  God can't even change people if they don't want it. A lot of wishful thinking out there. Only 5% of dieters are successful. Most homeless don't want change. What did you bail out of, just being a clergy? You are here on this site, so still involved  at something. Jesus worked with just a few men. Made effective use of time. I put my effort in what I think are key areas. I don't care about WO, LGBT, IJ, EGW, or TW. I take on ministers, homiletics, clichés/platitudes and try to promote communication through polls, surveys, reviews, feedback. People at church talk to me..candidly.
  
  All SDA churches need reduction in fanaticism and increase in accountability.
  
  BTW..... attitude = reality/expectations.
