Mike I believe that those sad stories should have stayed local, the worldwide church didn't need to know about them!!!  True,  the Bible does record some horrible stories,  but our Church, ESPECIALLY in North America is such a spiritually depressed area that we need stories to encourage us to get out of the pews and spread the gospel. We should be encouraging one another to use innovative methods to spread the gospel.  Where are the Jobs of our church who would  invest in worthwhile ministries,  Job didn't hide himself like wealthy SDAs do! Our main and primary concern should be finishing the gospel so that we can go home with Jesus. May God help us to get our priorities right before it is too late. How many responding to my comments understand that the papal wound is healed and that the Sunday law is about to be enforced? How many of you understand that once the Sunday law is enforced that probation will close  for us as a Church? Please research it for yourself too many lazy SDAs!!!
