  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Thousands and thousands of babies being murdered every year, but boy, you better stay away from that milk. That's a critical issue facing us today for sure.
Is that why you spend so much time and effort on the Internet fighting against traditional SDA's and EGW? Because you are concerned about "Thousands and thousands of babies being murdered every year"? Log off and go save a few babies. Wouldn't THAT be PROGRESSIVE?

You tire me with your blather. I would just tell you to get lost, but I'm feeling a little generous today.

First, my 'time' on this forum amounts to about an hour per week. Probably considerably LESS time than most here do. As for 'effort', you Trads give yourself FAR too much credit. It is no effort whatsoever to demolish some of your nonsense. As long as you people fight against reform in the church, Adventists like me will continue to fight for it. Deal with it.

And yeah, I consider the future of the church I am a member of and fighting against the ruin people like you are bringing it to to be of the utmost importance and a high priority. Certainly more important than who is and who isn't drinking milk.

Second, I do not 'fight' against EGW personally. I fight against some of the wrong permises and false statements she has made. Big difference.

Third, how do you know I have not taken part in protests against abortion clinics in my community? How do you know I have not petitioned city council and the Canadian government for laws against the practice?

You don't, period. You just assume, and we all know what assuming does.

BTW, yes I have done both many times, I and will continue the fight against this procedure until my last breath.

So, there goes your false charges, shot down in flames.

Have a nice day. :wave:

I wish I could join you in your laughter Pythons, but unfortunately we Progressive SDA's have to deal with this sort of absurd nonsense on a daily basis from Traditional Adventism. This is only a sample. It can get worse, believe me.

And yes, they are serious about the whole lot of it. :sigh:

Thousands and thousands of babies being murdered every year, but boy, you better stay away from that milk. That's a critical issue facing us today for sure.

Just........amazing.

I would think the outer-space travel thing would be what would get the attention of people, more then anything else Ellen White said.

On a serious note however, my Dad had a massive heart attack and nearly didn't make it through it. My Dad asked me to go with him to his 1st cardiologist visit and I atcually heard the Doctor ask him if he would like to "take up cigarette smoking".

I unfortunately am a smoker so I paid close attention to what this doctor was saying. He told my Dad that everytime he wanted a milkshake he should instead eat a porterhouse steak and lobster tail smothered in butter and follow it up with a couple cigarettes because that would be better for his heart then drinking milkshakes.

My Dad drank a milkshake "every single day of summer" since I could remember. My Mom would make him a big one and just give him the whole blender container and he would go out, hop onto the tractor and get to work. Prior to the heart attack my Dad = slender and rock solid (could bend a 16 penny nail inbetween his fingers). I only drink about 5 shakes per year now. Given what happened to my Dad with him being a non-smoker and moderiate drinker when both my Grandfathers hit the booze hard with one living to 86 and the other to 98 both using tobacco I'm convinced Milkshakes are bad for ya.

I'm thinking saying milk is bad for you is total bunk but I know milkshakes are...

Ummm.. . I guess it is safer to take manufactured calcium supplements than to get it from organic milk or cheeses or yogurt? As a female, calcium is very important to my health. Many of these studies are done on men and do not take into account women give birth and breast feed increasing their need from calcium beyond that which is easily obtained from veggies. One size doesn't fit all!

Hi,

If you are concerned about calcium and in your case you should be, you shouldn't drink milk. Milk is acidic. It leeches calcium from your bones.

You should look into getting calcium from veggies.

Some veggies are high in calcium: cabbage, chicory greens, parsley, mustard spinach, artichoke ...

For those who deliberately ignored it the first time and think he scored against me:

Third, how do you know I have not taken part in protests against abortion clinics in my community? How do you know I have not petitioned city council and the Canadian government for laws against the practice?

You don't, period. You just assume, and we all know what assuming does.

BTW, yes I have done both many times, I and will continue the fight against this procedure until my last breath.

So, there goes your false charges, shot down in flames.

EGW's charge was false. Period. I do not post here at the expense of neglecting the abortion issue.

So you can all stop incorrectly assuming things about me any time.

And you are all accomplices to his false charges if you agree with him.

Goodbye, NightEternal. You won't be seing "EGW" or "GoodnightEternal" again, as the disciples didn't see the fleshly Jesus after His ascension.
But...you have a neighbor who has a spouse.

Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father...he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you....You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.'...

I know that acidic foods get a bad rap, but they are actually o.k. Studies show that you can actually benifit from eating more acidic foods to help regulate your blood pH. For the acid to leach calicium from your bones, your blood pH would be incompatable with life. Veggies do have calcium, but as a female, it is recommended if you are on a vegan diet you take a supplement. If I am trying to be natural and healthy, I can't see taking a chemical supplement for something that is biblically clean for me to eat. But that is my own personal opinion. You have to do what you feel is best for your own body.
