::Please try your hand at some other topics. CP discourages people who have a strong theological dislike of this Christian church or that one which prevents them from an objective assessment and inclines them to attack it. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 21:35, 10 July 2009 (EDT)

"Objective assessment" is precisely the problem. If that was the real issue, then why was the article not targeted before when it was basically a advertisement for the SDA? Seeking to add balance, i added countering links to its obviously pro sda links. And then i added history, of which it really had none, which referenced the diligent research of Martin and his conciliatory conclusion that the SDA was not a cult, or cultic, but a heterodox, essentially  Christian denomination. Necessary distinctions were then made btwn the 2 basic divisions which are manifest today. The Further reading section could have been neutral, if had been already. It is hardly fitting or balanced to have only basically positive info of SDA, especially when it has truly problematic doctrines. Should this be done with the [[Jehovah's Witnesses]], and should the Controversy section on the [[Mormons]] be eliminated? If anything it is too brief. At least clearly reference some opposing views, esp. the historical summation work by Samples. Thanks[[User:Daniel1212|Daniel1212]] 22:06, 10 July 2009 (EDT)

::Sigh.  Daniel, you know I admire your abilities, and how throughly you document your additions, right?  In today's world, with literally the barbarians at the gate, wanting to destroy Christianity, and the entire western world, do you really think this is the time to hone your skills on how different Christian's are from each other?  Or would you be willing to concede that perhaps for the good of all, that isn't of the greatest import right now?  Don't you think Jesus would prefer us concentrating on the positive, how we are all alike, how we should join together to defeat the agents of Satan? I know I am clear in my heart what He would like from us....I pray you are too.  --[[User:TK|'''ṬK''']]_{<small><small>/Admin</small></small>}^{[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]} 00:43, 11 July 2009 (EDT)
