• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I would like to know what you think about law enforcement or national security or health care workers (doctors, nurses ect.) working on the Sabbath days (and do the SDAs have an official doctrine on this?)

Thank you

As for official, I am not sure of anything voted at the GC which would make it official. But some others might know.

We have a number of health care facilities and doctors and nurses and critical staff do in fact work on Sabbath.

As to law enforcement I have not seen anything official either.

EDIT:

Here is a set of guidelines from the Adventist.org website. It is not listed as official, but I am sure at least some Adventists would concur with it. The bottom part tells about the history of the document. Apparntly the Executive Committe Reviewed it , etc.
