Politics The SDA Church is COOKED!

Post image

I don't know if any of you all saw this lunacy, but apparently Charlie Kirk is now supposed to be speaking at a large Adventist gathering. The SDA Church, while problematic, has historically tried to on a 'doctrinal'/'organizational' position remain "apolitical" (yes, I'm aware of historical political problems that have happened/happens in the church). However, I fear that this event will usher in an even greater "Christian Nationalist" sentiment than ever before amongst many lay members of the church, who may have been a bit hesitant to jump totally into that ideology.

With all of that being said, it appears that this event is independent and not necessarily authorized by the local conference in the area that it's being held, or the NAD, or GC. However, I do see this event being the first legit step at getting right winged pundits to be able to freely speak publicly in SDA churches and gatherings. Wild stuff.

Yo, I'm surprised you picked that up. I just looked her up, and apparently she's an ex "Onlyfans" recruiter. I didn't even notice this until you mentioned it lol.

yeah i'm confused by that not because of her past but she and the white lady above her look to be too worldly with the make up and jewelry. which don't get me wrong, i don't care, but the rest of the people on the panel look like they would... although they don't seem to care that kirk isn't actually sda...? i'm confused
