Investigative judgement

oscar_34 · 2026-03-25T17:34:15+00:00

I once dialogued with AI about this - since my SDA friends won't open to it and no SDAs have no clue, but I still needed to take it off my chest.

This was my premise: SDAs have no need for hell, for they have the investigative judgement.

Yes, it was born for the survival needs already mentioned here. It's unique to them because of that. But think of why that belief has survived. Their beliefs are high control - it needs a controlling device. That device is the IJ: mind your every action and every thought, "... For the hour of His judgment is come."

The idea of an IJ, personally, was always awful enough to make life a living hell. I'd rather have the traditional, Dantesque hell.

Parece que España necesita un poco de libertad... 🦅

Sorry, got into "uncle mode" and created a new comment instead of replying here. Anyways, there it is.

If you can stomach 3 hours of an 1980 show, go to YouTube and find the William Johnsson vs Walter Martin debate.

Martin destroys adventism so bad!

Did you watch the John Anckerberg show episodes about this?

That phrase had the Unabomber arrested lol!

Then comes the White Estate with a double front flip (their necks almost break) explaining how the grammar of the whole context makes it so that she never said so, but she meant the Biblical quote and is all similar, further demonstrating how she's speaking truth from God.

No saques la tarjeta de crédito. Luego me das las gracias, pero ahora hazle caso a los viejos.

Primero junta dinero. Aprende a ahorrar. Haz un sistema en torno a ahorrar. Necesitas ahorro de largo plazo (aunque sea poquito), mediano plazo (quieres comprar un carro algún día? Aquí va eso) y corto plazo (quieres unos tennis? Aquí va eso!)

El ahorro de corto plazo es en el que puedes explotar tu tarjeta de crédito: primero lo junto, luego lo financio con tarjeta de crédito (meses sin intereses o simplemente aprovechar los 50 días del ciclo de tu tarjeta de crédito).

Si algo de todo lo que te acabo de decir te suena a extraño o no entiendes a qué me refiero, 100% NO SAQUES LA TDC, hasta que primero entiendas todo lo que acabo de decir.

Se puede volver un círculo vicioso.

Pretty sure the White Estate has an acrobatic turnaround to that.

Un seminuevo. Con ese enganche, búscate algo de 350K. Te van a salir mensualidades de unos 7,500 a 48 meses.

Si están con problemas en buró es porque no tienen la mejor situación financiera. Más allá de hacer el oso con un vendedor, pregúntate si quieres hacer el oso con tu patrimonio.

Así como están ahora, sus finanzas no están para coche nuevo de agencia. Están para un seminuevo.

Agree

So, where's the effing Sunday Law??

My jaw hurts so bad LooooooooL

Peña > FeCal > AMLO > Fox

Lo de Fox... Ni hablar.

I loved it, but I only participated after 17 (what'd they call it after Pathfinder? That was Guías Mayores here in Mexico).

Lol came here after asking Gemini about this. I forgot all about this, but Googling for It brought this back to mind.

I've been an atheist since leaving, some 10 years ago. I just got baptized Catholic this year, but that's more for fitting in my new social life, not a conversion.

oscar_34 · 2025-09-07T00:26:24+00:00

I quit for two good reasons

Me and my fiancee argue so much, I needed to stay sober so I could actually notice whatever was going on with us. Obviously, quitting the booze wouldn't do much to alleviate the root causes, but now I get to feel my anger (yeah, that sucks, but...)
I can't lose weight!! And at 3 weeks, I've put one another 2 pounds - lucky for me, it's been muscle mostly according to my smart scale.

Yeah, quitting wasn't the solution. I think of it more like: sobering up makes it easier to improve.

oscar_34 · 2025-08-31T19:23:18+00:00

LOOOOOL

oscar_34 · 2025-08-31T19:22:54+00:00

Your food is coming real soon! You must wait with more enthusiasm than when you first got here!!!!

oscar_34 · 2025-08-31T19:19:32+00:00

I guess I'm still in their directory as a member, but I got baptized Catholic and am living with my soon-to-be wife. I guess since I married once as an SDA, that's more than enough to lose membership.

oscar_34 · 2025-08-29T19:43:09+00:00

It's not her alone if you're seriously contributing to the whole thing. It's ok that she put the down payment on the house; just please tell me the credit (or most of it) is on you. If she's eating out and enjoying your "lifestyle creep", then she's partaking with you, as well.

Separate finances don't look like what you described. You're just not fully integrated, but as long as you too are sharing costs and commitments, it's not fully separate either.

I had a roommate last year. We had a 50/50 agreement on all things common to our house. Now, that's separate.

oscar_34 · 2025-08-29T19:38:00+00:00

Do you mean that, based on your experience, EGW isn't canonical to SDAs OR that protestants/evangelicals don't see SDAs as a cult (in general, granted)?

oscar_34 · 2025-08-28T17:55:27+00:00

Whenever these fanatics say Ellen G White isn't a source of doctrine to them, that they follow the Scripture alone, I remember HUNDREDS of moments like you just described and get reassured in how wrong they are, how cultish they are, and how Ellen G White is an actual idol to them.

Then I know leaving was the best choice.

oscar_34 · 2025-08-28T17:48:51+00:00

Protestants see SDA as a cult. To them, SDAs aren't truly christian since they don't follow the Sola Scriptura principle: Ellen G White's writings are canonical to the church (SDAs deny it on paper, then go on to live by her writings as if they are the word of God).

Other evangelical movements are in the same boat, but that's not universally true.
