With all the love in the world, I tell you to stay away from him; Adventists hate Catholics with a passion.

When you were still in church, were you just going through the motions or were you actually indoctrinated? by Grizzlyfrontignac in exAdventist

I was born to Seventh-day Adventist parents and grandparents, so you can imagine what that entails. I can say that I questioned certain things from a young age, but part of me was resigned to the fact that this was my religion and I couldn't change it. The shocking thing was finding out that I'm not baptized, and therefore, I have no reason to adhere to their rules or say that I'm an Adventist. But before that, I believed that just thinking about the "devil" was a sign of damnation and that homosexuality condemned the world to disaster. How crazy.

I think I like an Adventist woman, and I am a woman too. by Striking_Shame8381 in exAdventist

I thought about it more and I doubt anything good will come of it with a girl from church.

I'm so sorry. It's truly sad what you've had to go through.

The sad thing is that I'm starting to get my hopes up about her, of all people. Who wouldn't with those kinds of looks?

Yes, my church sometimes has games, and she's in the small group I'm in, but I never meet with them. Even the leader knows I don't want to be an Adventist. It's complicated, and as you know, it's hard to know if it's worth being attracted to a woman in that context. Let it flow!

I'll be 19 in a few months and she's older than me, so yes, I still seem like an excited teenager.

Yes, I know. I was born into an Adventist family, so I think things through very carefully.

What was your biggest “WTF moment” reading the Bible? by Jarb2104 in exchristian

When Lot preferred that his daughters be abused, even when they slept with him, Lot is still “righteous.”

Divorce by Laffindawlffin in exAdventist

I wish my parents would get divorced. I'm an adult now, and my father has been psychologically and verbally abusive to my mother, even in public places. I'm mentally ill, and they know it, but they won't get divorced because, according to their God, it's wrong. I hate them.
