OBG – Slide Show: Adventist Status Symbols

Look what we dug up from the BarelyAdventist archive:)

Picture 1 of 11

Adventists are called to be sober, humble, meek, all while wearing little to no makeup or jewelry. But that doesn't mean they don't have their own ways of letting you know what's what or who's who.

    They are called ‘Honors’, not ‘badges’. Scouts get badges, pathfinders earn honors. So, as you noted in the photo caption, the more you have, the more ‘honorable’ you are.

    Sheesh.

      Nothing is expensive to me. I’m a billionaire like Stu Redman. And I’m so refined and elegant that I enjoy both kinds of music: Country AND Western. By the way, I’m not the least bit concerned about global worming.

      I’m not concerned about global wOrming, either. But I’m pretty concerned about global warming and the FBI’s “security inquiry” into my illegal e-mails.

    It’s ironic how similar the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to the Roman Catholic Church. The position of GC President is like an SDA Pope. Ironically, both have been vehemently opposed to Women’s Ordination and have taken an autocratic leadership style on that issue. Both “popes” are viewed as nearly infallible. The whole SDA hierarchy is like the Catholic hierarchy. Division presidents are like Vatican-based Cardinals. Union presidents are like field-based Cardinals. Conference presidents are like archbishops. Conference area leaders are like bishops. The GC president is the Pope, and tradition rules over the Bible in both of their realms. We could call it the GC Papacy. It is ironic that SDAs have traditionally criticized the papacy so harshly, when we are actually so much alike.

    Really , why do we call us Adventist? Can’t we just say SDA. Or are we afraid we will be confused with Latter Day Saints, LDS. Don’t worry they are proud as punch to be LDS, unlike us to be SDA. Second thought don’t mention we are SDA for fear someone will ask us about Daniel or Revelation or even EG White. Those are names we try not to mention in our periodicals. We wouldn’t want to seem too happy to be connected to these names. On the contrary , Lets just say we are the one project and leave it at that. That one project is one that doesn’t need any real explanation because there isn’t one available in church or polite conversation. Lets just leave it to the Jesuits. Name almost sounds just Jesus. Oh, Well lets just leave it.

    1. Ted Cruise

      Yeah, let’s leave it to the Jesuits. After all, there’s a Jesuit hiding under every rock, and several Jesuits hiding within every Adventist college faculty.
