“You are - apparently - digging your hole deeper by cutting and pasting from more websites without admitting you used a banned one.”


I don’t even remember there even being a hole about such a thing. I think this is more a manifestation of your desperation just talking to talk.

“just before you punched Brewer in the face.”


I think you want to punch Brewer in the face, but I am not so sure it has anything to do with him chatting with any high school girls from a story he himself offered from his life. I’m pretty sure it has more to do with him not being Catholic anymore, and so you want us all to imagine him there groping her and planning to commit statutory rape.

“There’s no way Brewer could go through all of THOSE MONTHS of ministry training for the SDA and only discover sometime afterward what they really teach about E. G. White when it is plain from their publically accessible literature at the time.”


How do you know the SDA always tells its members that White’s words are allegedly equal to scripture? There are plenty of people in that “denomination” who are not privy to every single claim their Prophetess has made. Same thing with the Mormons. Same thing with the Catholics. Ask a Catholic today whether or not their religion always taught freedom of religion, and they probably wouldn’t be aware that they have Popes as recently as the 19th century damning the entire concept.

Isn’t that just an assumption on your part on what he had or had not heard? And you have no evidence that he was lying at all, except that you desire that he is a liar? It’s not like anyone was confronting him about it either. You’re literally using his own testimony about his life, his premature entrance into the SDA, his dabbling with the Charismatics for a little while, and then his eventual leaving as he grew in knowledge.

It’s my duty to inform you that you seem more desperate than sure about anything you say.

So, what else do you have against Brewer? Your first two attempts have been pretty lame.

“I don’t even remember there even being a hole about such a thing. I think this is more a manifestation of your desperation just talking to talk.”

Okay, let’s see: Post the website from which you got the long Brewer quote.

“I think you want to punch Brewer in the face, but I am not so sure it has anything to do with him chatting with any high school girls from a story he himself offered from his life.”

Chatting? He said they “stole” time alone. He said he “interpreted” their “affection” as “love”. And you get “chatting” out of that?

“I’m pretty sure it has more to do with him not being Catholic anymore, and so you want us all to imagine him there groping her and planning to commit statutory rape.”

I don’t care what you imagine about Brewer. Imagine whatever you like, but there’s no way, they were just “chatting” if he thought they were in love. Apparently you’re already imagining quite a bit.

“How do you know the SDA always tells its members that White’s words are allegedly equal to scripture?”

How do you know they don’t? Have you ever read their old literature from the 50s and 60s? I read some. It’s there. And do you think you could be an SDA minister and not know that?

“There are plenty of people in that “denomination” who are not privy to every single claim their Prophetess has made.”

And how many ministers of the SDA would not know one of the foundational beliefs of that denomination? Think before you answer.

“Same thing with the Mormons.”

No. You will not find the equivalent of a pastor in Mormonism (and I realize there is no direct equivalent) who does not know that the LDS teaches the writings of Joseph Smith are scripture.

“Same thing with the Catholics. Ask a Catholic today whether or not their religion always taught freedom of religion, and they probably wouldn’t be aware that they have Popes as recently as the 19th century damning the entire concept.”

The question to ask would be this: Are both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition authoritative in the Church. And every priest (the equivalent of a minister) would know the answer is yes.

If you’re going to make analogies, make them correctly. I realize many public schools stink, but these are basic skills.

“It’s my duty to inform you that you seem more desperate than sure about anything you say.”

Okay, post the source of the original quote - the long passage - from Brewer that you posted. When you don’t do it, and I think it’s obvious you won’t, I think we’ll see something.

“So, what else do you have against Brewer? Your first two attempts have been pretty lame.”

No, I have been absolutely correct all along. What is pretty lame is how you won’t post the source of the original quote - the long passage - from Brewer that you posted. Care to explain that? Are you desperately looking for an actual copy of the book?
