QUOTE(princessdi @ Apr 12 2007, 11:11 AM) [snapback]191112[/snapback] Actually, he pastored at least one church( I want say it was two, but not sure) that I know of in Northern California Conference. He and his wife are very nice people. They actually lived near my Mom in a small city so she saw them quite often in the stores, etc. He and his wife also used to visit our church on their rare weeks off. Let me say that he is also. He and Doug Bachelor participated and a round table discussion program with R. C. House and other denominational leaders. I was really proud of them, the did quite well! I absolutely do not believe JL is evil. I think he is a good and extremely knowledgeable man. However, we all make bad choices. It is those thimes when the enemy convinces us that we have gone too far. I just think this move to 3ABN started apositive, but is now a negative. I tend to agree with you di. i think danny pushed J.L. into a position that he was just not qualified for or expecting, but he has had plenty of time to rethink that, don't you think?.

It used to be, messages that were given by our pioneers were wrenched from the depths of the heart by the Holy Spirit. Humor was not added to get that laugh of entertainment. Drama was not introduced behind the sacred desk to glue your attention. Man's Rationale has replaced a cry for God's wisdom."

QUOTE(watchbird @ Apr 12 2007, 02:42 PM) [snapback]191155[/snapback] Since I have not personally been to the 3abn campus, the address "Angel Lane" is quite meaningless to me.... and possibly it is to many others also. So perhaps you would tell us more about its location. I think we have some of the history of the building that is now the church already posted on BSDA. Perhaps someone would be so kind as to look that up and post its url. I'd also like to know what you know about the "history" of "Angel Lane". It is from many people's bits and pieces of information that we are best able to construct the most complete picture. Oh my - sorry. My bad to assume everyone is familiar with the campus. Note the attached map - which I found on the 3ABN website, before anyone accuses me of making it up...  See how 3ABN HQ is about 10 miles off of Interstate 57 on State Highway 149 and Charley Good Road? Note how Highway 149 continues on to its end when it runs into Highway 34? The distance between 3ABN HQ and the end of Highway 149 is a mile, maybe two. Now, see how Angel Lane connects Highway 149 and Highway 34? See how it cuts of a mile or two of driving between the 3ABN HQ and the Uplink Center? This is probably the nicest, most well kept road in the county. The 3ABN apartments mentioned in other threads on this forum are on Angel Lane, as is the home Melody used to live in. Now, three guesses who "built" this road and who "named" it... BTW, the old church which is apparently now in use by the Baptists, is about 2/3 of the distance between I-57 and 3ABN HQ on Highway 149 (closer to 3ABN), so probably 3 miles away...

Twenty buck Aletheia will not last three days without her BSDA 3abn fix. Anybody want to take that bet? You are addicted to this topic like the rest of us.
Oh..and by the way, I can see you when you are on Anonymously. Hi Cindy QUOTE(Aletheia @ Apr 12 2007, 12:10 PM) [snapback]191111[/snapback] Ok Noah's wife. In my opinion, Someone who cannot understand the legal ramifications of slander and libel in regards to what they and their fellow accusers have done here, and on the save 3ABN site, etc. has no business questioning the ethics, morals, of anyone, or asking me, or 3ABN if we understand the the legal ramifications here. He has presented himself as Counsilor, adviser, and advocate, and would be far better served looking in the mirror and asking first hmself that, and then Linda and her defenders, and the rest of the 3ABN accusers. For as far as I am concerned they are without excuse. I won't be further drawn into UGLY. And am putting myself on a 3 day leave. Good bye |

Hi Cindy See now, Calvin, I think I tried to tell her this a couple of weeks ago............but then she was posting, too! It was the address FTP. On Angel Road. The church is on 3ABN property. It moved from it's old location onto the property of 3ABN. See the map so graciously provided by Snoopy. QUOTE(from-the-pew @ Apr 12 2007, 01:31 PM) [snapback]191162[/snapback] I am not sure what I'm supposed to be able to tell from the Thompsonville church website. That is the generic template for church websites that most Adventist Churches are being encouraged to use. (see http://www.adventistchurchconnect.com/ ). The only thing that looks very specific there is the 'Contact Us' page with the pastor's name, street address, etc. Having seen this template many a time, I personally see nothing on the church website as evidence either way.  If y'all are seeing something on that website that I'm not, do enlighten, please! -------------------- TTFN

I am not sure if this matters but I was told that Angel Lane was a gravel road until a single donor had it paved. It was a donor that has been seen singing on 3ABN. |

QUOTE(Fran @ Apr 12 2007, 02:49 PM) [snapback]191129[/snapback] http://thompsonville22.adventistchurchconnect.org/ This is the Thompsonville Church Web Site. You tell me. Is this representative of a church, or is this a Qusck, Quack, Waddle, Waddle, Duck, Duck, 3ABN, 3ABN church. Decide for yourself. I was a little surprised when I went to the web site, and found that it did not mention 3ABN, but did advertise for the Hope Channel under the media link. As a matter of fact, this seems to be a template, which other SDA Churches use. Here are some examples: (Note: some different graphics, but all the same links and style) http://mountvernon23.adventistchurchconnect.org/ http://saintelmo22.adventistchurchconnect.org/ http://streator22.adventistchurchconnect.org/ http://anderson22.adventistchurchconnect.org/ Sorry, I was catching up, and posted a response to Fran before reading all the replies This post has been edited by lookin4truth: Apr 12 2007, 06:33 PM |
