Comment on Conrad Vine Continues to Attack Church Leadership by J. Bess Kelley.
Dr. Pitman – This thorough and thoughtful article is very much appreciated. It is, as your website indicates, a source of truth and a resource for education. You have saved many of us, who teach and are leaders, many hours of reviewing the literature and formulating an educated response. These are certainly distractions of the enemy keeping us occupied, using our precious time battling attacks from within, instead of giving our attention to the work at hand. Thank-you for your work on this website.
“It is not the opposition of the world that we have to fear, but it is the elements that work among ourselves that have hindered our message.” We can be comforted that “Christ stands at the helm.”EGW 1888 Mat pgs 1108 & 1129

Review of “The Naked Emperor” by Pastor Conrad Vine
I am a recently retired, RN, MS who led in hospital programs and nursing education in academic and clinical settings. I now volunteer as a medical missionary gospel worker.
I greatly appreciate your analysis as it calmly articulates my response to these narratives which have widely captured the sentiments of sincere members in the local churches where I serve. I have personally found the continuing ramped up rhetoric inflammatory, exaggerated and divisive. Sadly, the views have been taken up by local leaders and the videos widely shared, fanning the flames of disunity, discontent, and even anger in some instances. The results that I have witnessed, are taking the focus off the grand truths of the three angels’ messages and everlasting gospel and the critical events that will usher in Christ’s second coming.
I do believe sharing in the manner that you and Pastor Hamstra have done are helpful. It gives me a rational reference to share with others of differing viewpoints when the topic comes up.
May God bless your ministry.
Review of “The Surge” with Dr. Lela Lewis and Friends
Wish I was aware of your site months ago. This analysis is excellent. So much damage done, lives lost, disability, long COVID, etc. The large seminar (with many of the same speakers) recently held in Phoenix. in Jan was during a local hospital surge. This was not the best witness to have hundreds of unmasked, unvaccinated people (mostly SDA) in an enclosed space while HCWs are scrambling to provide care. Thankful for your perspective.
