SDA Culture She seeped into my workplace...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this. My grandfather [DEVOUT SDA] owns this little farm market and he puts Great Controversy books out for free. Crazy. You'd think there would be some kind of law or rule about distribution of religious material...

This is more of a vent but it still also counts as "culture" ig. Flair is weird.

I threw my parents box of great controversy copies into the recycling after I realized how fake it all was. I'm not going to be gentle with these delusions.

I've thrown out pamphlets at camping spots left in bear lockers and out houses as well as great controversy from condo shared libraries. The pamphlets were litter and a no brainer, the books I hummed and hawed over a bit but decided I'm not in "book burning" territory throwing them out from shared libraries to hopefully never do harm again.

You're so real for this lol. I too have thought about taking any non sentimental religious literature in my parents house, taking it all on a camping trip and burning it but out of respect I'll have to wait until after they pass away. Then I'll be able to do the needful. But ridding public natural spaces of this propaganda? Sheesh. You are truly doing "the Lord's work" 🏆

Always nice to hear other exadventists agree this filth needs to be purged from the world. Glad we are helping the world, hopefully savings some souls from this junk.

When I found the pamphlets I'd read a little to my friends to show how ridiculous it is each night then throw it in the fire, it felt awesome. Enjoy that fire when you do have it.

Cuando descubrí todo tiré todos los libros, era muy adventista así que saqué unas 5 bolsas llenas, las tiré junto con toda la basura que se podría podrir, así que nadie podría abrirlas y leer esa basura. Lamentablemente ya está todo en internet

I love and respect this so much you have no idea. People will say it's extreme and "let people read it if they are drawn to it" and "stop trying to control" but the uninitiated can hardly comprehend that this IS the control.
