Allison, you are so right. Our Lord has many faithful watchmen that are loudly proclaiming the Three Angels Messages and these are the Ministers of God that I support and not the apostate General Conference.

Matthew 15:14
[14]Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Even John the Baptist didn’t join the established church and the rabbanical schools of his day, but God sent to the wilderness.

In the natural order of things, the son of Zacharias would have been educated for the priesthood. But the training of the rabbinical schools would have unfitted him for his work. God did not send him to the teachers of theology to learn how to interpret the Scriptures. He called him to the desert, that he might learn of nature and nature’s God. DA 101.3

Romans 16:17
[17]Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

I remember going to school in 1994 and this beautiful, graceful girl with large eyes, quiet nature, a deer-like stride and keen intelligence (she beat my test scores regularly) joined our class at an SDA school in southern Africa. Her name was June (I think) and she fascinated me. There was something about her, a deep sadness, a smile held up with the weight of heartache, and a mysterious otherness that I clearly remember so many years later. They stayed for a few months and just as suddenly as she arrived in my class, she was gone. My father later told me that they had gotten word that people back home had sent an assassin down to ‘take care’ of them. June and her family left that night. I have always wondered where she ended up and if she was happy and safe. I hope to see her in heaven again one day. I pray for her some nights. That was my first real introduction into the violence and evil of this world. I’ll never forget her.

I was reading up on this man and his son now. Thank you for mentioning them. I grew up in southern Africa and never heard about the SDA involvement. Did our church ever respond to their specific case?

It gives credence to Jesus’ solemn warning that parents will betray their children and children will betray their parents. And yet He died for us all. He paid the price for all that evil. No wonder the angels don’t understand. I don’t either.

That’s true, but if the people don’t do nothing nor protest against them and cast them out of their charges, but contrary to that they keep voting them, even if it’s in a group, then they participate to the leaders’ sin.

well said sister our leaders are fulfilling the prophesy about them…. they have join the man of sin and betray Christ soon the wrath of God will be pour on this earth because of their wickedness

Pastor Jeffrey’s used to say

Your actions speak so loud cannot hear what you are saying

“Like Uzzah, they are attempting to steady the ark which belongs to God, and is under His special supervision. Said my Guide to those in these councils, “Who of the men among you have felt the burden of the cause from the first, and have accepted responsibilities under trying circumstances? Who has carried the burden of the work during the years of its existence? Who has practiced self-denial and self-sacrifice? The Lord made a place for His stanch servants, whose voices have been heard in warning. He carried forward His work before any of you put your hands to it, and He can and will find a place for the truth you would suppress.” CW 96.2
