BELOW IS THE TESTIMONY OF JARED SOWDERS - A LAODICEAN WHO REMOVED MY COMMENTS TO HIS POSTS ON FB CONCERNING HIS RETURN TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF SDA; WHERE HE IS NOW EMPLOYED.
I quote:
"Testimony: Why I left the independent "present truth" churches?
I left the independent movements & went back to the Conference because of the enlightenment of the Nine Volumes of the Testimonies. This isn't a rushed statement, I have weighed this out in my readings and watched closely the fruit of these movements.
I thought reading the history would confirm me in the independent movements. However, the exact opposite occurred. I now understand the importance of the question asked by Jesus, "How readest thou?" If you read things with a certain preconceived narrative you will end up believing something that never occurred.
I couldn't find a reference to James Edson White hammering the Pope and the Conference week after week. Nor could I find a "school of the prophets," training persons to gain a following by taking videos of the church apostasy and attacking our "weaker" brethren. When I looked into the life of Moses, he was willing to die and be blotted out even for the liberal church! He didn't start his own nation.
It is such an absurd thought to compare Christ's method alone which brings true success verses a characterized method of strife, criticism, and debate to gain a following.
Moreover, I had waited two sessions to go door to door or do some type of evangelism at the school which never occurred, besides when I left. It was just Adventist baptizing other Adventist for the most part.
I am pleased to say I am grateful for how the Lord led me & how He taught me to follow Him, instead of man. I cannot support or condone these movements any longer. There is no hard feelings towards any of them. I care for them dearly. But after my studies I have seen where I have erred in dealing with individuals. I used to be so kind, compassionate, and merciful before going to this school and listening to certain unbalanced videos, yet I was firm as a rock...but I will return to this by God's grace.
I want to apologize to everybody I have been too harsh with or have drew into an argument. This was not right. Nor the enormous amounts of posting about specific religious movements.
I am thankful that I joined back with the local Conference and I have been a full time hired Bible worker there for some months now and it has been such a blessing. No longer will I involve myself in these church politics, unless needed.
Let us pray for all parties involved"
End of quote
P.S. Below are my comments, you my facebook friends are free to criticize for or against in the Spirit of Christ I would respect your freedom of opinion and I will not block you or remove what you write. God bless.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...

MRS WHITE QUOTES ON THE 1888 MESSAGE REJECTION

1. “The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones.” — TM p. 91. 2. “God gave to His servants a testimony that presented the truth as it is in Jesus, which is the third angel’s message, in clear distinct lines” — TM p. 93. 3. “The message of the gospel of His grace was to be given to the church in clear and distinct lines, that the world should no longer say that Seventh-Day Adventists talk the law, the law, but do not teach or believe Christ. The efficacy of the blood of Christ was to be presented to the people with freshness and power.” — TM p. 92. 4. “This is the very work which the Lord designs that the message He has given His servants, shall perform in the heart and mind of every human agent….God gave to His messengers just what the people needed.” — TM p. 95. 5. “The Lord would have these grand themes studied in our churches, and if every church member shall give entrance to the word of God it will give light and...

Summary Conclusion on the Righteousness of God

It is true to say that the Righteousness of God is the Law of God proper, it is equally true to say that it is Christ’s perfect obedience to the Law, for Christ is God, and all His historical obedience was righteousness. To claim that all God’s salvific administration towards sinful humanity is the Righteousness of God is to be on target, for so also do the scriptures speak. But what is the Righteousness of God that is imputed to us? What is the Righteousness of God that is given to us in Justification and is our salvation? It is none of the Righteousness of God we have referred to above. What we are looking for is a Righteousness of God that is without the Law, that is, a Righteousness of God that is APART FROM the Law of works, a Righteousness of God that is DIFFERENT to the Ten Commandments, this is the Righteousness of God that we are given in Faith for our Justification and salvation. The scriptures of the First and Second Witnesses speak of this unique Righteousness whi...
