You went to academy, not high school. A Pathfinder was a person, not a car. You felt the need to witness to the Christian who mowed his lawn on Sabbath. You think you witnessed to someone if you said you went to church on Saturday. You went to a school that didn't allow meat. Any more? | ||

Twice a week you knew the exact astronomical minute the sun went down, even if it was still light outside. | ||

OH ROOK! I HATE THAT GAME!!! All the resentful Saturday nights I sat there while the family "wasn't playing cards". Does anyone here know what "pronto pups" are? | ||
| Violet Registered user Username: Violet Post Number: 481 Registered: 2-2001 |
No, what are pronto pups? Some of the things I think back and just shake my head. The sad thing is that little old ladies like my grandma really thought they were doing the right thing. They loved their kids and grandkids and wanted them to go to heaven and when we played cards in the living room floor she just wrang her hands. I feel so sad for her and so angry at an orginzation that would do that to little old ladies. | ||

Pronto pups are corn dogs, only they're made with Loma Linda Linkettes. Seriously, that's the ONLY way I'll eat Linkettes. Give me Oscar Meyer!! | ||

Yep, I know pronto pups! And Hebrew Nationals are SO MUCH better (even Richard agrees!). OH, and you know you might be Adventist if all your "secular" books and music go out of site from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. (Did you ever wonder why, if "secular" art in the form of books and music were not allowed on Sabbath, no one ever took down the pictures from their walls during the holy hours?) Colleen | ||

. . . you know whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable, and why it is assumed to matter. . . . you ever debated whether using a can-opener constitutes 'work'. . . . you know how different cheeses are made and why your favorite is edible, while the rest should 'never enter the stomach.' . . . you're a girl with early memories of wearing a dress over pants and thinking that was normal. | ||

Oh, Maryóyou've hit on some pretty funny internal subtleties that are just making me laugh! All of the contributions above are wonderful! (Love that "big brooch vs. wedding ring" one, Dawn!) Colleen | ||

...you have used the term "Sunday Law" with a straight face (and often scared face!) ...you know all the wild, edible plants in your area ...you went ingathering instead of trick-or-treating ...with a blind taste test you can distinguish between worthington brand foods and loma linda brand foods ...the word "prophet" conjured up a picture of a creepy looking woman that you never thought was creepy looking until you realized how creepy she really was! ...you never thought someone could be led by the Holy Spirit OUT of Adventism, only INTO Adventism!  | ||

... Hearing parents compare notes on the book "Creeping Compromise", and being horrified at the conclusions they were coming up with, like the kinds of clothes were had to ware, etc.. ...your parents would never take you to a movie unless is was John Huss burning at the state or "The Late Great Planet Earth" ...your Sabbath visits consisted of the adults going over the most recent "signs of the times", covering all US and Catholic collaborations and ogling over "Keys to This Blood". ...Thinking your family were the balanced ones because they didn't make you swim in a dress with pants under them. ...moved to escape the "bad influences" of those "liberal" Adventists, only to be surrounded by fanatical waco's who made us look like evangelicals! ...thinking evangelicals were real apostates!

...When you are surprised to find out that "Inca" is an pre-columbian South American civilization and not just your favorite hot beverage. ...you think everyboby knows what Postum is. ... you are surprised to find out that "Roma" is a variety of tomato as well as a hot drink. ...you looked forward to having your "Tender Bits" fried in a coating of brewer's yeast!... Try explaining that to your coworkers or friends! | ||
| Snowboardingmom Registered user Username: Snowboardingmom Post Number: 162 Registered: 11-2005 |
Randyg -- that tender bits fried in a coating of brewer's yeast made me laugh so hard! We often had brewer's yeast on popcorn (on Saturday night, of course) while playing an exciting game of Rook or Pit!! Honestwitness -- I catch myself with that "Happy Sabb--" ALL THE TIME!! Adventism is definitely a unique culture. |
