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


Wow, your desperation is palpable. There is no indication of any physical intimacy between them, or even any indication that he planned to break his vow of chastity. That’s just what you wished happened since you hate Brewer.

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


Apparently lots. Think before you ask me stupid questions.

“There are a myriad of reasons for why people leave the SDA Church, but in recent years, one reason has begun to stand out above all others: Knowledge. With easy access to the Internet, Adventist members have at their fingertips a wealth of knowledge about the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Thanks to former SDA ministers such as Elder Dale Ratzlaff, Elder Sydney Cleveland, Elder Walter Rea, Dr. Desmond Ford, and many others, a wealth of knowledge regarding the fallacies of Seventh-day Adventism is now available to anyone willing to take the time and effort to study their religion.

Adventists are often sucked into the SDA Church through cleverly disguised and advertised evangelistic campaigns held in a public locations with no mention that the meetings are organized by Seventh-day Adventists. The multimedia presentations are designed to appeal to the senses and the emotions. End-time prophecies are presented in such a way as to arouse alarm and fear. Participants are bombarded with proof texts and one-sided arguments until they are convinced of the necessity of joining God’s “one and only true remnant” church: Seventh-day Adventism.

Later, after the rush of excitement fades, these new Adventists start asking questions. It is not long before it dawns on many of these new arrivals that all may not be exactly as they had been told. Cracks begin to appear in the once-thought-to-be ironclad presentations of SDA Bible prophecy. They start asking questions, and instead of getting answers, they find that their questions are getting dodged. They soon discover there is a large and growing segment of Adventists who do not believe in Ellen White, or the peculiar SDA views of Bible prophecy. And yet, these are often the very reason the new arrivals joined the SDA Church! It is not long before they discover there are different factions in the SDA Church, each with their own idea of “truth”. As they begin examining the SDA doctrines more closely, they soon discover that there is a BIG difference between Bible Truth and SDA truth. More and more, Adventists are now “studying their way out” of Adventism.”

“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.”


I copied and pasted it from Brewer’s website. I think all you’ll see staring back at you is your own desperation.

Nothing that you posted about the SDA suggested that there were ORDAINED SDA MINISTERS decades ago who did not know EG White’s standing in the SDA.

Seriously, you keep trying this misdirection thing where you post one thing as if it was another. Remember, Brewer was an SDA MINISTER and he made a specific claim. Nothing you posted dealt with that claim nor was it about decades ago.
