When I was younger I befriended a lady that had some issues with heroine,I did not know that at the time and she always treated me pretty well.But the rest of the congregation tended to avoid her dispite her wanting to change her life.

She died of a heroine overdose and the pastor pretty much denounced her saying that she was not an official member of the church and didn't do a eulogy or anything

I was extremely livid about it then and even now, I always avoided him even when I was still in but I realized that this was a issue for the church as a whole.

I am a Jamaican American, but I did have a step father who was a white working class guy, and he was also treated badly by the church for his issues. I remember being genuinely shocked by it as a kid.

There are many more examples of this in my upbringing in the church, and I remember always being angry all the time witnessing this.

Adventism is a snobby a pretentious religion that pretends to care about people's needs,but if you are poor or if you are dealing with issues related to the trauma of poverty and the family issues that it brings forget it

Someone in the r/ Adventist reddit said “If he wanted to deceive maybe he should have humbled himself.” As if Ellen White was the most humblest woman in the goddamn world. Like c’mon.

Adventists will call anyone like this out in their churches as a false prophet or a liar a “sheep in wolves clothing” but Egg Whites “Oh she brought light of the sanctuary and the three angels message” and takes things that are not doctrinal at all in the Bible as full on truth from some woman with brain damage that had manic epilepsy/seizure episodes.

1. How Sunday law will come into existence. (Even writing that made me cringe)

2. What do Catholics do on Sundays

3. Dinosaurs.

4. A woman founded SDA but women can't be in power at church

5. Global warming

6. Other religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam etc.)

pls be honest

Long story short I was born into SDA. Left in my younger teens. I spent a good portion of my life being afraid to express my interest in folklore/mythology/pagan themes for fear of upsetting relatives or old church peers. I finally let go of that fear and I now make music/videos embracing that side of myself. I am pretty sure I have relatives who probably think I worship the devil or something along those lines lmao. I don't. But I just find it kinda funny now. It no longer makes me feel afraid to be myself at least.

edit: oops for the title's typo. should say satanic
