I don’t want to bash the Seventh Day Adventists, but I don’t get how the cost of postage is worth the small number of people these wild brochures will interest.

Ex Seventh-Day Adventist here. I’ve never seen the church be particularly good at marketing. As long as I can remember, most of the few people we’d attract with our crazy long seminars would leave after a few months.

That said, my dad got into Adventism (and is still in it) because someone left one of these same books at a bus stop. He’s a fan of history and conspiracy books, and this book is a wild blend of the two.

Thanks, it’s been great chatting with other ex Adventists!

As a former member of the SDA church, feel free to bash them. This book is plagiarized from multiple sources by a woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury, mistook her seizures as visions from god, and taught people to hate themselves in order to be worthy of God’s love.
