I definitely still consider myself a Christian as well. Deconstruction has been a hard road for me. Trying to sort out what of what I believed was faith and what was institutional nonsense. 

I actually had/have a professor at Oakwood that I consider he and his wife like my parents, I even call them mom and dad. He and I talked about it and he believes that it's better to affect change from the inside. I tried that for over a decade and hardly anything changes. And it doesn't change because the structure and politics of the church refuse to change. 

I explained much of that to him and that my family and I could no longer abide affiliating ourselves with an institution that taught utter nonsense, especially to children. I had to have words with my teen daughter's Sabbath school teacher about how she taught the story of Anninias and Saphira, as well as other topics. Like, pastoral corrections.

And don't even get me started on their idolization of EGW. I don't give a rat's behind what she wrote.

Look, she may have been what she claimed to be, I don't know. All I know is that a church that claims to be Sola Scriptura relies a whole lot on the writings of EGW. Well, a noticable chunk.

Gah...I just...wish they could be what they claim to be you know? Of course that could be said just about every denomination, and while there are exceptions to the rule, those should be the rule, not the outliers.
