What did you think about the whole Camp meeting/ Kamp meeting thing? I thought they were a little boring. I didn't associate with alot of Adventists outside of Saturday attendance at church. Brandi…Continue

Conversion to SDAism as an adult?

Started by matthew west. Last reply by Debra Stevenson on Saturday. 6 Replies 0 Likes

Most of the people here seem to have been raised SDAs, and thus to have had no choice in the matter. I converted in my 20s. Is there anyone else here who converted at about that age or even later in…Continue

Do you think EGW was mentally-ill?

I think Ellen G. White had good intentions and believed in probably some of what she said but I also think that she probably had a mental disorder. I mean, the woman got whacked in the head with a…Continue

What I knew about the SDA's as a kid raised in the JW's

Started by Debra Stevenson Jun 9. 0 Replies 0 Likes

When I was in the SDA church, I really didn't try to proselytize too much. So many people don't know about Adventism. I mean as I said I was raised in the Jehovah's Witnesses until the age of 22 by…Continue

Comment by Dustin Williams on January 20, 2012 at 8:32pm: Welcome anyway, that is just so long as you don't give us any flack for our Vegilinks vs. Big Franks debate :)

Comment by Loren Miller on January 20, 2012 at 7:57pm: To be candid, I am not a former Seventh-Day Adventist, but Dorris posted a note here that I was interested in responding to so...!

Comment by Dustin Williams on September 11, 2011 at 9:02pm: You can always wait for tomorrow, but once it's done there's no taking it back. If you have any doubt about the timing, you should put it off. The time will come when you will either have nothing to lose or the potential loss would be greatly outweighed by the gain.

If you do go through with the sermon I would be happy to look over any notes you have. As a warning though I will be leaving for Yellowstone on Thursday and will have little connectivity throughout the weekend.

Comment by Ben Roth on September 11, 2011 at 11:26am: Dustin's advice was much more sane than mine. I don't think the situation has changed much although, if you're still in school, a laptop is a big deal financially. If you think there's a significant chance that you'll face problems financially because of family removing their support, I'd recommend not coming out until you're supporting yourself. Not sure what "writing examinations" means exactly where you're from, but if that's graduating from the last of school, you'll be out on your own shortly afterwards. Be safe.

Comment by Jabu M on September 11, 2011 at 6:42am: Chickened out :( ...well, not exactly. Two things happened: I discovered early yesterday morning that one of the elders had chosen to swap sermon slots with me, so I've been rescheduled for next sabbath. Later in the day I was so tired from staying up late preparing for the sermon that I just didn't have the energy for a confrontation. I'm still trying to figure out if I should tell everyone as early as possible or wait, do the sermon (which I think would go a long way towards softening the blow) and then tell them afterwards, or if I should even come out at all. I have some..."investments" to think about - an allowance I don't want taken away for not tithing (though I don't do that even now - one of the first resolutions I made after losing the faith was never to give money to any religious organisation again) and a new laptop that was promised me I don't want to e denied out of fear I would "misuse" it...
