Youre quite right Alanf SDAs have been traditionally of the YEC view but with the SDA view of higher learning there is allways the possibility of some dissagreements. And I can still hear my elder Dads voice ringing in my ears ' The earth is only 6 thousand years old everytime something came on the telly.'
These meetings are not like the inquisition. From the conference 14th August 2003.
At 8am we retreated to the chapel for morning worship, which was lead by John Brunt, the pastor of the Azure Church, in Grand Terrace, California. He set a wonderful tone for the meetings by using Paul;s experiences from Romans 14 and 15 in defining christian community.
Brunt outlined that what is really important when bringing people with different ideas together is not to judge or look down on each other. It is legitimate for honest seekers to have different perspectives on the same issues. However we are in danger of crossing a line when we assign bad motives to the people with whom we disagree. All of us see through a glass darkly. This should give us all a degree of humility and openmindedness. God's genius may be in giving us the gift of the opposite.
Or in other words we are having problems at our learning institutions can somebody please help. Barry

How do you cure hiccups?
by JH inhick..............................................hick...........

I had hiccups for three days on about four separate occasions and the only way I cured it was go to the doctor and get a prescription for some little red pills. They give these red pills to mental patients and it was found they would fix hiccups too. Youre doctor will know about them I cant think of the name off hand. Barry

Being the only Adventist here I beleive Refiner has the best grasp on Adventist beleif. The 1844 event to Adventists is the great dissappointement When they beleived jesus would come no SDAs beleive anything of an invisible comming in 1874 this was a splinter group.
The SDAs have reinterpreted the 1844 event as being the beginning of the investigative judgement where the books of record are examined to determine who will be saved.
All adventists now beleive the second comming is in the future and a visible event.
The investigative judgement in 1844 is seen as the antitype of the day of atonement in the jewish system.
Today only the very conservative SDAs beleive in the investigative judgement as it was originally taught no SDA theologan will put his name to such an idea. The mainstream members while giveing lip service to the doctrine understand it in a far more gospel way because most beleive when a person becomes a christian he passes from death to life.
While I go to a mainstream church I support 'Good News Unlimited a splinter group of Adventists who have left such doctrine as an investigative behind in the dustbin of failed doctrine.
In fact there are many such splinter groups in adventism But much of the conflict between differing groups is now in the past. Barry

They might do you some good Refiner go there and tell us what happens. Most Baptists have a bible study before the church service where you can make a contribution to the study. I dunno about the exclusive ones though. Barry

she has 5 issues in particular about which she feels very strongly (not necessarily in this order):.

The Watchtower 1st September says "Learn to answer in youre own words'
by barry infair dinkum thats what it says.
i realise that when i went to meetings it was done by some people but was frowned on but now here it is on page 21 "our publications need not be quoted verbatim.
jehovahs witnesses do not simply repeat what their publications say.

Some people get their words mixed up and their thoughts confused surely you cant blame a person for weaknesses of the flesh. Barry
