I made a post on a social media, which was my opinion, that Israel and friends need to liberate Gazians from Hamas just as the Allies and Russia liberated Germans from Nazis. I still believe that. I do not expect everyone else to. If you befriend a Gasian so they will trust you, most would say the same thing. They are aware that Hamas has paid informants who try to abstract that from Gazians and then remove their remaining family from being alive. They may never trust you enough; they all have heard stories, fictional or not, of such. Back to the topic, many long-term friends blocked me over that. I suspect most of them were left-leaning, but I could be wrong. Has anyone else had that kind of experience? Stan

They told their clergy to ensure the will is up to date, as they may end up giving their lives for their neighbours. https://www.npr.org/2026/01/18/nx-s1-5678579/ice-clashes-new-hampshire-bishop-urges-clergy-prepare-wills#:~:text=Bishop Rob Hirschfeld in the,Hirschfeld's comments quickly went viral.

But two years later, on July 4, at the 2025 GC Session in St. Louis, Missouri, out of the almost 2,000 session delegates who had just heard Wilson’s official “President’s Report”—a telling of everything the church accomplished under his 15-year-long leadership—only 188 of the floor delegates voted for him. The vast majority clearly decided that the church can, in fact, survive without him. Wilson was not reelected president, and Erton Köhler succeeded him with over 90 percent approval. In the first 6 months, it appears he is doing what he said he would. More focus on humanitarian efforts and programs. He appears to be reduced intensity. So far he is doing a great job.

What kind of person would be willing to lay down his life for an 'undesirable'

I saw a YT short of a woman saying "I am glad Charlie Kirk is dead. He got what he deserved". A comment was that some people are evil now. It is evil to wish people dead. Is there a growing spirit of evil in America? We always talk about a shaking time in the church, but could there be a shaking time in the general population?

As many of you know I spent 20 years as a Denver VA Chaplain, and also as a chaplain for other hospitals. In part, due to my background, I was appointed to join a special group of area hospital people to work with HIV infected people. So, as a chaplain to that group, I spent one day a week working with HIV infected people for 13-months. Each week I shared a meal with such. * These included, men, women & children. * Some were former Adventists. * Some were present Adventists. * Just about all of the adults acknowledged that they were homosexual. * Some were celibate. * As they got to know me, they shared their journey with me. * I shared God's love for each of them in return. * No, I did not tell them that homosexuality was part of 'God's plan for humans. But, I could tell them of God's personal love for them. How many reading this have ever sat next to a HIV infected person at a shared meal?

Interesting. You have indeed studied this topic.

I wonder if they told their clergy to expend as much energy, money, and man hours into as a group trying to change the laws that are responsible for the mess and loss of life. Then all want to be seen as the righteous ones, those that care ready to lay down their lives, not those nasty unchristian conservatives. The mess we have going in MPLS is manufactured according to many, .Those constantly fanning the flames are not from MN, they are professionally trained agitators . .It is a deflection from some of the most corrupt administrations in the U. It did as was intended ,drawing attention away fromthe fraud and theft They know exactly what they are doing attention away from our governor, AG and our Somali congress woman. The tide has turned in a rapid way to support of this corruption when it had been building against the democratic administration. Families are being encouraged publically to rid the landscape of conservatives. "Sadly it will be necessary to take a harsh stand against family,even your own children or your parents" The leaders of this mess do not give a fig for the poor "illegals". They are simply useful idiots. Democrats and republicans have had ample time to correct that border mess with common sense laws. laws that would eliminate the need to come illegal,would stop that hideous practise of trafficking children. I know what the dems get in return for this,for the life of me I cant understand the republicans for this to remain as it does. Everyone has to gain something or when one party basically has the rule this would change. There have been times when both parties have had control and we have not made any headway.

I have in person and online, we had some here,

For informational purposes, I am posting my approach to moderation as to posts that other people make: * I almost never make a change in what a person has posted. On rare occasions I correct a typo that is clearly a major error, and I may notify the author that I did so. * I generally edit in the following three areas: Civil: Debate the issue and do not attack the person. Porn: This is not a place to post photos of people not wearing clothing, as has been done many times in the past. Commercial: This forum costs money to operate. It is not generally a place to promote commercial activity. Every year, I have to deal with a person who promotes a roofing company. This is not a place for you to advertise your income producing service. NOTE: On a limited basis, I do post information related to materials and services that I believe foster Christianity. This thread remains open for comments.

thanks I am going to set up a different email address for paypal, this may take a couple of days, It is so appreciated

Keep in mind that the central purpose of Club Adventist is to provide a place for people of differing views to discuss them in a civil manner. This generally involves a comparison of differing views. So, yes, we do address LGBTQ issues. However, we do ask that such discussion do not use adverse language in reference to such people. God loves all persons including LGBTQ people. On a personal basis, I am probably a bit more conservative than you might think. I welcome civil discussion here on all issues.

Great website! My wife also takes Magnesium, but it doesn't seem to help her as much as the iron!!

So some are upset because Canada is cancelling their order for a bunch of F-35s. They all have kill switches to protect American interests, which makes sense. There is a solid invasion plan for the former Great Nation of the United States to annex Canada. Canada is going with the Swedish one, which will be built in Canada. They would have to be stupid not to.

interesting... Insulin was first used in Toronto, they won an award for that and saved a lot of lives. They rejected patenting it because they wanted to make it affordable to all. those days of that type of medicine seem to have gone away, and greed has take over,

What is even crazier is that Canada just made a down payment on 14 more F-35s https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-f35-purchase-components-9.7081240

I am surprised that no one has commented on the latest data dump. Over 3 million pages. I will admit, that I was / am shocked at the details and the level of detail. Here is a good article about the pandemic. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/epsteins-gates-pandemonium

Hanseing and i are engaging in a private discussion of this subject. He has been frank, as I have been. I appreciate that. As that conversation has been private, I intend to keep it private. However, l will post here a comment as to my personal position: " To clear the air as to exactly what my position is: * I have never advocated that practicing homosexuals be granted membership in the SDA Church. * I do advocate that celibate homosexuals be granted membership in the SDA Church. * I do advocate that all sinners who attend our services in peace, be welcomed. This includes homosexuals who are not celibate. * In addition, I do advocate that active steps be taken to protect congregational attendees when people convicted of certain criminal behavior desire to attend. This is a different subject and is not normally going to apply to a homosexual."

Chaplain Matthews, I believe I owe you an apology, in light of your previous post. It was never my intent to comment on your personal preferences. Perhaps I understood one or more of your posts to be promoting an agenda which I abhor i.e., homosexuality; consequently, I took an extreme position against it and you personally. For that I am sorry.

So in the investigation that they did, did that turn out to be true??

Before people jump to conclusions, lets read the article. They were driving in the parking lot. They were fleeing police. In the country I live, it would have been many more than 5 shots for fleeing police. So these were likely very bad people.

Anyone surprised? sure there is going to be more as well. All with some sorta reason that is justified by the powers that be.
