Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted June 18, 2006 Members Posted June 18, 2006 This is a very interesting article that examines the "Let me pray about it" answer that many Christians give to questions and/or requests from people. http://www.the-next-wave-ezine.info/issu...20CULTURE%5F225 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?

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted June 18, 2006 Author Members Posted June 18, 2006 ::nods:: I think there's lots of Christian code language spoken in the SDA church....most of it I have not figured out. Here's what I *have* figured out: Spirit of Prophecy = Ellen G. White the Remnant = the Adventist church it's the Sabbath = when the clock hits 5:59:58 this evening it's okay to watch TV, or go swimming, or go downhill skiing (it's okay to do cross-country skiing on the Sabbath) You should just look at Jesus as an example = nah nah nah nah nah naaahhhh, I'm just a sinner too, so dont bug me with questions I'm a vegetarian = how can you eat something that had a face? Academy = high school Dorcas = Community services center = Dorcas = retired folks sewing quilts Nominating committee = group of people with whom other church members try to avoid speaking during the late summer months Communion Sabbath = day to plan a trip to the mountains, or the beach, or the desert, or the etc..

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 18, 2006 Moderators Posted June 18, 2006 Pam, you are on a roll. You are much more Adventist than you realized. Now, if you had listed "Ingathering."! Quote Gregory
