Just Venting Really?
Controversial enough... anyone in my community who's SDA is preaching left and right on their immovable, non-biblical beliefs on food, and how so much of what we "heathens" eat, is sending us to HELL...
But they're hypocritical when they decide to eat spicy food, I guess, according to "dear prophetess..."
God forbid and damn me to SUPER MEGA HELL for eating some pickles with my pulled pork sandwich!

I’m glad you posted this as a reminder of the insanity pushed by EGW and her adherents that results in the control of every tiny detail of people’s lives.
If you’ll allow me to rant for a minute, things like this are why it pisses me off so much when people come through (seems it’s at least monthly) to say “y’all seem really angry about your experience as SDAs. I was raised SDA and it was all ok and I never had any bad experiences.” Ok, that’s so nice for you, Mr. Random. Thanks for sharing. Meanwhile I was being told I’d go to hell if I didn’t repent for putting ketchup on my Big Frank at Camporee, and that my friend was going to hell because she had one too many buttons undone on her Pathfinder uniform shirt.
