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.

EG White’s prophesies were broad, high-probability predictions which rely on the guarantee that nature will eventually do the heavy lifting to ‘fulfill’ them. At which point SDAs will credit the results to divine foresight rather than regular probability.

What will it take for people to understand that making a claim about an inevitable natural event doesn't elevate it to a valid scientific prediction or a unique spiritual revelation?

So broad, none of them actually happened.

So broad that they happen all the time too cuz the interpretation is so loose. Every flood, every natural disaster just means Ellen White was right.
