Fay,

The oldest thing that I can find that I wrote to FiveDoves wasn't until March 7, 2012.

I thought that I had written some things before that.

However, I had been reading the letters on FiveDoves for a long time before writing anything.

First, back in 2010, and possibly before that, a friend of mine, Roger Harrison, used to write to FiveDoves.

He used to enjoy debating against the partial rapture, but has since gone home to be with the LORD.

I don't remember if he used his own name or a pseudonym.

But then he sent a letter directly to Ron Reece, and Cc'd me, which ended up with me on Ron Reese's mailing list.

So I used to follow what Roger and Ron wrote, and what others wrote back to them.

Then another friend of mine starting writing to FiveDoves.

Sometimes he used the name Beryl, or Bill A, or Boanerges, and there may have been some other names that he used.

So I used to read what he wrote and what others wrote back to him.

I had thought that the first thing that I had written to FiveDoves, was to either Ron Reese or to Beryl, but I cannot find it.

I normally don't have the time to comb the archives, but I was so tired today, after the 2nd service, that's all I did.

You have been writing to FiveDoves for 13 years, and others were already writing then, and still are (e.g. Nando, Jean S, Steve C, etc)

Please don't stop until the blessed hope!
