When are we going to realize how dumb it is to still have two groups for Seventh-day Adventists in a site that is not even hosted by the SDA church?

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.

Hi to all here !
You'll have to fill me in. As I'm new what does two groups mean? In Adventism you're always going to have those who aren't under the conference, etc but that's the same in every denomination around the world ! People are the same everywhere. Ok cheers !!

The SDA denomination itself has their own sub-groups. I mean, they have Hispanic groups and such, which in itself is wrong in my opinion. I don't think it shows real unity at all.

Where I'm from here in Australia there's a Spanish church family down the road from us. I feel for the older members as their English is limited. Unfortunately some cultures, unlike my own are very strong in keeping to their spoken language. I know that as the younger generations are coming through those 'sub' groups will be less likely.

Completely agree. I glance on here from time to time to see if this nonsense is over, but I guess not. Not a good witness at all.

So you feel that everyone has to speak the same language? Your language? SDAs are a worldwide movement.

If I started out with your church, for e.g., then decided that I didn't agree with something within the church family for whatever reason and I moved out to go somewhere else, that's darkness?
My understanding is that Jesus is graceful firstly and as long as I'm not breaking the commandments you'll find that it's not darkness but mere difference of understanding that sees a divide. Just my opinion. Though I should imagine that an effort be put forward to try and sort any issue out, lovingly.
