As the day began, it was clear that the opening session would be marked by intense debate and contention. Everyone who attended the morning press conference orientation was informed that three agendas were going to be approved on this day: the Church Manual agenda, the Constitutional agenda, and the General agenda. The main issue centered on the General agenda, which allows for multiple items to be introduced. It was during this phase—approving the General agenda—that delegates would have the opportunity to shape what topics would be discussed. All of this was scheduled to unfold on the afternoon of July 3, 2025.
However, during the morning’s press conference orientation—where members of the press met with church leaders—we were forewarned about the possibility that certain groups and delegates would attempt to expand the church’s official agenda. Leaders stated plainly that they were aware of a strong likelihood that some would seek to revisit the immunization statement previously published by the General Conference, as well as raise concerns about the ongoing financial ties between our institutions and government agencies.
Brothers and sisters, it was no secret that these issues were weighing heavily on the minds of many—both those in support and those in opposition. As the afternoon session approached, just as anticipated, several delegates stepped forward to introduce motions addressing the very concerns we had been warned about during the morning press conference orientation. One after another, delegates sought to revisit the church’s position on COVID, its relationship with the United Nations, and the increasing reliance on so-called peer-reviewed science in shaping our health policies.
Then it happened again—just like at the 61st General Conference Session. Ted Wilson once more hijacked the floor, delivering what was clearly a preplanned, 12-minute sermonette—complete with printed documents and curated examples—all designed to sway the delegates into rejecting any and all attempts to add key items to the agenda. This took place despite the chairman’s earlier instruction that no speaker would be allowed more than two minutes to speak. The double standard was glaring, and the message was unmistakable: dissent would be silenced, and the status quo preserved.
This speech was not spontaneous—it was preplanned and strategically calculated. But perhaps even more troubling were the words President Ted Wilson chose to use in discrediting and dismissing those who disagreed with him on the church’s COVID stance and its acceptance of government funding. In front of the entire delegation—and the watching world—he used language that undermined sincere concerns and painted faithful members as troublemakers. His words were not just dismissive; they were a public rebuke of anyone daring to question the direction of the church on these critical issues.
The following words are found in his speech in reference to certain dissidents:
• Completely false
• Twittered wording
• Twisted the intent
• Misunderstandings
• Highly misinformed view
• Erroneous
• Not accurate
• Twist and misuse
• Small minority in the church
• Conspiracies
• Unbelievable
• Complete fallacy
• Agitators
• Erroneous misleading information
President Ted Wilson then urged the delegates to move forward and reject the proposed recommendations, insisting that these items had already been addressed. What’s deeply troubling is the glaring contradiction—at the very start of the session, he called for unity. But how can you call for unity while simultaneously lambasting those who raise legitimate concerns and poisoning the minds of the delegates against anyone who dares to challenge the official narrative? That’s not unity—this is human control disguised as consensus.
As president of the General Conference, Ted Wilson carries considerable influence—and he used it to sway the session. In a troubling sequel to the previous General Conference Session, Wilson was once again granted unprecedented and unequal access to deliver a carefully crafted speech, shaping the narrative from the outset. Predictably, every motion that might have opened the floor to broader discussion was swiftly voted down, leaving many to question whether true representation or manufactured consensus prevailed.
After the business meetings, during the subsequent press conference, questions were raised about why Ted Wilson was granted extensive freedom and unrestricted access to address the delegates. The response can be seen in the video.
We were essentially told that the church has moved on and that discussions about its stance on COVID-19, grant funding, NGOs, and related topics have been dismissed, with the matter now considered permanently closed. In the above video, I informed our leaders that this issue will not simply disappear. Here’s why:
“Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.” Luke 21:10, 11.
The COVID-19 crisis was not a singular event but part of a prophetic pattern foretold by Jesus Himself. It was not the end but merely the beginning of sorrows. The term ‘pestilences’ is plural, suggesting that we should anticipate further outbreaks, additional global health crises, and ongoing efforts to control society through fear and manipulation.
Instead of analyzing what happened and where we went wrong, the church has moved on and has become complacent. God’s people must recognize that these developments are part of the final shaking, calling us to wake up, be prepared, and put our trust in Christ alone.

Is there anywhere we can see the whole interview?
I’m sorry but I think Ted Wilson is full of malarkey as he admitted if the people there at the conference weren’t vaccinated, they had to be checked for Covid once a week so there he is saying about the shot. Also, the pastors and most of the conferences would not give people letters to excuse them from work from getting a Covid shot and we should have backed that if people didn’t want it didn’t believe they should have it. The pastor should have written letters for them. They had to go to independent ministries to get letters.
Why should they receive letters from their pastor? Anti Vax is not an Adventist belief so they should pressure the church to further a personal anti vax agenda.
It is not a Ani Vax issue! That is not a Vax either. The point is persons conscience conviction! Liberty of conscience, free from coercion or mandates that mirror the world exactly. It deals with the church walking hand in hand with the world. It is nothing about the shot. It is about our God given freedom. Wether people chose or did not choose. Employers should not have been able to go to church website and find no support for individual freedom of conscience to chose for themselves. That is the point. By circular linguistics it was mandated. Look how God felt with Cain. Both in sacrifice and in killing able… If you don’t get it one day soon you will and I hope you have support for your conscience.
Elder Wilson needs the extra 10 minutes because when he talks in a slower NLP type of way, 2 minutes just won’t cut it, to totally put an audience to sleep he needs 11-12 minutes…
clearly he LIED because the GC ADMINISTRATION statement Did indeed place “The Bible SOP and Peer Reviewed Science” on the same level,
He picked to completely misread that statement, and The wholething appears to be a masterclass on gas lighting.
This is sad the evil Spirit of Popery is prevailing in our leadership but this should be a wake up call for the coming crisis while this is the final rekindling of the protest in God’s church let’s pray for personal connection with God.#God isin control#

Amen, yes read it myself, amen amen.
People should tread lightly trying to keep a calm status quo, when God Himself is allowing agitation …
People need to realize that Ted Wilson intentionally misquoted the 2015 Immunization Statement. After watching his speech I went to the official adventist website to verify and indeed it was different. I had the thought that I should copy and save the statement on my computer because they might change it, so when I went to it this morning, it was changed to match what Ted Wilson said in his speech. The old statement was: “The Adventist health emphasis is based on biblical revelation, the inspired writing of E.G. White (co-founder of the Church), and on peer-reviewed scientific literature.” This statement can be only found now in old articles like “Regarding Immunization: ‘Is Science Alone ‘Our’ Guide?” (June 22, 2023) found on this website.
Now the official Immunization statement is changed to: “The Adventist health emphasis is based on the Bible, the inspired writings of Church co-founder Ellen G White, and is informed by peer-reviewed scientific health literature” on the official adventist website, to match the way Ted Wilson intentionally deceived the world church in a sermonette that was intended to sway the votes.
I don’t understand how the delegates are so blind as to accept the agenda and are not willing to discuss these issues and call the leadership to account.
Speaking as a voting delegate for this years GC, I can only assume that like myself, the majority of the world church doesn’t have issue with the statement and sees no need to discuss things that aren’t causing confusion and division in our conferences or divisions. If the NAD want to push an anti vax position for the wider church and derail the approved and voted agenda to try and force the issue, we are going to oppose it.
Exactly. Wilson’s speech reflected the frustration with this topic, the continued push for motions to inject it into the agenda when by far most delegates present had no interest, and the enormous majority sentiment of the delegates to move on from this issue. Wilson spoke for probably 90% or more of the voting delegates. Obviously voting delegates likely support vaccines. Outside the US and Australia it seemed to be of no interest.
Amen, yes read it myself, amen amen.
People should tread lightly trying to keep a calm status quo, when God Himself is allowing agitation …
En tant que délégué vous vous devez de efendre l’avis de la majorité des membres, pas le votre. Vous aviez une mission à accomplir.
Although I support all delegates or anyone else who made an effort to bring reforms, I believe that God is allowing this to happen; God has allowed us to see and recognize that the enemy is within, and has dug their roots deep in our church. This is what has happened because we were spiritually asleep for far to long. And as to what you alluded to bro Andy, that they were prepared for this battle, but I’m afraid to say that we were not. We need to understand that taking the ax to bad fruit is not the way to go, because they were ready for it. We need to take the ax to the root of the tree. Because we cannot change what God has prophesied. Yes, we have to stand for the truth non the less, however for the sake of our sleeping brethren and souls in the world who need the 3rd Angel’s Message. Everyone is aligning themselves either for Christ or satan, and are playing their part in this final conflict.
This is where those of us who are sighing and crying for the abominations being done in our church and in the world, we have to be wholly sanctified by the truth. What truth? The Bible and Spirit of Prophecy, which gives us warnings and exposes the snares and deceptions of satan for these last days, inside and outside our church.
Too many of us have glossed over some of these prophetic warnings and councils, and even failed to use them appropriately. Hopefully and prayerfully we can truly see the enemy that we are fighting against, so that we will dispell any doubt or unbelief in the Testimonies of Jesus, and what was revealed to us.
“God will arouse His people; if other means fail, heresies will come in among them, which will sift them, separating the chaff from the wheat. The Lord calls upon all who believe His word to awake out of sleep. Precious light has come, appropriate for this time. It is Bible truth, showing the perils that are right upon us. This light should lead us to a diligent study of the Scriptures and a most critical examination of the positions which we hold. God would have all the bearings and positions of truth thoroughly and perseveringly searched, with prayer and fasting. Believers are not to rest in suppositions and ill-defined ideas of what constitutes truth. Their faith must be firmly founded upon the word of God so that when the testing time shall come and they are brought before councils to answer for their faith they may be able to give a reason for the hope that is in them, with meekness and fear.” 5T 707.3
“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. ” Isaiah 58:1 KJV
“The forerunner of Christ’s first advent was a very plain-spoken man. He rebuked sin, and called things by their right names. He laid the ax at the root of the tree. He thus addressed one class of professed converts who came to be baptized of him in Jordan: “O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance…. And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”
In this fearful time, just before Christ is to come the second time, God’s faithful preachers will have to bear a still more pointed testimony than was borne by John the Baptist. A responsible, important work is before them; and those who speak smooth things, God will not acknowledge as His shepherds. A fearful woe is upon them.” 1T 321.1 – 1T 321.2
Amen, yes read it myself, amen amen.
People should tread lightly trying to keep a calm status quo, when God Himself is allowing agitation …
Le statu quoi n’est pas un langage chrétien. La parole dit: que ton uoi soit oui,que ton non soit non. Le chrétien prie,analyse, et prend position
AMEN, SPOT ON..
AMEN, SPOT ON…
Would be good to see the whole interview.
good show Andy to stand against this evil that is the church of Wilson.
Looks like the “captain” is firmly determined to go down with the “ship”.
They knew that this issue will be broad forward, so they used NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programing). They repeatedly used the word “dinner”, and other like, to provoke an anxious desire to eat. They provoked thoughts in the delegates mind that if this issue go thru it will take a long time and they will take dinner late at night. So the delegates hypnotized by the use of NLP voted “NO”.
“Our own views and ideas must not control our efforts. Man is fallible, but God’s Word in infallible. Instead of wrangling with one another, let men exalt the Lord. Let us meet all opposition as did our Master, saying, ‘It is written.’ Let us lift up the banner on which is inscribed, The Bible our rule of faith and discipline.”
—The Review and Herald, Dec 15, 1885
Every man is fallible—Jesus Christ, is the Living Word thus the ONLY exception!
For shame, the GC betrayed its own members during the Convid plandemic. The GC sold themselves for filthy lucre & do not ever want their betrayal to be known. Their bank accounts are full but their souls are empty. I think it will be status quo under Erton Köhler. God will judge them quite soon, if He hasn’t already. Matthew 23 comes to mind.
I believe Wilson was deceptive in stating that only a small minority in the church are concerned about this issue.
Especially after stating that the SDA church has a strong emphasis on the health of its members and others.
Amen, yes read it myself, amen amen.
People should tread lightly trying to keep a calm status quo, when God Himself is allowing agitation …
Pergunta: Alguma autoridade médica defendeu a posição de Ted Wilson na CG? Pastores não tem autoridade para decidir sobre esse tema de saúde e vacinas. obrigatórias! Mas se eles não tem autoridade para isso, como pode, em alguns setores da obra, se tornar obrigatória a terapia? A ordem veio do governo americano, com certeza!
Mas o que estraga um pouco, são alguns extremistas que falam bobagens, então são citados justamente esses poucos extremistas e não se toca no assunto sério que são as outras fontes de pesquisas cientificas recentes que revelam os perigos da terapia genetica!
A maior parte da igreja ainda não entendeu o que foi a PANDEMIA! Nesse sentido, dá um pouco de vergonha porque revela uma mentalidade restrita! Pensar fora da caixinha é quase proibido! Se você é contra a mRNA, então você é rotulado como um cristão ignorante ou antivacina!
E se comparamos o que outras autoridades médicas inteligentes apresentam e o que os alguns dirigentes afirmam… Isto é assustador!
Não seria mais simples de resolver? Bastava colocar uma autoridade médica da IASD se posicionando e se RESPONSABILIZANDO por qualquer dano das mRNA.
# Google translator:
Question: Did any medical authority defend Ted Wilson’s position at the GC? Pastors do not have the authority to decide on this issue of health and mandatory vaccines! But if they do not have the authority to do so, how can therapy become mandatory in some sectors of the work? The order came from the American government, for sure!
But what spoils things a bit are some extremists who talk nonsense, so these few extremists are cited and the serious issue of other sources of recent scientific research that reveal the dangers of gene therapy is not addressed!
Most of the church still does not understand what the PANDEMIC was! In this sense, it is a bit embarrassing because it reveals a restricted mentality! Thinking outside the box is almost forbidden! If you are against mRNA, then you are labeled as an ignorant or anti-vaccine Christian!
And if we compare what other intelligent medical authorities present and what some leaders say… This is scary!
Wouldn’t it be simpler to resolve? All that was needed was for an SDA medical authority to take a stand and take RESPONSIBILITY for any damage caused by mRNA.
L’homme a du mal à se repentir de ses erreurs,encore plus lorsque l’argent domine ses décisions
Sorry for so many repeat post the program kept bumping me out… but then it came across multiple times. Apologies.
It is interesting to note, that on day one, Wilson used a printed copy of the immunization statement to read from (VERSION 3) to press the delegates that the issue not be addressed.
You can hear it for yourself by going to the YouTube channel “Amazing Worship TV”, search for “Day 1”, and forward to the 2:57:00 time mark.
Then on Day 2 he quoted the “currently posted” statement (new VERSION 2), in contrast to the (old VERSION 1).
You can listen to this by going to the same YouTube Channel, search for “Day 2”, and forward to the 1:36:00 time mark.
What is interesting about these two snippets is that what Wilson read (VERSION 3), includes three elements “The Bible”, “the SOP”, and “informed by”. However, these three elements do not appear together in the “old” statement (VERSON 1), or in the “new” statement (VERSION 2).
You can verify this for yourself. There is a website which captures content at various dates from many websites. Our Church website is one of them.
You can find the old-statement (Pre General Conference) by going to:
(1) Wayback.archive.org
(2) In the dialogue box enter the website: “gc.adventist.org/official-statements/immunization”
(3) A calendar grid appears with little “dots” representing when a capture of the website was made.
(4) Select the entry in April-15-2025 to see the old statement.
(5) Click on the time that appears in the drop-down-window.
(6) Do steps 1-3 and select July 4-2025 (and a time) for the current “in Session” statement (or just go to the website for the current),
Here is the Old statement (VERSION 1) from (5) above:
“The Seventh-day Adventist Church places strong emphasis on health and well-being. The Adventist health emphasis is based on biblical revelation, the inspired writing of E.G. White (co-founder of the Church), and on peer-reviewed scientific literature. As such, we encourage responsible immunization/vaccination, and have no religious or faith-based reason not to encourage our adherents to responsibly participate in protective and preventive immunization programs. We value the health and safety of the population, which includes the maintenance of “herd immunity.”
We are not the conscience of the individual church member, and recognize individual choices. These are exercised by the individual. The choice not to be immunized is not and should not be seen as the dogma nor the doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
This statement was voted by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Administrative Committee in Silver Spring, Maryland, April 15, 2015.”
And here is the”NEW” July 4-2025 Statement (VERSION 2) [From (6) above]:
“The Seventh-day Adventist Church places strong emphasis on health and well-being. The Adventist health emphasis is based on the Bible, the inspired writings of Church co-founder Ellen G White, and is informed by peer-reviewed scientific health literature. As such, we encourage responsible immunization/vaccination, and have no religious or faith-based reason not to encourage our adherents to responsibly participate in protective and preventive immunization programs. We value the health and safety of the population, which includes the maintenance of what is known as “herd immunity.”
We are not the conscience of the individual church member, and we recognize individual choices. These choices are exercised by the individual. Refusal of immunization is not and should not be seen as a teaching nor a doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
This statement was voted by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists Administrative Committee in Silver Spring, Maryland, April 15, 2015.”.
You can compare these statements automatically using an online tool by visiting text-compare.com, where you can paste both versions.
You can clearly see that the “three things” quoted on day one, do not appear together in either statement.
This clearly demonstrates that there is currently no meaningful oversight to what has appeared in the gc.adventist.org/official-statements section of the website.
This section of the website should be in another portion of the website and labeled: “Recommended for adoption at the next General Conference Session”. Where a fulsome review may be conducted.
La GC aurait mieux fait de s’abstenir de commentaires,car celà à été très préjudiciable à beaucoup de membres.
