Comment on CCC Requests “Decisive and Conclusive Resolution” from LSU by Sean Pitman.
Maybe the General Conference will take notice now that the Michigan Conference Exec. Com. action has been backed up by a similar request for action and a conclusive resolution of the LSU conflict from the Central California Conference Exec. Com.? Remember also the recent request to re-evaluate the wording of SDA FB#6 by the Northern California Conference to more definitively establish the SDA position on a literal 6-day creation week.
Portions of the Church community are starting to wake up to the seriousness of the challenge to the Pillars of the SDA faith being presented by LSU. Perhaps it would be good for all SDA conferences to make their voices heard in a similar manner on this important challenge to fundamental Pillars of the SDA Faith within our own institutions of “higher” learning…

Review of “The Naked Emperor” by Pastor Conrad Vine
I fail to see where you have convincingly supported your claim that the GC leadership contributed to the harm of anyone’s personal religious liberties? – given that the GC leadership does not and could not override personal religious liberties in this country, nor substantively change the outcome of those who lost their jobs over various vaccine mandates. That’s just not how it works here in this country. Religious liberties are personally derived. Again, they simply are not based on a corporate or church position, but rely solely upon individual convictions – regardless of what the church may or may not say or do.
Yet, you say, “Who cares if it is written into law”? You should care. Everyone should care. It’s a very important law in this country. The idea that the organized church could have changed vaccine mandates simply isn’t true – particularly given the nature of certain types of jobs dealing with the most vulnerable in society (such as health care workers for example).
Beyond this, the GC Leadership did, in fact, write in support of personal religious convictions on this topic – and there are GC lawyers who have and continue to write personal letters in support of personal religious convictions (even if these personal convictions are at odds with the position of the church on a given topic). Just because the GC leadership also supports the advances of modern medicine doesn’t mean that the GC leadership cannot support individual convictions at the same time. Both are possible. This is not an inconsistency.
