    She clearly had a neutral tone about what she said, neither agreeing or disagreeing with it.

    Yep I know that tone of voice, I was very well practiced in it!!

    Maybe then can only have Debit Cards? How else could you book an airline flight in advance, rent a car, hotel room, etc. etc. etc.???

    Not allowed to use credit cards, except to donate to the church? That sounds like the worst use for a credit card I can think of.

    First, these days you do have to be careful about going into debt. However, at times it becomes a necessity. Not just a "practical necessity", a bare necessity. Our whole currency system is based on debt--to the Rothschilds, and will eventually result in our mass enslavement. Do they mandate use of barter, or use gold and silver (or currency based entirely on gold and silver, or at least government-issued fiat currency that does not go through some central bank)? I don't think so. And currency debt, which everyone carries, is worse than credit card debt.

    Additional debt includes student loan debt. This is worse than credit card debt, partly because bankruptcy doesn't discharge it. Also, people are likely to have mortgage-sized debts on student loans. Credit card debt is usually around car-loan sized or smaller. Do they ban student loans?

    Do SDA have more rules than JWs? Their Sabbath day being Saturday is important to them; dietary things like: no smoking, no drinking alcohol, no caffeine, no meats, vegetarian stressed.

    Somewhat strict about wearing jewelry. Is their tithing 10%? They are very strict about dancing, don't know to what degree.

    What else?

    ok this is a first to me. But whenever I hear, "We are not allowed......." I just think cult. Sounds like a local church is going to far

    Well, if they don't allow credit cards, with the exception of church contributions, they make up for it in allowing you to wish someone, a happy new years. That sounds fair, doesn't it?

    Maybe you are supposed to use a prepaid credit card?
