Rotorua Seventh-day Adventist Academy in New Zealand Prominently Displays Ancien …
What was once condemned as idolatrous and sacrilegious is now part of Adventist education. On February 8, 2023, the Rotorua Seventh-day Adventist Academy in Rotorua, New Zealand, invited the Indigenous Aboriginal Australian team to share their ancient culture traditions through dancing with the Adventist youth.

AdventHealth Sponsors the Blasphemous Jesus Christ SuperStar Musical, which Depi …
After partnering with the "Wicked" witches event, you would have thought that AdventHealth's corporate sponsorships couldn't get any worse, but they just did. When a group, institution, or organization hits rock bottom, one would think they would at least begin to climb out of the pit. But unfortunately, that is not happening. AdventHealth has now started digging even deeper and deeper into blasphemy and apostasy.
AdventHealth is now sponsoring the Jesus…
The New ADRA and Hope Channel Clowns, "Where Jokes and Laughter Work Hand in Han …
The Seventh-day Adventist faith was established by Christ, not a bunch of clowns. But it now seems that Bozo the Clown has been given the task of carrying out the mission of Jesus Christ in the world. Today, we now have ADRA and Hope Channel clowns whose job is to act like fools, literally. These comedians are constantly making jokes and acting like buffoons wherever they go. They are called…

On March 10, 2023 we talked to Pastor Andrew Henriques about NCU's Xaymaca Cultural Festival. These displays are happening throughout Adventism because we are in the Omega of Apostasy. The good news is that there was a protest from the people. We praise the Lord for the small Remnant that will never bow their knees to this type of Baal worship.

"The time was when Protestants placed a high value upon the liberty of conscience which had been so dearly purchased. They taught their children to abhor popery and held that to seek harmony with Rome would be disloyalty to God. But how widely different are the sentiments now expressed!" (Great Controversy, p. 563).

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…

"We have to Demolish the Barriers," Declares a Seventh-day Adventist Pastor Duri …
Do we believe in the Catholic doctrine that at the time of death the soul travels to purgatory, a place of suffering or purification, before entering heaven? Apparently, some of our pastors have no objections to the idea of souls being purified in purgatory. On February 26, 2023, the official magazine of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ragusa, Sicily, called "Insieme," published a story about an interfaith celebration that took…

Why AdventHealth Won't Change: A Local Newspaper Posts a Photo of AdventHealth A …
The AdventHealth Administration team was depicted in a picture by The Sentinel Echo on November 19, 2022, as characters from The Wizard of Oz, one of whom was dressed as a witch. Remember, these are administrators, not just nurses or regular employees. Why should we believe that the administration team at AdventHealth will stop funding and supporting witchcraft productions if they are themselves dress up as witches?
The bigger question…
Seventh-day Adventist Children are being Groomed for the One-world Ecumenical Mo …
Why is it that the ecumenical movement is suddenly obsessed with including kids? Do they want to give children the idea that the modern ecumenical movement is mainstream, wholesome, fun and normal? Ecumenism is uniting the churches into one body. The goal is to bridge our religious differences, and children are being targeted and manipulated to accomplish this very purpose.
On Friday, December 16, 2022, at an ecumenical gathering in Chiapas,…

AdventHealth and North American Division President G. Alexander Bryant have commented on the church's support of the Broadway production show "Wicked." However, be careful not to get your hopes up.

The General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists filed a Three-count Federal Law …
Seventh-day Adventism is no longer a belief system that is defined by our sincerely held religious convictions. No, the term "Seventh-day Adventism" now refers to a federally protected trademark that describes what state-approved building you worship in.

When Adventist Churches Serve as Polling Stations for Voters During the 2022 US …
When did Seventh-day Adventist Churches become political polling centers for voters to cast their ballots during our US elections? When did Jesus say, "Teach all nations, baptize them and register them to vote?" There is a reason why, from the very beginning, the church has devoted its time winning souls for Christ. There is a reason why Seventh-day Adventists established schools, sanitariums, churches, and publishing houses but not political campaigns.…

It is a new Catholic climate war to politically, spiritually, environmentally, and economically transform our world. At COP27, Catholic organizations are putting pressure on political and religious leaders from around the world to take action.
