As I am still new here.....

I am utterly amazed at the amount of conflict and chaos amongst HIS "chosen".....

I will always acertain, IF I was not already and sda... NOW would NOT be the time for me to decide to become one.....

The more I read threads in here the more I wonder.....

What type of Creator would willingly create such utterly disgusting set of folk?

To split or not to split......
To divede and conquer or not to divide and conquer.....
To name call or not to name call......
To send to hell or not to send to hell....
To judge or not to judge......
To form alliances or not to form alliances....
To form cliques or not form cliques....
To join ciques or not to join cliques.....

It is enough to make one truly sick.....
The amount of bashing, back and forth and outright uglyness......

When I first came here, I was a bit taken back......

There were a HANDFUL that made me think it is JUST a phase....

I come back every now and then LOOKING SEARCHING for something to hang on to.........

The more things change, the more they stay the same.....

The more one is churned in the stomach....

It is absolutely amazing.....

And NOW folk actually believe that to separate the holier from the not worthy IS HIS command and or actually pleasing IN HIS SIGHT....

HE is made a liar..... "that they may be one as you and I are one......" "but take them not out of this world but keep them from the evil in it"....

I wonder how many actually preserve a thing WITHOUT actually putting salt ON and or IN it......

I am not sure what I am doing here.....

Senti, you are soo correct.... IS there a place for "ME" here?

~Truly disturbed~

I suspect that some say they are SDA when they really are not. They are only here to cause division and dissention. IMHO

[/FONT] This morning I received thrilling news: a joke I wrote more than 20 years ago has been voted the funniest religious joke of all time! In case you've missed it, here it is:

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?"

He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said, "Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?" He said, "Northern Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?"

He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist." I said, "Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region." I said, "Me, too!"

Northern Conservative†Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?" He said, "Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912." I said, "Die, heretic!" And I pushed him over.

You haven't been here long enough to understand why we feel this way. Therefore, I don't think your comment has any merit.

Also, don't refer to the people of this forum as being "disgusting set of folk" again!

Just because we don't agree with you, that doesn't make us "disgusting set of folk". Do that again and you will be reported.

Hmm, brand new person see's the nonsense around here and you treat her like that?!? Care to quess who did get reported?

Remember how EGW said not one in twenty is ready? This is the 19.

Well, at least he was informed first!

My cousin tells how he applied for a teaching position as was rejected because he was "too liberal." Decades later he applied again at the same place and was rejected again, but this time, it was because he was "too conservative"!
