57divining rods work
by zerubberballz init's a funny ol' world.
a month ago i was mucking about with some thick fencing wire and i suddenly got the idea to bend a couple of pieces into a set of divining rods like i've seen old nutters doing on tv.
so i cut two sections of wire about 2' long and bent the ends 4" at 90 degrees to form old fashioned diving rods (twitching sticks are made of yew or hickory or something .. don't know what, if anything aboriginies used).

A story
by Tammie ini am not trying to push my religious ideas on any person in here.
some of you belive in the rapture, and others don't.
this is just a story, some will say yes it will happen this way, and others will say this is just a fictious story.

Tammie,
Your been reading Hal Linsey, and the problem is not too many scolars would agree with him, why not just beleive in the second comming without all this rapture stuff. Refferences in the bible are numerous on the second comming.

Dear Judith,
Within Adventism there is two distinct groups one is Traditional Adventism the other Evangelical Adventism and my convictions are with Evangelical Adventism the main doctrine within this group is the acceptance of the reformation doctrine of 'Righteousness by faith'. Other differences between the groupes exist too. If you were to look at Adventism im sure they would make you welcome and I would recommend a gosple orented church. 'Good News Unlimited' could do this for you. Traditional Adventism is more cultic and i wouldnt recommend them. In Adventism you wont have the problems you would have in the JWs Shunning or problems with going to other churches or problems if you dought something and the type of horror stories you see on this board. But take your time meet with the Adventists an eg on Saturday lesson study you might feel comfortable with them and you are free to ask any questions in the lesson study. They have classes for all age groups at this time. Also before you decide on anything go to other denominations and chech them out, you said you were once a baptist when you were younger I know some good Baptist people and they have a bible study too.
Ill be praying for you Barry -

Dear Judith,
I was invited to attend the memorial by a JW friend who was doing bricklaying for my father and I asked the Adventist Minister to come with me I didnt think he would but he decided to in the end. Later I moved to Canberra and I studied with the witnesses and attended the meetings but I dont attend anymore.

Being a current member of the Seventh day Adventist Church I may be able to answer some of the questions brought up here. i also studied with the witnesses for a while.
Judith Adventists beleive the second comming of christ is close but havent made a date for it. William Miller did make a date 1844 when nothing happened the date was reinterpreted to be another event 'the investigative judgement' this doctrine is still held by the Adventist Church but is rejected by the evangelical groups within the church.
Wannahelp shunning is not practiced among Adventists and would be considered an unchristian practice. There is no restriction on reading apostate literature or going to other churches or the kindom hall. I went to the memorial and asked my minister to come with me and he was happy to come.
The church is divided between traditionals who retain some of the distinctive Adventist doctrines and the Evangelicals who reject the 1844 type unscriptuall positions.
Adventists do have some similarities with the witnesses baptism by immersion, soul sleep, pre millienism, some are Arian but the vast majority are trinitiarian
Holy communion is practiced approximately 3mthly and is open to all beleivers regardless of denomination and is preceeded by footwashing as in Matthew when Jesus washed the desciples feet. So the moral is go with clean feeet on that day.

You say,done a lot of research over the past x years into churches that hold to a 'truth' and shunning is a format in many of them. Adventists sci fi cults,all the same. Its ties to the control of information,the channel of truth not wanting any access into the members minds by any other source,especially dangerous ones that know too much.
Mate Im an Adventist and Ive never known about shunning until I studied with the witnesses also the variety of beleife in the Adventist Church from Traditional who beleive the unique Adventist doctrines to the evangelical who reject traditional doctrines and are not much different to evangelical Christians to the Adventists who reject the trinity and beleive the Arian view the same as the witnesses would indicate to me your statement is not entirely correct. The reason I go their is they have excellent classes for my two boys with other kids there own age Im of the evangelical type and in the bible study i can as others do question doctrines of the church as a normal part of the study of the scriptures. There have allways been visible conflicting groups within Adventism.
