Each cult ministry is like a "church family" of its own. And each "family" gets massive affirmations for their validity and self identity. Since the official SDA church has no "self identity" that it can express or maintain and has opted for Pluralism, that negates any basis for discipline of those who attack "the church".

There is no "self discipline" at the top, and thus no possible member discipline on down the line. We could probably name at least 10 ministries that are a "self church" and each has an agenda to correct church errors and bring the church into line with the spirituality of that particular ministries spirituality.

So, Amazing Facts, 3ABN, Amazing Discoveries, Spectrum, Atoday, ADvindicate, Fulcrum 7, White Horse ministries, are just a few, and they often refuse any dialogue that would challenge their views. ADvindicate may be the most cult minded and self proclaimed and self protected to eliminate challenge. Kevin Paulson is worse than David Koresh.
