“And there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.” Judges 2:10-12.
What was once condemned as idolatrous and pagan is now being embraced at Seventh-day Adventist youth events. The West Indonesia Union Mission, the East Indonesia Union Mission, the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, and Hope Channel Indonesia sponsored the Third Indonesian Pathfinder Camporee 2023 that took place from June 26 to July 2 in Buperta Cibubur, East Jakarta. [1]
This event, which featured worship, prayers, baptisms, tribal dancing, animism, rap music, and a variety of other secular and worldly entertainment activities, was attended by over 4,500 young people. Church youth leaders, along with thousands of young people, and with the support of the top leadership in the church, are imitating the abominations found in paganism and bringing them into Adventism. Live satellite coverage of the entire event was provided by Hope Channel Indonesia.
Ancient pagan dancing cannot honor God because it pays homage to demonic forces. But this is not stopping certain leaders from opening the door to the demonic desecration of the modern church. As you will see in the video above, the whole camp was mesmerized as they danced around in a circle, glorifying paganism. Adventism and idolatry are working together, hand in hand, in full communion at many Pathfinder events. This generation has become so blind that it cannot distinguish the holy from the profane.
Today, the international Pathfinder Camporee events combine worldly music, rap, tribal dancing, and theatrics with worship of the Creator. Is this what we want to expose our children to? There seems to be some kind of coordination because these things are happening worldwide. Who would allow this to happen? Who is authorizing this? Who would allow our children—those with the most impressionable and vulnerable minds—to be unguarded at gatherings meant to promote frivolity through musical entertainment that will send them to perdition?
World Pathfinder Director for the General Conference, Dr. Andres Peralta (laying down), spoke at the Third Indonesian Pathfinder Camporee 2023.
In the video above, you will also see Dr. Andres Peralta speaking at the Third Indonesian Pathfinder Camporee 2023. He is the “World Pathfinder Director for the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists and oversees youth leaders in 217 countries.” He also provides “support and resources to 13 divisions under the General Conference Adventist Youth Ministries umbrella.” [2] [3] He and his colleagues at the General Conference Youth Ministries are responsible for what is taking place in the Pathfinders organization because they are aware of everything that occurs in these youth events and do nothing to stop the frolic, entertainment, tribal dancing, or the corruption of our youth. They don’t speak out against these negative influences; instead, they praise and celebrate them and seek to bring these same kinds of displays to youth events throughout the world.
Our children are systematically being seduced by a well-orchestrated plan devised by Satan as he seeks to take our youth captive. Tragically, by introducing new values in music and entertainment to our youth, the Pathfinders organization contributes to their demise.
Dr. Andres Peralta (white circle) is with the leaders of the General Conference Youth Ministries and the youth directors for the Thirteen World Divisions.
The Pathfinders are an official entity of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church, and they are responsible for doing this. We have wolves dressed in master guide uniforms that are mentoring our young people in the ways of the world. And Dr. Andres Peralta, who represents the General Conference and is in charge of all the Pathfinder, Adventurer, and Master Guide Clubs worldwide, was present in Indonesia and gave his approval to everything that was happening.
It is a shame what this youth program has become. I cannot, in good conscience, support this program and would never have my kids be a part of it. All of this could be avoided if we, as a church, followed the counsel that God has given to us for the young people. The further away we get from God’s instructions, the faster we destroy our institutions and young people. And once again, no one will ever be held accountable. If we had reformers at the General Conference, Dr. Andres Peralta would be given his walking papers, and he would then be free to go and join a circus. Instead, we have a circus show infiltrating the church. Tragically, the new Pathfinder celebrations will go on unimpeded. The abusers and opportunists will be free to repeat these performances at the next big events, thereby fulfilling the following statement:
“The introduction of music into their homes, instead of inciting to holiness and spirituality, has been the means of diverting their minds from the truth. Frivolous songs and the popular sheet music of the day seem congenial to their taste. The instruments of music have taken time which should have been devoted to prayer. Music, when not abused, is a great blessing; but when put to a wrong use, it is a terrible curse. It excites, but does not impart that strength and courage which the Christian can find only at the throne of grace while humbly making known his wants and with strong cries and tears pleading for heavenly strength to be fortified against the powerful temptations of the evil one. Satan is leading the young captive. Oh, what can I say to lead them to break his power of infatuation! He is a skillful charmer, luring them on to perdition … I saw that Satan had blinded the minds of the youth that they could not comprehend the truths of God’s word. Their sensibilities are so blunted that they regard not the injunctions of the holy apostle” (Testimonies, Vol. 1 p. 497).

If you study the origins of fire breathing, it has pagan roots. This is the new form of entertainment for our youth. The fact that we have to resort to so many gimmicks in order to keep the kids happy is a truly sad state of affairs. This is exactly what the world is doing.
They are all acting like a bunch of wild animals. How do they think they can go out and witness and spread the Three Angels Messages after committing devil worship??? God will not honor their work.
“How do they think they can go out and witness and spread the Three Angels Messages after committing devil worship??? ”
Dear sister, they will not.
If Ted Wilson can shut down any discussions regarding COVID-19 vaccinations at the GC Sessions, he could also use his influence to end this nonsense. Why doesn’t he come out and denounce this?
There is a conspiracy from the GC down to the local conferences to change our SDA identity: “Men will employ every means to make less prominent the difference between Seventh-day Adventists and observers of the first day of the week.” (6T 144)
It’s turning into a clown show.
What abominations? What apostacy? God is not mocked; whatever a man sows that shall he also reap. Lord have mercy!!!
“It is not alone those who openly reject the Testimonies, or who cherish doubt concerning them, that are on dangerous ground. To disregard light is to reject it.” – {5T 680.2}
These men reject the special testimonies given to the Remnant people. Satan’s triumph is complete.
The time of judgement of the SDA people is nearly upon us. As Christ moves from the judgment of the righteous dead to the judgment of the living, he must commence first at the house of God – Ezekiel 9:4-6, 1 Peter 4:17. Satan knows this, so he has redoubled and redoubled again his efforts to bring as many within the SDA denomination into perdition as is supernaturally possible. What we are witnessing is the fruit of Satan’s work. It is the evidence that the clusters of the vine are ready to be reaped. It reveals to those with eyes to see and ears to hear that the time for us to make our final decision is at hand.
“Take heed that no man deceive you,” was the warning Christ gave about this time we are living in. After the showdown on Mt. Carmel between the true God and false gods, it was not enough for Israel to simply acknowledge the Father as God (“Jehovah, HE is the God” they said) . The prophets of Baal, or false gods, also had to be destroyed. How is this to be done today? First, the Father must once again be acknowledged as the only true God (John 17:3), then we must turn away completely from the corporate SDA denominational system which has enshrined the worship of false gods (Baal a.k.a. trinity) in its core beliefs and is now manifesting it in E-X-A-C-T-L-Y the same way as the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel. In the act of turning away (which is to say being separate, or coming out from, or touching not the unclean, etc.) we must also expose the works iniquity which shed light on the fact that the corporate SDA denomination as a whole is sick and unsound “from the sole of the foot even unto the head” (Isa 1:6). This is how the false prophets are to be destroyed. We permit ourselves to be deceived if we believe that we can merely expose the iniquity within the SDA denomination, while continuing to remain connected to it and refusing to acknowledge the Father as the true God (John 4:23). We permit ourselves to be deceived if we believe that we can acknowledge the true God, but still remain connected to an institution which disavows that true God so clearly identified in scripture and keep quiet about its apostacy. And again, we deceive ourselves if we think that we should just separate from the denomination for the sake of separating without comprehension of the issues. All aspects must be present if the Mt. Carmel experience of the last day Elijah’s is to be realized… there must be (1) identification of the unrighteous acts, (2) acknowledgment of the Father as the true God, and (3) a separation from that corrupt system which has institutionalized false worship. Thus, the deception that Christ warned about was not just about avoiding being one of the performers or directors at any one of the heathen displays being put on by the modern SDA denomination on Mt. Carmel; rather, the true deception extends to all of us who are beholding these events in bewilderment and wondering what we are to do.
Following are just a couple paragraphs of the chapter titled “False Shepherds” from the book Early Writings. Please read the rest of the chapter, and for that matter, the entirety of the book to see if these things are so. Also pay close attention to the chapters “The Advent Movement Illustrated” and “Another illustration”.
“The different parties of professed ADVENT believers [NOTE: this has to do with SDA’s] have each a little truth, but God has given all these truths to His children who are being prepared for the day of God [NOTE: the day of God puts this in a last days context]. He has also given them truths that none of these parties know, neither will they understand. Things which are sealed up to them, the Lord has opened to those who will see and are ready to understand [NOTE: in the last days, God will open up matters of truth to his true people – see also Isa 51]. If God has any new light to communicate, He will let His chosen and beloved understand it, without their going to have their minds enlightened by hearing those who are in darkness and error. EW 124.2
I was shown the necessity of those who believe that we are having the last message of mercy, being separate from those who are daily imbibing new errors [NOTE: remember, the context has to do with SDA’s in the last days]. I saw that neither young nor old should attend their meetings; for it is wrong to thus encourage them while they teach error that is a deadly poison to the soul and teach for doctrines the commandments of men. The influence of such gatherings is not good. If God has delivered us from such darkness and error, we should stand fast in the liberty wherewith He has set us free and rejoice in the truth. God is displeased with us when we go to listen to error, without being obliged to go; for unless He sends us to those meetings where error is forced home to the people by the power of the will, He will not keep us. The angels cease their watchful care over us, and we are left to the buffetings of the enemy, to be darkened and weakened by him and the power of his evil angels; and the light around us becomes contaminated with the darkness.” EW 124.3
Ironically, it is the denomination that should no longer have the right to use the Seventh-day Adventist name, yet it is the denomination that with the voice of a dragon casts men and women out of the synagogue and prohibits them from using the name. Do not fear their threats. Being a Seventh-day Adventist has nothing to do with membership in corporate structure. Being a Seventh-day Adventist is a condition of the heart that God sees and will reward. To be separate from modern denominational Seventh-day Adventism is not to abandon it… rather it is a return to true Seventh-day Adventism which the modern SDA denomination wants nothing to do with. It is not evil to separate from wickedness. It is a prerequisite for righteousness. May God the Father give his people strength to realize that the time has come to make our final decision.
Happy Sabbath
As a Youth 30 years ago I protested against such Abominations as they were coming in to the Church. Back then the Leaders of the South Qld Conference did all i n their power to Silence me. Mel Lemke, Nick Cross [ Right Back Row behind Andries Perelta in silver hair ] all Encouraged this Pagan madness back then in a Milder and more Respectable form. Folk these Men have blood on their hands. The Blood of Millions of SDA Youth they are Ultimately Responsible for as they have Indoctrinated and Brainwashed the Parents and the Youth themselves in these False Doctrines for Years.
I believe that the leaders and the church have committed Unpardonable sin and that Millions are Headed for Eternal Damnation and the Lake of Fire, as they have Followed the Leaders in unpardonable sin an mixing HOLY with the PROFANE.
It is Written in the Prophet Jeremiah.
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other
gods whom ye know not;
10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Is this house,which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have
seen it, saith the LORD.
12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
13 And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.†
19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
The Fallen Church has Plenty of Eli’s and the End Thereof will be the Same as Shiloh. I for one do not pray or intercede for a people who have mocked God as the SDA Denomination has done. God is not mocked folk. God is Already Judging Apostate leaders in Australia. Mel Lemke who has lead thousands to Eternal Damnation and the lake of Fire Suffered a Heart Attack and Died within Days about two Years ago. Nick Cross his Junior Sidekick at the time will face a Similar fate because Nick and Leaders like him Embrace and Encourage Apostasy Instead of Repudiating it and Denouncing it.
