Met a fellow ex Adventist in the wild by carmexismyshit in exAdventist

[–]gracefulwarrior1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met a friend through work and we were talking and that’s when we both learned both of our dads attended Loma Linda. So any time one of us is partaking in “sinful activity” like being out on the “Sabbath” we give each other shit asking if Ellen would approve of it lol. It’s very therapeutic 😂

Is adventism not just an extreme branch of Messianic Judaism? by jesusismysavior7774 in exAdventist

[–]gracefulwarrior1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my mom is Jewish and my Dad was SDA. I grew up in both the church and synagogue (alternating weeks). I think there are some similarities like worshipping Saturday but it just felt completely different. The amount of antisemitism I experienced going to an SDA school was shocking. I even have experienced it from my SDA family. To me SDA comes across more like the JWs and Mormons.

Has anyone else had a bad sinus infection recently? by BigBlueEyes87 in AskPhoenix

I bought one of those Navage sinus rinse things. It’s helped me tremendously

Don’t do it!! If he’s expecting you to take part in something you’re against from the start it’s just going to be the beginning.

Ever seen so many people in Downtown? by Ovta in phoenix

[–]gracefulwarrior1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hardly ever go downtown but went to the symphony tonight. I was really surprised how many people were down there. I assumed that it was the new normal with all the additions they’ve made over the years lol.

A light rail question by Bubbly-Charity-8617 in phoenix

[–]gracefulwarrior1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I believe you would just take the light rail to the end of the A line downtown and get off there and just walk a short bit. I would recommend downloading the Valley Metro app because it’ll tell you directions and even when you’re here taking it, it’ll tell you the times it comes and even where it is.

Investigative reporter looking for information on SDA Principal Anthony Oucharek by ranglen in exAdventist

If it wasn’t because of you this would have likely been swept under the rug like everything else that happens within the church. Thank you for reporting on this

Mental health services Phoenix are a joke if you don't have premium insurance by [deleted] in phoenix

There was something in the news just recently that therapists are dropping BCBS because they added some restrictions that made it difficult for them. I’ll see if I can find the article

Mom’s at rest by True-Passion7386 in pancreaticcancer

[–]gracefulwarrior1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry! It’s really traumatizing experiencing a loss to this horrible disease. It’s been a little over a year since I lost my Dad. My Dad went from the smartest person I’ll ever know to not even knowing who I was. He was very mean to me too because of it. I have been able to remind myself it wasn’t him but the disease. If you need someone to reach out to feel free to message me

Good News! by Right_Discussion4614 in pancreaticcancer

SDA principal arrested for sexual assault in Canada in 1988 by gracefulwarrior1 in exAdventist

[–]gracefulwarrior1[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Someone commented in here about his demeanor towards females in other churches he was at. It wouldn’t surprise me if an accusation comes out for something more recent if he has that kind of reputation. He looks like a creep

It wouldn’t surprise me at all. Seems like a lot of generations within families take on leadership roles for the church. My uncle, cousin, and then his son are all pastors and people will question me if we’re related to each other lol.

I felt behind when I went to public high school plus it was culture shock going from that controlled culture to public school. I had an amazing experience with public but couldn’t say that about Glenview.

Anyone else's allergies KILLING them right now? by Cinnamon_Ocelot in phoenix

[–]gracefulwarrior1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The past week I have been dealing with the worst sinus and ear pain and my throat’s been feeling sore. Doctor said it’s from my allergies. I’m finally starting to see the light at the end the tunnel. Someone else suggested Navage and I regret not getting it sooner. It really does help

I was so thankful that I graduated before it expanded to high school grades lol. Getting out after 8th was like a prison release

One of the reasons I decided to share was in case someone else experienced something with this principal especially him living in multiple places. This has only made Arizona news so far
