--> And that’s not even counting the dozen law experts that I cited that condemn EGW for her wickedness. I note that in FalseWorld, the victims will not admit they actually believe White traveled in a vision to other planets, saw and unfallen race, and hobnobbed with Enoch. I guess it is humiliating that is the price you have to pay to be in that religion.

Well, SDAism has always been EGW’s personal little cult.

Probably explains the obsession with the sins of evangelical leaders that a bunch of them have too; they project their own cult of personality onto the Christian faith.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all this was motivated out of a desire to hurt someone, true.

I suspect it is self-flagellation.

That others aren't alsotrying to earn their own self-righteousness torques them.

And leads them to try to hurt out of... what, envy?

If they cared about our souls, they would have encouraged us in obedience instead of going REEEEEEEEEEE about a difference in theology.

Or praising them for their shallow psuedo-obedience for that matter.

“Yet it was a concern because of the false brothers
secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy on
our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus,
in order to enslave us”

I think the Apostle Paul summarized the approach
and goals of all religionists in Falseworld very
succinctly.

I believe they know they’re in a cult but don’t want to cut loose of it. So, they stay angry. Go to bed angry, get up angry. Heck, I would too if I had to try to defend what’s been posted here about EGW’s plagiarisms, going to a planet with seven (?) moons, and meeting sinless people that COULD sin but are so much better than Adam and Eve that they don’t sin at all. In direct contradiction, of course, of what the Bible says about man’s condition, and saying the word of God is wrong. It’s blasphemous because it means that Jesus was NOT the only sinless one to ever live. In the end, they have to claim they love God on the one hand but believe things that are contrary to the Bible on the other. It would be enough to make a person a little crazy.

It’s kind of like the evolutionists who are wont to say that Earth was seeded by aliens. Richard Dawkins comes to mind. You put the theory outside of what man can discover or see for himself. Pure BS, of course, but … a sucker’s born every minute.

What I don’t quite understand, is that if a bunch of people, are telling cult members, whatever cult they belong to, that they are in a cult, why aren’t they moved to investigate why? They may choose to remain in their cult, but at least they should try to figure out why we say it. How many actually do investigate? Maybe one out of a thousand? The rest don’t.

When I was a Catholic, that is exactly what I thought. I don’t quite understand why I believed in evolution, even when I was a Catholic. I cannot explain it.

Do you remember passing by a gazillion ape-to-man posters as a child?

No one has to say anything at all about evolution if a child is exposed to them often enough.

Not that I can remember. It seems to me, I may have seen it on TV, or maybe my Catholic dad believed in evolution too. It’s been so many years, I just don’t remember for sure. I just don’t think anyone, with two functioning brain cells, can ever believe in evolution.

That presumes they are seeking truth, instead of fighting to hold their (cultic) life experience together

Maybe 1 in 10,000

Not very good odds, is it? In my Catholic high school class, of 100, 3 of us were looking for the truth. As far as I know, the other 97 were not. Many of them that I still keep track of, are NOT looking for the truth.

I agree with you, brother. Evolution is the most ridiculous thing I think I’ve ever heard of. I actually tried several times in my life to think it through and try to force myself, for the sake of argument, to believe it. Then I tried to follow out that train of thought. Didn’t work ever, though, because there has to be an Originating Source for life no matter if we were supposedly (that is, stupidly) seeded by aliens or eventually turned into what we are now by an amoeba floundering around to make it out of the slime. That makes no sense either ‘cuz why would the dang amoeba want to leave the only environment it has ever known. Answer? To grow an eye. But how did it know about eyes and how did it get the whole thing of improving itself going? It was just a lil dumbarse amoeba. LOL. I’m laughing at myself and the ridiculousness of my post.

And to think that people really believe such things. (Kinda makes me feel a bit smart, so I’m - in some small way - thankful for them!)
