SDA Church - Cult or True Religion? page 3

Conclusion

I did not leave the church environs because of the people who failed, to my mind, to live the life they should have - practiced what they preached - but they were certainly an influence in my reaching that decision.

A minister once said that I shouldn't fault the church members for not living up to my expectations - a poor excuse, I think, for people failing to follow their churches teachings! If you don't live it, get out of the church!

I personally believe that the Seventh-day Adventist church is a cult. It strongly discourages its members from associating with anyone outside the faith, restricts access to the outside world [what members watch, read, listen to], and sets itself aside as "saved" and a "special people".

From cradle to the grave, one could live within the confines of this restrictive group, and never speak to, or get to know, a non-Adventist. With the Adventist churches, publishing house, schools, hospitals, radio and TV broadcasts, food manufacturers, youth groups, they are for the most part self-sufficient.

I believe that my mother did the best she could, although her choice of religion damaged me to a certain extent, for several years. Good friends, and a good counselor have done wonders to help me get over those early years.
