Adventist?

I was born a Seventh-Day Adventist. I will die one. What that looks like on paper, I don’t know. Outside people used to say we are a cult following a deluded lady called Ellen White. Not at all. Everybody is just living how they want and Ellen White, who gave us the name SDA-is a thing of the past, according to some hard hitting stats that came out last week.

See, I love my church. But I don’t love what we are doing. We USED to be like a cult in that we all used to be modest or get into trouble if we weren’t. But now we are all just doing what want, dressing how we want, eating what we want, and definitely not following Ellen’s writings. We once were banned from watching anything untrue,how that’s all we ever do. Well, you could choose to fill your time with fiction, but with that choice,came the choice to no longer be an Adventist. Now those who don’t read or watch fiction are the outliers. Those who read the Bible and EGW writings are a dying breed. And of course, just because someone is reading doesn’t mean they take to heart what they’ve read.

This church will never again be viewed as a cult. Which is sad, for Christ was one of the greatest Sabbath-keeping cult leaders ever. I wanted to be known for being different and rebellious with my fellow cult members. I wanted us to be one, as Christ prayed. I want us to share everything like the disciples did. To help those who need help and be united with one goal-purity.

All I can do is press together with those who love the Word and love God and love His people. One day, we will indeed all be dressed alike in our white robes and crowns. The best ‘cult’ ever.
