Bystander, I have a number of questions for you in relation to your "critique".
It is my hope to address them with an unedited version, of said critique, to work with.  BRB... QUOTE(Bystander @ Jan 7 2007, 03:47 PM) [snapback]168151[/snapback] I am a new addition to this forum. Not because I want to be but because I cannot keep silent. Someone told me about this websight but I couldn't comprehend it so checked it out myself. My first thoughts were that this was a nice SDA page. I began to scroll down to check out the headings. Beliefs of the Adventist church, activities, family topics, meetings being held and then shockingly "the 3ABN saga!!! I cannot begin to explain my shock and shame as I began to read what has been written here. The accusations, arguments, name calling and gossip has made me ashamed to be a Seventh Day Adventist. That a supposedly christian web site would host this garbage, and some of these people's comments is without excuse. this "forum" goes against any and all biblical principles and moral ethics. I have read of an "investigation" of 3ABN and it's people by someone named Pickle and Gailon. They have shown private emails, made info from private calls public, have insisted on answers from the president of the network, Danny Shelton, and have made statements that they would like to clear 3ABN if only they could get straight and clear answers. Well, I have some questions of my own. Who are Pickle and Gailon? What authority do they have to question and investigate anything or anybody? Who, if anyone, put them in charge and gave them the right to dig into anyone's personal lives? The old saying fits here, "who died and left them in charge." Do they have special credentials that I am ignorant of. I have seen even legal topics explained and assessed and told what this or that means in that instance like we were children and they were law proffessors. I have read continually their opinions on something they have read or heard and then stated as fact. As in, " Joe didn't answer Mary's question so obviously this means that Joe is trying to hide the fact that he did ect. ect... My second question would be " are we as a people that hungry for gossip and dirt that we would spend hours on end not only reading this drivel but adding our little 2 cent comments as to the guilt or innocence of people that we have never met and know nothing about except for the pictures that have been painted here. Worse than our comments is our judgements. We are making judgements here that are destroying people, families, and a world wide ministry on gossip, discussions and heresay by people that have no more power or authority that you or I. This divorce that I keep reading about between Danny & Linda Shelton means what..... Howmany of you readers out there have been divorced. How many of you have had a "bitter" divorce? How many of you that answered yes to those 2 questions would like it posted and publisized for all the world to see? Now add to that the rumors and "tall tales" that were told on you from your ex's side then combine that with the "tall tales" that came from your side against your ex then multiply that tenfold by the time it got retold 100 hundred times and what you will come up with is the "black sda web site of "the saga of 3ABN." Do the people involved headlong in this, not have lives of their own? Do they not have problems of their own that they should be working on? Obviously that have big problems or they wouldn't be wasting time destroying everything and everybody in their path. I have read several excerpts about accusations made by a church of God minister against one of the Shelton Brothers. According to this forum that makes it gospel. The irony of this is that normall we as Adventists turn up our nose at another denomination, especially the minister of another denomination and usually give them no credibility whatsoever. Now because statements from him give us the "supposed dirt" we long to hear, he has all the crediblity in the world. What a laugh on our own people. I understand that both Shelton parents are dead, the father for over 30 years, and yet, accusations, harsh comments and judgements have flew over the internet against people that not only you have never met, but are deceased and not here to defend themselves. This is a sin against God. 3 or 4 people are relaying horrible things on the world wide internet and say that they got some info from someone else who heard it from someone else and so...it must be true and fact.The way I see it, these people that are in the limelight are victims not the enemy. Just as movie stars are attacked and lied and gossiped about in the secular world, so it is with the people that have been involved in the works of 3ABN. In our adventist denomination they were the "stars" and we, we are the writers of the "Enquirer" and "The Star" gossip magazines. We are starved for every little morsel on these people's lives whether it be true or false. We have a secret jealous need to take them down because they had some popularity and were in the limelight. How sad that we overlook the fact that they were in the limelight because they were spreading the gospel to all the world. People on this forum,....how low have we fallen to be pulled into this blasphemous nonsense? If 3ABN is having problems my guess would be that most of it is from what is being written here and on other sites. The bible tells us that we are to turn a deaf ear to gossip, rumors and assumptions and instead pray for the people in question that may be going through a difficult time. Think dear people how many of these problems might have already been resolved if we would have spent as much time on our knees in behalf of all of these people as we have spent attacking, discussing and arguing over them on this web site. A Bystander It would seem your credibility is, shall we say, questionable. -------------------- WELCOME to BlackSDA from seraph|m, a BSDA Charter member.
