Adventists do in fact beleive in a burning hell. The burning hell ends some time in the future and fits in with idea of annilation when the wicked are completely destroyed. Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

He should have known better than to say that. Please look at the following and there are many more hymns not included than these
Before Jehovahs awful throne. Adventist hymn 82 also Anglican hymn
Guide me O Thow great Jehovah. Adventist 538 also Anglican
Holy day Jehovahs rest 654 Adventist only
Sing to the great Jehovah's praise 105 Adventist also Anglican

Jehovah's Witnesses View of Jesus Compared to the Early Church
by cofty inthe following is an extract from something i wrote 16 years ago soon after leaving the watchtower.
i am posting it because it may help honest jws consider how far their beliefs are at odds with new testament christians.
if they have "the truth" then their attitude to jesus ought to reflect that of the apostles.

rattingan350 worship of anything but God is against the ten commandments.
Great job Cofty because when I was confronted by the witnesses about the trinity I had the same feelings in regard without argueing the point the witness doctrine just didn't gel.
There are Adventists that are Arian just as the witnesses are but they do have a more trinitarian touch in their theology. They pray to Jesus praise him and worship him but they beleive he was created at some time in the begining and they don't beleive in the personality of the Holy Gost. They have similar problems to the witnesses in that they worship Jesus, another God, if you like. They also resist the Trinity because they say it is a Catholic heresy. The Arian Adventists also claim the SDA church is an apostate church because of the Trinity doctrine.
The Adventist church accepts pluralism and says in spite of our differences we can all worship together. Barry

100 Years of Disappointment on the Horizon
by mrquik ineven as an elder, i had doubts as to this being "the one true religion".
i personally had chosen 2014 as one of those "make or break" dates.

Christians have been looking for Jesus return for a long time. The problem is that some christians put their lives on hold as a result of his comming and this is a missrepresentation of the second comming

Unemployment is down, but why did America set a record 47.8 million on food stamps?
by moshe inin the usa a new record was set on food stamp enrollments, which seems ironic.
you would think as unemployment drops , food stamp usage would be dropping, too.
maybe those government unemployment numbers are fake numbers.

I just looked it up a single person in Australia that is unemployed is entitled to $492.60 a fortnight as well as $121.00 a fortnight rent assistance . Australia is one of the few countries in the world where a person can stay on welfare indefinitely

We don't have that here in Australia. When a person is unemployed they just get a cheque or money transfered to their bank account so they can buy whatever they want. I think the current rate for an unemployed person is about $250 per week or about $260 American. Of course for a couple it would be double that and a couple with children would be even more . Unemployed here have to look for work or the benefit will be reduced or they can do training for new skills . Barry

He Is Risen, the axial component of christianity
by designs insunday hundreds of millions and possibly up to two billion people will join in some service in observance of the resurrection of jesus.
it is the central issue which takes the teachings of jesus from the philosophy of doing good to others to the ultimate truth which it claims.
it was the axial argument of the apostle paul in 1 cor.
