@civreal

You might be surprised upon doing some research into the issue of lawsuit funding. There's actually a letter available, a scan of which is online, wherein Robert. W. Nixon answered an inquiry on the subject. He explained that the lawsuit funding comes from the annual appropriation, and that appropriation comes from the tithe. So yes, there is an actual issue of accountability here.

@civreal I spent a long time studying SDA doctrine years ago.I found it, as well as most Sabbatarian groups' doctrine in general, to be totally untrue.I won't go into it all here but Sabbath keeping, the Sanctuary Doctrine, Investigative Judgment,Ellen White prominence, soul sleep/conditional immortality are all WRONG, UNTRUE, UNBIBLICAL, whatever you want to call it. You seem to be happy with it so you probably won't check it out thoroughly and find out for yourself.

@ConfederateGypsy

Actually Adventist Doctrine is all biblically true. However most people believe that the SDA church take things out of context which is actually not true because unlike most other churches we don't disregard the Old Testament. And because we use both we've discovered different meanings of verses and scripture passage that are sound to both old and the new which is the way it should be. If we didn't have extremes there wouldn't be misunderstandings.

@civreal Actually, a lot of SDA doctrine is wrong but that is another issue. Attacking little groups b/c they want to use the word Adventist is just wrong and shows a real power trip the leaders are on. The SDA are not the only ones to come from the Advent Movement.

@ConfederateGypsy

well there's good and bad in every denomination i mean catholic popes and priests raped and molested little kids, sure the Adventist Church may have their faults but that doesn't mean that their doctrines and the concepts are wrong. It's just the way some people follow those doctrines. I'm an SDA and i'm pretty sane...

@godscuttingyoudown MEN WHAT CAN I SAY///even tght SDA member live longer cuz they are the truth church on earth NOT the institution....talking about the people(church)

[godscuttingyoudown]

@alfaandomegaagain if you donate money to the SDA it was used to finance the lawyers for the trial, so don't try to be apologetic think were all simpletons on YouTube to think your just a fluffy innocent bunny in this matter, you are financing the destruction of another religion like a mafia boss pays his thug to put a hit on someone

[ConfederateGypsy]

Alfa, you say you don't agree with it but you remain part of the denomination. By staying with the organization you are practically saying it is OK. What do you do to oppose this?
