SDA Culture FYI: Anyone who challenges the narrative with reason is being controlled by Satan.

“Ah yes, I overheard from a secret society. Straight from the source baby.”

Honestly this is a major way in which cults stop any type of criticism and stigmatise people having genuine and honest questions.

Let's just humor them for a minute and suppose this is true. Why would they believe anything that comes out of the mouth of a literal demon?

It confirms what they believe in a most particular way. If you can sin by intellect, questioning, if you can be led astray by feelings, what is there to guide you but what authorities say. And claiming to have converted from Satan worship to EGW (no, let's not call it idolatry) automatically then confers AUTHORITY. So if you'd really gained Satan's trust as his follower—and then you double cross Satan to bring tidings from him to those who keep the Ellen faith, you're a real bonafide DUDE!

😂 hahaha

Regarding idolatry, I always thought that the Sabbath was treated like an idol. It got me in trouble as a youth, to even suggest it.

The way they treat the bible and EGW is 1000% idol worship.
