At the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, close to Orlando, there is a retail, dining, and entertainment district called Disney Springs, formerly known as Downtown Disney. The AdventHealth Waterside stage is located in Disney Springs next to the LEGO Center and the World of Disney, the world’s largest Disney character store. According to Disney, the AdventHealth Waterside Stage is an “open-air” entertainment venue for “special events and live performances” that take place “each day and evening,” including on the sacred hours of God’s Sabbath. [1]
The AdventHealth Waterside Stage is described by Disney as follows:
“Lakeside Entertainment – As the sun goes down, relax as the air fills with the sounds of the show. Enjoy a lineup of bands, concerts and even a DJ Kids Dance Party at this expansive outdoor stage. It’s the perfect place to get your daily entertainment fix!” [1]
Alcohol flows at the AdventHealth Waterside Stage. In fact, alcohol is considered to be “a big part of the Walt Disney World vacation experience.” [2] Not only does AdventHealth, a Seventh-day Adventist healthcare system, have a partnership with Disney, but they also have an alcohol-fueled music, dance, and party venue named after them.
In the video above, partiers sing and dance as people line up to purchase their preferred choice of liquor: Jack Daniels, Crown Royal, Bacardi, Jameson, and others. These party revelers were praising the gods of this world through music, dance, and alcohol under the name of a Seventh-day Adventist Church entity, AdvenHealth, while simultaneously calling upon “heaven.” In the second song of the aforementioned video, a band can be heard singing the following lyrics during the alcohol-fueled party:
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry, child.
See, heaven’s got a plan for you.
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry now,
Yeah! (YouTube Video)
This phrase is repeated seven times in the song. [3] Dancing, flashing lights, loud music, alcohol, calling upon “heaven” — all of this was done at the AdventHealth entertainment pavilion. Brothers and sisters, this was a big, giant open-air bar! People were lining up to buy hard liquor and beer. This is done every night, including Friday night, God’s Sabbath.
Our church leaders are sponsoring this abomination. We are involved in this. These are our alcoholic partners. This is the same AdventHealth that sponsored the 2022 General Conference Session. AdventHealth was a “Platinum Plus Sponsor” for the General Conference Sessions. [4] AdventHealth has one foot in Disney’s open-air bar with our name on it and another foot at the General Conference Sessions, a global gathering of world delegates and leaders that conducted church business and prayed several times for the outpouring of the Latter Rain. However, there was no Latter Rain, and the only fluid that was made available was the liquor flowing out of the whiskey bottles at these church-sponsored drinking parties at Disney.
What transpired in Babylon when people started drinking wine from the Lord’s holy vessels while adoring the idols of stone and wood? They were weighed in the balances that same night and found wanting. Adventists used to vigorously preach abstinence. We used to preach temperance and oppose intoxicating drinks. We used to rebuke these great evils and call drunkards to repentance. Now, we are profiting along with our corporate business partners from this deadly poison. Don’t ever think that a kind and compassionate God who is merciful won’t punish this sin, because His love does have a limit:
“This Scripture pictures the work of those who manufacture and who sell intoxicating liquor. Their business means robbery. For the money they receive no useful equivalent is returned. Every dollar they add to their gains has brought a curse to the spender. Every year millions upon millions of gallons of intoxicating liquors are consumed. Millions upon millions of dollars are spent in buying wretchedness, poverty, disease, degradation, lust, crime, and death. For the sake of gain, the liquor dealer deals out to his victims that which corrupts and destroys mind and body. He entails on the drunkard’s family poverty and wretchedness” (Temperance, p. 28).
“What a terrible account liquor sellers will have to meet in the great day of God! In the books of heaven a record is kept of every tempting glass held out by man to his fellow-man, to forge the chains of an appetite which makes him mad” (Signs of the Times, July 4, 1900).
The sad reality is that we are in partnership with those who promote spiritualism (magic), the radical transgender ideology, and who also “sell intoxicating liquor.” We have some leaders who are in bed with the alcohol-loving Disney corporation while running our institutions. What is the point of healing the bodies of people if their souls are lost? What happened to our responsibility to proclaim God’s truth? It’s simply just evil what’s happening at Disney and at the AdventHealth Waterside Stage.
One day they will have to give an account for this wickedness, along with those who did nothing to stop this. There is no promise of salvation or promise of the Latter Rain for those who do not repent of this, because, as partners with the “sellers of intoxicating liquor,” we are under the same judgment. Unless we see our folly and seek the Lord through confession, God will not even hear our prayers.
“When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood … Those who sell intoxicating liquor to their fellow-men come under this reproof” (Review and Herald, May 8, 1894).
“And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.” Malachi 2:1, 2.

Thanks for sharing this Andy. It is sad. You asked the question in the tittle “When Will the General Conference Finally Put an End to this Abomination in the Church?” I do not believe they ever will, but God will and i believe that the ones involved in this evil [and do not repent] and the many more that are going on in the SDA church will loose there lives on the same night just as Belteshazzar did in Babylon. This time it will be at the appearing of Jesus in the clouds of Heaven at His second coming.

KJV James 4:4
4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
The followers of Christ are to separate themselves from sinners, choosing their society only when there is opportunity to do them good. We cannot be too decided in shunning the company of those who exert an influence to draw us away from God. While we pray, “Lead us not into temptation,” we are to shun temptation, so far as possible. {PP 458.2}

“One thing it is certain is soon to be realized—the great apostasy, which is developing and increasing and waxing stronger and will continue to do so until the Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout” (Letter 326, 1905).
Gloria says
“Are we hoping to see the whole church revived? That time will never come. There are persons in the church who are not converted, and who will not unite in earnest, prevailing prayer. We must enter upon the work individually.” —Selected Messages 1:122 (1887)
Maddison says
“We are now living in the great day of atonement. In the typical service, while the high priest was making the atonement for Israel, all were required to afflict their souls by repentance of sin and humiliation before the Lord, lest they be cut off from among the people. In like manner, all who would have their names retained in the book of life should now, in the few remaining days of their probation, afflict their souls before God by sorrow for sin and true repentance. There must be deep, faithful searching of heart. The light, frivolous spirit indulged by so many professed Christians must be put away. There is earnest warfare before all who would subdue the evil tendencies that strive for the mastery. The work of preparation is an individual work. We are not saved in groups. The purity and devotion of one will not offset the want of these qualities in another. Though all nations are to pass in judgment before God, yet He will examine the case of each individual with as close and searching scrutiny as if there were not another being upon the earth. Everyone must be tested and found without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. – {GC 489.3}

I don’t want to hear anymore hollow sermons by Ted Wilson and others unless they do something about this.

This is just one of many symptoms of being drunk on the wine of Babylon.

A terrible example and precedent is being set for our young people. No wonder our youth are in trouble.

The church needs to take a stand on this issue and reject these worldly entanglements.

I will answer the question in the title: The GC will NOT put an end to this abomination. Ever. It’s like asking the fox when he’s going to stop being a fox and poaching the chicken coop.
The church has been turned upside down by the world, and the SDA church not only allowed it, but begged for it. Whether the GC actively promotes behaviors like this or simply reflects the increasingly worldly heart of the church, the end result is the same. This rabbit hole has no bottom and no end, so do not be surprised by the worldliness of the church. It will not be long before the SDA church will deny that a “woman” is an adult human being with two “X” chromosomes. Many members already do.
You want this carnage to stop? Then stop funding the wolves. Simple as that. They need money to do what they do, and you give it to them. You allow the church to poach you for your money while you feel happy that you are obeying the directive to send your income to the church treasuries. They fully expect you to continue to tithe, reminding you that Ellen White said your tithe is not up to you to dispose of how you see fit. So you keep sending them your money; therefore, YOU are in effect funding the debauchery of the church.
And you can appeal to Ellen White all you want as the scapegoat to justify keeping the monies flowing into the coffers of the general church, but in so doing, you are aiding and abetting the evils that the official church condones. It’s a brilliant plan, really: Tell you that you have no right to determine what you should do with your tithe money (beyond a few “choices” you can mark on your tithe envelope), throw out some selected quotes from the prophetess, guilt-trip you with sermons on Malachi 3, then they sit back and watch the $$$ flow in. Consider this: How many sermons have you heard on giving tithes and the evils of not tithing? Now, how many sermons have you heard about the evils of abortion (most likely a number close to or equal to “zero.”)?
Very few of you (if any) will do what I just suggested, but it WILL come to the point that if you want to maintain the integrity of your faith and honor God with how you tithe, It is not enough to justify yourselves by saying, “Well, God knows my heart, and if they misuse the money I give, God will hold them accountable.” Although that statement is technically true, it does not justify us being slack with our resources and failing to do our due diligence. The attitude that “I’m not responsible for what they do, God will hold them accountable!” is a lazy cop-out. That same attitude is why the SDA church struggles with maintaining loyalty to God while capitulating to the world for covid advice.
Money moves this pagan world, and SDA upper management is moved by money more than by the Word of God. So until you make it painful for them in the pocketbook, they will play you like an old violin.
You should understand that the church has many wolves on all levels. The wolf cannot be tamed. He cannot be rehabilitated. You cannot beg or plead or bargain or dialogue with the wolf. Politely asking the wolf or threatening the wolf will only make it angrier. Quoting the Scriptures or Ellen White writings will only make them laugh. The wolf will do what a wolf does and it will not stop until everything he can eat has been devoured. You can only run the wolves away, or you can starve them out. I’ll leave it up to you to figure out what ultimately happens if the wolves are tolerated and supported.
You want to get rid of this dark stain of demonic leadership? Keep your money local. Support your church. Locally. And ONLY your church, plus any specific missionary endeavors you feel led to help. You need to decouple entirely from the beast system. YOU have the right to decide where your tithe monies go, NOT the GC or even the local conference. You should understand that the SDA church has gone the way of every other entity; it has gotten so large and top-heavy as to become monolithic, and the GC has come to the point where it responds little, if at all, to “we the people.” Are you able and willing to see this?
The Lord is not coming back for the Adventist church. He is coming back for His people who are scattered all over the world. Continue to feed the goats at the GC level to your own loss.
