Hello. I'm Rottiedog and I'm new. Obviously. I read the post about "you might be an Adventist if..." and I'm either not an Adventist or am a really bad one because I didn't get any of the jokes. There are many terms that are foreign to me. For example, I was invited to attend a women's retreat and everyone was going on and on about how excited they were to have one of the head honchos of 3ABN as a speaker. I nodded and tried to mirror their enthusiasm. But, finally, I said, "what's 3ABN?" Another term I've learned is "haystacks". I always thought these were supposed to be yellowish-looking things that sometimes have needles in them but have learned that they can also involve lettuce and vegan cheese. The other day I accidentally said that enjoyed "Pathfinder Sunday" (oops). If you ask me what I believe I can tell you what but not why (and sometimes not even what).
I'd consider myself an extremely non-traditional Adventist. I like keeping the Sabbath but I'm sure that many would say that I don't really keep it (I just bought my kid a yo-yo as a reward for good behavior and grades in school - - I couldn't quite make it to the store before sundown). I'm a sort-of vegetarian but will eat pork fried rice with my family (picking out the pork) if it means avoiding a war. I have tatoos and ride around with my church's chapter of the Sabbath Keepers Motorcycle Ministry. I'm not so sure I'm into modern-day prophets but consider Ellen White to have been a really insightful writer. As for the state of the dead and annihilationism, well, I guess I could be considered a paneschatist - - it'll all pan out in the end.
So, that's about it. Happy Sabbath to all and to all a good night (sounds like Christmas, eh)?
