My top one is

"But where else will I go"

Also

"don't run ahead of Jehovahs organization"

"Well, that is a conscience matter."

Yeah, unless the elders want to get rid of someone.

Everything happens for a reason.

S/he (a deceased person) is in a better place.

Well, that's not Biblical/what the Bible says.

Good one. It's not like you can openly investigate the answers to that question especially if you're a born-in. You go tell your Service Group Overseer that you're curious about the Adventist's teaching and want to attend a few of their meetings and see how long until they're reading your name off the platform during the midweek meeting.

sherah

"That has not been my experience"

"That never happened in my congregation"

"Those pedophile elders are the exception and not the norm"
