Conservatives. to UltraConservatives to Out the Door

[teresaq]

ive noticed an alarming trend over the last few years...conservatives getting fixated on the negative, becoming ultra-conservatives and eventually leaving the church altogether to flood my email, and others, with nothing but the negative that is going on in the sda church and everywhere else.

it certainly has helped put the brakes on how much negativity-termed otherwise by others-that i will read or engage in, even in defending defamed-termed evilspeaking in the bible-individuals.

as i go back to the sidelines and watch the progression...

when they begin saying, you are not living up to my expectation... they often go that way..

Not all ultra-conservatives are about what I am going to say, please re read as needed,. Most of the pedophiles in out Church or other Churches are the ultraconservatives.. please reread the first sentence in this paragraph.

If doubts, ask any conference leadership that has expereience.

wow!! but that does make sense based on the info i have. we are at different stages mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and a pedophile is mentally/emotionally at a childs age...

but no, not all ultras are pedophiles..."stuck" probably applies.

Where is this going? Ultraconservative SDAS are generally legalists and immataure. They need a list of directions (dos and don'ts) and want to insist all their fellow church members do the same. They hardly have an original thought of their own.

That's my experice

That's also why I like this original thoughts column.
