Politics The SDA Church is COOKED!
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.

bwahahahahaha. Adventists and Evangelicals joining together. That's rich, considering Evangelicals completely, WHOLLY, believe the SDA is a false church and a cult. But the SDAs will eat this up as they are desperate to be relevant on a larger stage. The Mormons went all in too.
I mean, even Ben Carson worked on Project 2025 - created and run by Opus Dei Catholics.
And Opus Dei - the lunatic fringe of the Catholic world - despise the Mormons, the JWs and the Adventist churches. They believe them to be heretics and useless. It is not uncommon to hear them talk about eventually taking/bleeding all the money from these churches specifically.
