Haha, I just noticed that. All this time, I have been thinking.. how can I shorten Vendetta Ride to something smaller... without having it sound like disease. I guess VR will do. I have no idea why I thought the initials were VD. Sorry Brother.

David Cloud has those who find his work very worthwhile and may even hang on his every word, and those who literally hate him. Peter Ruckman has those who find his work very worthwhile and may even hang on his every word, and those who literally hate him. Interestingly, the two men are adversarial with each other and the followers of one are often the haters of the other. What is sad is that both men have much beneficial material. If we examined the materials written by the both of them objectively without knowing about the authors themselves, most of us who are KJBO would be in nearly 100% agreement with either one.
I will openly admit my appreciation of the work of David Cloud. I have several of his books (and, no, they are not overpriced) and they have a great deal of valuable content. I will also openly admit that I keep Dr. Ruckman at a distance, not because of Cloud's comments, but primarily because of some of Dr. Ruckman's disciples' attitudes. Just a note about emails to David. He has a weekly email newsletter. In one of the issues, he stated that he rarely responds to emails. He apparently receives a very large amount of mail, and so he has made a choice not to respond as a rule. He should be granted that right. |

Please understand that I am not supporting David's lack of communication, I am simply indicating that he has explained his reasons. Interestingly, one of his emails this week addressed this very issue.
David Cloud and Peter Ruckman both have similar problems. They both are at the forefront of the KJB fight and therefore draw heavy fire from all sides. They both are very likely overwhelmed with incoming letters, electronic and otherwise. David estimated that he could spend 4 hours a day just responding to emails. And to top it all, both of them have hair-trigger tempers and sharp tongues/pens. Neither shows much in the way of humility when challenged. |

That's interesting, since Cloud's beef with Ruckman is Ruckman's "Bad Attitude" and "Temper"

After thinking about brother Cloud and his ministry I've decided to subscribe to his newsletter. If his view that women shouldn't wear pants is the only real complaint that people have against him, then I can deal with that (I for one agree with him on this). I can also deal with his complaints against Ruckman. I love Ruckman and will continue to be a student of his writtings, but Ruckman isn't free of undesirable qualities, so his objections to the man aren't really any sort of suprise. The only thing I can find out about brother Cloud that I'm not very fond of is that his views on the AV1611 aren't as staunch as mine are. I agree 100% with Ruckman when it comes to the KJV. Anywho, I think I will add some Cloud books to my library when the funds permit, and I'll share my thoughts on his them when I get to that point.
Peace and Love, Stephen |

Dr. Cloud, along with Dr. Waite and others, believe that the King James Bible is the only acceptable English Bible, not because they believe the Book itself has authority, but that it derives its authority from (in Cloud's case) the Textus Receptus, and in Waite's case, the "Divine Originals."
I've refrained from getting involved because of past disagreements with those that hold strongly with him and his teachings; on the last board I got banned from (last in a long line ![]() |
