The church perpetuates these issues by staying with its typical institutional SDA  agenda and ignoring biblical verse/principles that address them. There are many pew warmers who feel offended or uncomfortable because topics like these will push their memory buttons and since they have not dealt with forgiveness or addressed wrongs properly will freak out with haunting memories. Some will even gripe to pastors or elders because they say dealing with these real life issues is psycho-babel. The other point I would make is how can 30-120 weekly minutes of Adventist pom pom waving or  inept teaching  counter the balance of 7000 weekly minutes of worldly exposure by modern media?

And how much pull do the major worldly/carnal SDA tithe /offering givers have at the local church?
