					<description><![CDATA[The true Church are those who band together in loving fellowship, keeping the commandments of God and holding to the faith of Jesus—those who acknowledge God as our heavenly Father and Christ Jesus as the divine only begotten Son of the one true and living God. Those who take the Bible as it reads and live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Stay close to the Bible and the inspired writings of Mrs. Ellen G. White and you will have a safe and blessed path to follow to the kingdom of God and the Lamb. Trust not in man. Trust God and His Son and be filled with the Spirit of God and of Christ.

A key phrase is....&quot;The result of such work will be unbelief in the Testimonies,&quot; or &quot;This class of evil workers have selected portions of the Testimonies, and have placed them in the framework of error&quot;.       Is this happening with those you are referencing?  My next move would be to read the whole original articles in context before I make a judgement call.]]></description>

Need to do a study on tithe. We have Biblical council on paying tithe. We do not pick and choose to whom and how we pay tithe. God has His system. Can&#039;t throw stones at the GC if people are not involved and speak up , we have council on all points of how we are to deal with different issues in God&#039;s format. There are many already that do not pay a proper tithe. There are still many in God&#039;s church that preach the 3 angels message. There are many that don&#039;t.  ALL SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST need to get on their knees before the Lord repent and overcome...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[years ago Johnson wrote a little book called&quot; The Fragmenting of Adventism&quot;. He was a vice president of the GC and suggested that the church would have to reorganised.I dont know how many read that book,but I saw that book as a prediction of a prophetic nature. It is clear to me ,spiritual rats have been feeding on the core of the organisation for a while now.I believe the independent groups are the ones, that would keep the peculiar SDA church alive. Maybe the time has come to end the General conference and let each region have its own counsel of leaders .I am not one bit surprised at the condition and what has happened at the recent GC session.After all, didnt Joe Crews warned us of the creeping compromise of the church years ago.If we play the ostrich game, some day we would get the rude awakening to get our heads out of the sand. Many voices have been warning this church but we thought ,because we are  the people of God, we were safe and nothing could go wrong.The SDA church has been infiltrated from the higher etchelon down,because we have let down our guard.I dont know how we would find and get them out,but I do know what the Bible says in Luke 8:17,Matt 16:18 and Isa 54:17 and God keeps His word.He has not handed over the SDA church to Ted Wilson, Diop and others who think they are bosses to do as they please and what seem right in their eyes.When God calls a man to be a shepherd,if he is not contented to be a shepherd and not a boss,it is best to,step aside,gracefully exit.I am calling on all SDA churches who truly love God and his church, to proclaim  genuine fast in all the churches around the world, with men and women who truly love God, and have the work and the church at heart. A prayer offensive must be launched against this evil that is taking over the SDA church.It must be a constant watch that God would revive true Godliness in His church.]]></description>

Ellen White during her time stopped giving God&#039;s tithe to the conference seeing that genuine bible workers were being neglected and overlooked and that corruption within the General Conference was prevalent. She identified independent ministries and other bible workers who were genuinely involved in God&#039;s work and gave them God&#039;s tithe money directly instead of giving it to the General Conference]]></description>
