I know we had a long thread about this topic, but I just have to express my gratitude to all you wonderful people. I downloaded the sound files of the conference from www.sdaoutreach.com and burned them to 3 CDs. I keep listening to them over and over and over and over, whenever I drive in my car. I just keep getting more blessings each time I listen. I especially like the panel discussion and Q/A session with Mark, Dale and Greg. I love to listen to the very intelligent questions that the participants asked and then hear the excellent responses by these three gentlemen. I so wish I had had something like this earlier in my stint as an Adventist. I believe it would not have lasted the sixteen years it did last. I believe this information would have given me more backbone to go ahead and leave and get on with my spiritual life. Patria, I have also been especially touched by your testimony. You have no idea how much it has meant to me to listen to you pour out your heart and share your most intimate thoughts. Thanks, also, to all the participants on this forum for your wonderful spirit of kindness to me and to each other. I truly see the maturity of the body of Christ in these discussions. I'm happier now than I have been for a very long time, because I'm focusing on Jesus now, instead of wincing at peculiar doctrines.

Dear Honestwitness, Thank you for sharing YOUR thoughts and reactions so openly. I'm so grateful that the files are helpful to you. I am in awe of how God orchestrated the weekend and also of how He is present on this forum. I know God is omnipresent, but it has been a startling jolt to internalize that He is actually IN cyberspace as well. It's not surprising, just a different way to think. He is awesome (thanks for the phrase, Diana!). Colleen |

Hey, HW! You meant www.sdaoutreach.NET, right? Not .com? The latter is a pro-SDA site; I feel a little slimed, having read it awhile. Then I caught on, and went to sdaoutreach.net, and found the conference MP3s. Downloading right now. Thanks for the pointer! - Hoytster |

LOL! Glad you got it straightened out Hoyster! Honestwitness, Thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. I can especially identify with your statement, "I'm happier now than I have been for a very long time, because I'm focusing on Jesus now, instead of wincing at peculiar doctrines." I join you in this. What joy! Blessings, Mary |
