George "Ignoramus" Jempty,
I have a good friend who is a christain mystic. I was one also for a period
of time myself untill, well actually it was my introduction to the moq and
carlos castaneda which changed that path away from chritianity. Not that
they conflict, or that i chose one over the other, but i chose neither and
both. There is Quality in chritianity (although i've met alot of chritians
who seem to be confused about it, the chritians who use chritianity to hate,
discriminate and place themselves above other s as the true believers and
such).
My parents were seveth day adventists by birth. they quit, they thought it
was silly. I dont know a terrible ammount about it, or what about it you
find attractive. As i understand it, the originator, or atleast the most
prominant "thinker" of 7th adventism was an illiterate woman who somehow
wrote several books, and was then to have found out to be a severe
plagerizer. regardless, her stolen words may still have been true. Also, i
get lots of jokes about climbing trees to get closer to jesus (but he never
came).
sorry if im being offensive, im sure your personal ideas are a Good and
True, but the organization itself is, well, sorry, but rather silly. My
mother wasnt allowed to learn about evolution as a biology major because she
went to a seventh day adventist college, and my cousin who goes there now
said she had to sign a waiver to learn about it.
best of luck,
elliot
