bearing on ones salvation. I am calvinistic in my doctrine, unapologetically so, so i know where you are coming from. I had seen so many lies and distortions that the mods brought up it truly was a sad thing to see by those who claim themselves to be believers. I was banned a while back for daring to say that cathechisms can be useful to the church to help believers learn doctrine. It is ironic that the church had more biblically literate believers when they used them than when they didn't...Enjoy your banishment and pray for the mods that they see the errors of their ways...

2011-10-31T16:51:46.136-04:00

Well, you can add another one to the "banned IP address" list today. I'm surprised I make it as long as I did since I even made to "regular" member status. Probably only because I felt like I was walking on eggshells all the time & didn't post much. I liked the other Christians on the site & tried to be encouaging to the newbees or someone w/a problem that was asking for advice.

Many of the Prophecy Scholars we "coundn't mention" I think are on fire for the Lord. I guess that shows they don't have very good discernment to begin with. (I was a "good girl" & followed the rules & didn't mention them.)

Ironically, I just mentioned to some friends a couple days ago it seemed like they softened up a little on their "Conspiracy Theory" parameters. They had said in the past they weren't thrilled w/the RR site but hadn't actually posted the specific reasons why.

So now that I'm up to speed it looks more like its an "honor" to be banned from RR.

There is a relatively new Forum up called "The Watchman Forum" that only has approx 350 members but you can fellowship there w/o looking over your shoulder.

Sorry you all went though this @ RR. When the stuff really hits the fan they won't have many of the solid on fire Christians around to offer the insights God has shown them to build up the Body of Christ. Praise God His ways are not our ways!

In His Glory
