The Dire Consequences of a Renegade General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists

By Arnie Suntag

The pandemic has without a doubt brought to light some of the darkest aspects of humanity, and many who outwardly profess to have a heartfelt relationship with Jesus Christ and publicly espouse the principles that underlie the Advent movement, are unfortunately among the worst offenders. Case in point: the collusion and intimidating tactics employed by the leadership at the last General Conference Session when the subject of Covid-19 and vaccine mandates were brought forward by the delegates. This most notably includes Ted Wilson's effort to stonewall any discussions on the matter, and his apparent disregard for the gravity of the situation created by the GC's official statements and the impact these have had on the lives of millions of church members.

So, why then have so many in our church acquiesced? How did we get here? How did we, as a people, lose sight of common-sense realities and allow authoritarian government and church leadership to peddle falsehoods, promote flawed narratives, and dictate how we are to live our lives? While the answer is not simple, it is actually apparent from historical precedent. It is about indoctrination. It is about a gradual submersion into a Marxist-Leninist ideology introduced over the past several decades through our educational institutions, the media, and the entertainment industry. Nonsense you say? Conspiracy theory? Just try to rationalize the behavior of an individual who is double-masked while hiking on a trail in the middle of the forest - something I have actually witnessed myself a number of times.

This kind of conditioned, deeply ingrained behavior is as far away from any credible scientific basis as the earth is from Neptune. But it was embraced and practiced to a fault. How can this possibly happen? The fact is, people have been subliminally trained to adopt the narratives established by "trusted" institutions such as the medical establishment, the media, and government agencies that they believe have their best interests at heart, even if it flies in the face of reason. They especially trust their church organizations and leadership, since they are, in their own assessment, insulated from worldly ideologies. This has unfortunately led to a rash of inverted thinking, along with aberrant and irrational behavior. Critical thinking has become nearly extinct. Facts do not matter anymore - the dominant narrative has supplanted the truth.
