Moderators lazarus Posted November 9, 2005 Moderators Posted November 9, 2005 Can you give me one word to describe your impression of the official SDA website. http://www.adventist.org/ Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Einstein
Ron Lambert Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Personable. But I also have to remark that it does not look very official. Quote
cricket Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Informational. Interestingly, I do not find it to be personable at all. Quote

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted November 10, 2005 Members Posted November 10, 2005 Staid. Quote Pam      Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

LifeHiscost Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 Quote: Bozell said: putrud Maybe a trip to Ambika's village might help to change your mind. Ambika was born with a death sentence. In her isolated village in Nepal, children with deformities are thought to be cursed by the gods. The decision of the village elders was that Shanta, Ambika’s mother, must not feed her new baby. She must let her die. Quote Lift Jesus up!!
Fran Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Untouchable to average member; Too many places to go to get what you want; The header and tabs are ok, but the church has a lot on the ball and needs to put some current news there. Have interviews to click on; Tell about church planting; Tell about Hope TV and Adventist Media Center; REACH OUT AND TOUCH THE MEMBERS! Quote The greatest want of the world is the want of men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true & honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty..., men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.{Ed 57.3}

wicklunds Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 backslidden... The Lord has pronounced a curse upon those who take from or add to the Scriptures. The great I AM has decided what shall constitute the rule of faith and doctrine, and he has designed that the Bible shall be a household book. The church that holds to the word of God is irreconcilably separated from Rome. Protestants were once thus apart from this great church of apostasy, but they have approached more nearly to her, and are still in the path of reconciliation to the Church of Rome. Rome never changes. Her principles have not altered in the least. She has not lessened the breach between herself and Protestants; they have done all the advancing. But what does this argue for the Protestantism of this day? It is the rejection of Bible truth which makes men approach to infidelity. It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy. {ST, February 19, 1894 par. 4} Quote It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy. {ST, February 19, 1894 par. 4}
Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted November 14, 2005 Moderators Posted November 14, 2005 Dennis: The question related to a website of the SDA Church. As is typical for you, you responded in a manner that did not tell us anything about that website. Rather, you went on a rant against the organized SDA Chruch. O.K. that is where you are. No one can really dialogue with you on the subject of the question about the website. Quote Gregory
cricket Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Dennis, I think Mr. Matthews meant the SDA church, not "chruch". This isn't a thread that I started, but it is evident to me that you feel that the SDA church is backsliding and that the website reflects this as well. Thank you for your contribution here, ~Chrys Quote
Moderators lazarus Posted November 14, 2005 Author Moderators Posted November 14, 2005 As the person who started the thread I just wanted to see how people feel about the site. I find the site somewhat frustrating. I like the personal stories but where is the cutting edge, the dynamism, the sense of urgency the passion for a lost world. I'm not just talking about aesthetics, I'm talking about content too. I wouldn't mind being irritated, puzzled or even fired up but the site it just NICE!!!!! do you understand what I mean?

Neil D Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 [chuckle] Lazurius, you are looking for the radical.... But when the radicle becomes mainstream, it ceases to be radical, does it not? For all those who like to , I would give this site the one word description of sesquipedalian Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.

Gregory, I do not wish to dialogue with you or anyone Gregory, but merely expressed my heartfelt concerns about the organized church as depicted by the given website. Why does this need to be contentious? Dennis Quote It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy. {ST, February 19, 1894 par. 4}
