I hear ya. But it should be of no surprise and no shame that when any group is conscious of their doctrinal or experiencial distinctives, and a forum is actually *designed* around the celebration of those distinctives, that it would often emphasize those distinctives! Presumably, in a Seventh Day Adventist forum, your mission would be to convince them that that Sabbath keeping isn't necessarily part of the big picture, compared with fruit of the Spirit?
Which implies anything less than what you have in mind is not "REAL" impact! Will you go very far in your mission, using words such as "obsessed?"
Fair enough. Some day lemme know how that works out for ya...

You just gave me a great idea!!! I just logged onto
www.7thdayadventistfriendsforum.com and testified about the bacon I had for breakfast, and the awesome bbq pork sandwiches I had last night for dinner. I also told them I was excited about church tomorrow.
Bummer....I've been banned.
One of the definitions of "obsessed" is, "to think about something unceasingly or persistently." I see that as a positive.
I know that you and others didn't target an innocent lady. But when my dad taught me to shoot a gun, the first thing he said was, "Don't just concentrate on your target. You always have to think about what else you might hit."
