A time when Christians are silenced ,a time when you type in "WCF" and you get an error code,no warning,just gone in an instant It reminded me of when I was a kid in school and in the middle of class the alarms went off for a drill- well we just had our " fire drill" Thoughts? I wondered- "Did George pull the plug "?Emails asking " Kwik,what's goin on"? And I didn't know..... couldn't reach George( for a minute,lol) Are you prepared - are your numbers written down or all in Google contacts- addresses?How would you reach your Brothers n Sisters? But even more importantly,what are you prepared to do to spread the Gospel if you can't sit on your couch n type? With love in Christ,Kwik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will try to find what hav3 just become unapproved Christian sites (unapproved by the various PTB in high places) and they simply won't be there any more. AT that time only underground, dark web and other obscure types of communication, will be available and it will probably be too late at that point to start searching for them without attracting attention to yourself and how they can be used so it might not hurt to be prepared in advance so you can just move into them without arousing suspicion. This sounds paranoid but, sadly, it isn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspected one of three things: Server crash, hacker, or George pulled the plug. And I did have some of those other thoughts too . . . we might have to go out and fellowship in person more!! LOL ;-) (since emoticons don't seem to be working . . .) So what really happened (just a server simply going down)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so" simply " like 20 yrs of millions of gb of data have to be recovered---George working with IT to get it up and running but the hundred of daily " hits" interfered with the process by constant interupptions.... finally they built a parallel site to work on and enter all thst data and then changed the name to WCF..( my interpretation mind you ,from a very non tecky layman) But we're back- thank the Lord (& George) ❤️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it was something rather significant, there was a while when there was no ping, then it started pinging again a couple days later but attempting to contact led to a 500 server error. I was wondering what was wrong as well, but was finally leaning toward either a total server failure or a DNS problem developing across a portion of the network. I always remember God has a hand and a purpose in all things. This is just a tiny part of some larger picture he has in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to be like a phone book directory but just immediate contacts (usually everyone will be included by extension that way). Just a thought. For a time of persecution is coming when the truth will not be tolerated. As near as it seems to be now, it is nothing like what it will be... or even has been historically. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
