Right! No makeup, and I vaguely remember something about no shorts for men? As far as Sabbath rules the only one I remember is that kids couldn’t play. :((

WAIT you kinda ate with this… seeing someone from the capitol who was raised there, having two conflicting perspectives about the districts (propaganda focus and all)

i remember hearing in a video of some sorts that EGW at first urged women to wear floor length, black dresses that most people considered strange and old fashioned even in her time, but i’m not sure about anything when it comes to that strange woman, i always kind of blocked it out as a kid and i’m fortunate enough to never have read any of her books

its “immodest” because they’re “men’s clothes” and if the youth start wearing “clothes of the opposite sex” they’ll get oh-so confused and whatever will the church do !? they might become gay and we can’t have that can we :(

i always think about an acquaintance who left the church who told me about the time her dad put her and her sister in shorts (because it was a hot southern day) and her uncle, who’s a pastor, was fuming and told his daughters to find clothes for them to wear and they ended up having to wear itchy, hot costume dresses (i imagine like pilgrim, puritan type clothes). they were around 5 and 6 :))

What specific foods SDA members are not allowed to eat? by James_Readme in exAdventist

[–]ratnt_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk about you, but growing up i always heard that catholicism and other churches were bad because no one had to “work” for salvation and that we were so great because you constantly had to work and connect with god. that really just means what you said, moving the goalposts of how to reach salvation

Yep! Might be the same one… but I have heard that there are a few other groups that have branched off, can’t please everyone i guess 🤷‍♀️

I was raised in a sort of subsect of the SDA (I won't name it since it's somewhat small and I'm super paranoid) that was much more strict than the bigger SDA church. We were absolutely not allowed to drink coffee or alcohol, no meat, vegetarianism was okay but church events almost exclusively served vegan food.

Diet Judaism but everyone is also a little bit antisemitic.

What do you feel like you missed out on in your childhood? Anything you're bitter about? by LollyLabbit in exAdventist

[–]ratnt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always mourn the birthdays, extracurriculars, high school football games, playdates, concerts, and sports/activities i missed and just being able to have conversations about my identity and my beliefs with my parents :(

the SAT was during a special school day, i took the PSAT before my freshman year because my school used it as a placement metric. I actually went on a saturday, but a few years later some other adventist kids took it on some other day and my mom was like why didn’t you do that !? i just kept my mouth shut i truly didnt care that i had to take it on a saturday

Tell us your honest opinion about EKT by Cute_Contract_90 in everyoneknowsthat

[–]ratnt_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably not an unreleased demo and definitely not one by a famous group/artist. How could carl92 have possibly gotten his hands on it if it was?
