In this part of the world, Spirit of Prophecy (SoP) is “least heeded” in churches. The church school teachers who were educated probably at an adventist college do not even value the teachings and practices of the SoP, for themselves don’t even practise them by themselves. For example, vegetarianism, dress reform, Sabbath reform, how to train the youth to follow the admonitions of the SoP (like no competitions, etc.), these things even the most enthusiastic of the so-called missionary-minded and probably are “since-birth” adventist young adults don’t even totally know about and how much more to practice them in their lives. The shepherds (pastors) taught in our churches that these teachings are from the off-shoots, so we should not listen to them. See, how these shepherds are themselves do not practice these reforms within the church! and even worse, preventing church members to learn about them because these teachings are from the off-shoots, and are optional because these are but counsels, which are “obsolete” with so many excuses imposed. If I can only give experience myself about these things in the churches in this part of the world, you would be shocked to know that most adventists here and church schools are so worldly. No longer conservative. What the unbelievers do on stage are tolerated even in the church schools themselves. That’s why some faithful Adventist parents rather choose other schools to send their children to.

Well, we should not be surprised about this anymore, cause the SoP has told us that the one of the last deceptions of Satan to the professed people of God is to no longer believe in the Testimonies, the Spirit of Prophecy.
