My parents many..., 08-06-2009

Review:My parents many years ago were informed about the true seventh day sabbath thru the ministry of your church. Myself and two sisters became later mebers of the church following our parents footsteps. As I grew older I felt something was not right with your claims of sabbath observance and perfectionism. I knew the seventh day to be the true sabbath, yet, I felt oppressed by the rigidity of your pastors, the lack of true christian love and dependence on grace for salvation. The reform church in other words, was a church of works for salvation. From rigid dress order for the ladies to strict vegetarianism, everything you did looked to me as works that were preached from your pulpits. Ministers and lay men spyed on members to see if they were fulfilling all the ordinances of the church. While this was happening, the true adventist church was accused of breakers of the law and called a Big Church. To this day I see the Adventist Church fulfilling the propecy as God's last day people, and I am glad I joined it at the age of 21, just before I came to hte USA.
I realized years later that the rigidity of your leadership towards the members was caused by the nature of some of your pioneers, men who were raised in European countries under comunism. Those men came to Brasil and other places, they brought with them the harsheness they had learned under comunism.In looking up a video of the last GC realized in Korea by your church, I noticed the sadness with which all of the atendees presented themselvs in every meeting. They seemed to not have encountered in all the years the happiness that means to know the Lord. Meanwhile the Adventist church marches on and is the head in ministering tothe world the three angels message.
