Well done! If SDA, or anyone else chases positive press you can get it but our "values" will always become clear in the end. Reminds me of what Jesus said, "They already have their reward..." Thanks for the chuckle to start the day. Paul Cross |

I am smiling and laughing as I type. If I did not I would want to cry. The "we live our values" sounds typical. Diana L (Message edited by Flyinglady on March 02, 2011) |

Me too, Cloudwatcher...somebody who knows things; the references to particular motives and events suggests someone who knows, for sure... (Message edited by Colleentinker on March 02, 2011) |

Wow--inside information! This brings up the Loma Linda billboards that are all along the freeway on the way to Kaiser. They are to encourage women to fight breast cancer. I didn't pay much attention to them until I saw about 5 of them...then it sunk in: THIS is the message behind adventism. The boards all proclaim: "Empower Yourself!" |

Well, we certainly know what their 'values' are and how they live down to them. |

Nowisee, I had not actually noticed that! I've seen the phrase on the billboards, but I did not stop to think about it. You are absolutely right! Empower Yourself! That describes their entire health message (and their supposed ability to enhance their perception of the Holy Spirit). It describes their just-below-the-surface continual striving to manage and follow the money. It describes the subtle but powerful internal "caste system" with MD at the top of the cast structure and MDiv somewhere just below the top...It explains their hospital systems and school systems... Wow. (Message edited by Colleentinker on March 05, 2011) |
