Early SDA Pseudo Blog/Links up to 2008
(updated 2008/6/11) (links fixed 2021)
I started this thinking that there would be news of interest to the saints coming out once or twice a week, but actually have not been able to find anywhere near that many. The links i'm adding today maybe aren't all that earth-shattering either, but they do bring a couple of things into focus or show potential to change society in dramatic ways.
These links are not necessarily endorsed 100% by the
webmaster, but they have been looked at and seem to offer either spiritual
support, warnings, or interesting ideas related to prophecy and how to
interpret the signs of the times. The description of each site is what i
thought about it. Anyone with ideas on anything related, please email me!!!

Recent News of Interest to the Saints
08/6/11 No free speech in Canada
The Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission says: "That Mr. Boissoin and The Concerned Christian Coalition Inc. shall cease publishing in newspapers, by email, on the radio, in public speeches, or on the internet, in future, disparaging remarks about gays and homosexuals. Further, they shall not and are prohibited from making disparaging remarks in the future about Dr. Lund or Dr. Lund’s witnesses relating to their involvement in this complaint. Further, all disparaging remarks versus homosexuals are directed to be removed from current web sites and publications of Mr. Boissoin and The Concerned Christian Coalition Inc."
Coming soon to a country with you!
06/04/06 Chief Rabbi calls for a UN of Religions
"The chief Rabbi of Israel, Yona Metzger, has called for the creation of a world body with representatives from the major religious groups."
Just what we DON'T need - a one world religious government.
05/04/12 Pope's funeral brings all to Rome
"John Paul II's standing around the world drew five queens, four kings and 70 heads of state or government to his funeral as international leaders mingled with ordinary pilgrims in the Vatican.... It was the first time the leaders of Orthodox Christianity, the Church of England and the Armenian Apostolic Church had ever attended a pope's funeral."
And all the world wondered after the beast.
05/03/13 MegaVoice project basically marries the Bible to iPod.
Very interesting technology where basically a pre-programmed flash memory device has the Bible already installed (and uneraseable). It has no moving parts, and is solar powered, so people who can't read, can't see, just want to hear etc., can hear the Bible in their own language. Right now the technology does not allow for the whole Bible to be installed, but this "Godpod" could be great news for millions :) (2021, There are multiple versions of this now having the whole Bible, and with flashlights and recording capabilities too)
(2021 link not working) 05/01/22 Soophaphone (Soo) Sirivongsack's angel experience.
Soo is a humble woman from Laos, was Buddhist, and was ill with terminal cancer. Her angel Jonathan met her, and gave her some instructions. Praise God, she became a Seventh-day Adventist, and is translating Ellen White books into Laotian. The angel told her a big problem would happen in America in 2005, and then after, the Sunday Laws would come. Let's get ready folks! (2021, seems like every other person is having dreams these days).
04/12/12 Top Anglican adviser sees economic persecution coming for true church.
Jayne Ozanne, adviser to the Anglican church, speaks like a prophet in this article. "Sacrificial giving is not a concept that we in the West have either embraced or understood. We are too comfortable and, as a result, too compromised.
I see a time of great persecution coming, which will drive Christianity all but underground in the West. I believe that this will primarily take the form of a
social and economic persecution, where Christians will be ridiculed for their faith and pressurised into making it a purely private matter. (2021, This prediction is occurring right now! Sadly, Ozanne came out as gay in 2015)."
04/12/12 Famous Atheist Now Believes in God
"At age 81, after decades of insisting belief is a mistake, Antony Flew has concluded that some sort of intelligence or first cause must have created the universe. A super-intelligence is the only good explanation for the origin of life and the complexity of nature"
That's always been the problem with evolution - where did the FIRST thing come from?
04/9/9 America turning pagan?
According to MSNBC: "more than 35,000 costumed revelers ritually burned a 40-foot neon-and-wooden icon of a man deep in the Nevada desert." People "trance, perform rituals, burn sacrifices to pagan gods and goddesses, dance in the nude, engage in sex, and otherwise "express" themselves and become one with Gaia."
Yucko.
(2021 link not working) 04/9/9 President Bush covers all bases
"President George W. Bush, accompanied by members of his family and administration, attended a prayer service at Our Saviour Church in Manhattan the morning before his acceptance speech...Father Rutler said he gave the homily, and other parts of the service were led by a Protestant minister, a rabbi and an imam." What i want to know, is where was the voodoo priest, Buddhist monk, Satan church representative etc. etc.? This is all the result of "unconditional love" teaching:(
04/9/9 President Bush unconditional
In his Easter speech this year, President Bush preaches like a true Babylonian preacher: "Through His ministry and sacrifice, Jesus demonstrated God's unconditional love for us."
Most likely, this terrible deception will be preached until the 7 Last Plagues are poured out. Please repent Mr. President!
04/7/9 EU wishes to be Babel?
EU poster is open defiance of God confusing the languages at the tower of Babel. Interesting pic of poster, and the EU headquarters with an eerie resemblance to a famous painting of the tower of Babel. Seems also that sculptures of women riding beasts (no, really!!) are on the grounds of various EU buildings too.
04/4/13 Your email is being read.
"That's the first admission I've actually seen that they actually monitor Internet traffic. I assumed they did, but no one ever admitted it," Mr. Farber said....it will be the first time that routine U.S. monitoring of e-mail traffic has led to an arrest."
Yes, they got the really bad guys this time. But who's to say you're not next?
04/2/13 As in the days of Noah...
"In contrast with most other countries, animal sex is not illegal in Sweden. It was decriminalized in 1944 in connection with the decriminalization of homosexual sex."
So now, up to 5% of pets taken to vets in England are sexually abused. 'Enlightened Christian' countries are really working hard to erase the image of God in themselves.
04/1/11 The God of the Jews, Muslims, and Christians is the same?!
"Muslims and Jews would tend to describe God as in Deuteronomy 6:4: "The Lord our God is one Lord" (RSV). The foundational truth is that all three religions are monotheistic, worshiping the one God, the Creator of all (see the opening sura of the Koran al-Fatiha)."
The man who wrote this: "Jerald Whitehouse has served the church for many years as a missionary and in other capacities. At present he is the director of the Global Center for Adventist-Muslim Relations." A leader in the church believes that you can diss Jesus (Muslims do not believe he is the Son of God - don't even believe he died on the cross), and still believe in the Father. In email exchanges he gives Satan's mantra for the 21st century: "God's love is unconditional". If so, everyone will be saved.
03/12/2 A Biblical Worldview Has a Radical Effect on a Person's Life
"A...national survey of 2033 adults that showed only 4% of adults have a biblical worldview."
Ever wonder why it seems like you are speaking to a wall when you tell people the truth as found in the Bible? If you get a group of 99 others in America, only 3 of them will have a similar world-view to yours! Yet this is probably the highest percentage of any country in the world....How long will most people enjoy living and loving a lying world-view?
03/11/27 Conservatives try to morally justify homosexual marriage
"Anybody who has several sexual partners in a year is committing spiritual suicide. We shouldn't just allow gay marriage. We should insist on gay marriage. It's going to be up to conservatives to make the important, moral case for marriage, including gay marriage."
Interestingly enough, most of the feedback on the net to this piece by David Brooks, is that he shouldn't tell anyone multiple sexual partners is bad, not that he openly challenges God and "insists" on gay marriage -- yuck.
03/11/3 Israel and U.S. worse than North Korea?
"Israel and US labelled biggest threats to World peace". "According to the same survey, Europeans believe the United States contributes the most to world instability along with Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and North Korea."
When people turn so far from God that they think Israel and the U.S. are worse threats to peace than Iraq or North Korea, they have clearly fallen for a big lie of the devil.
03/11/3 Politicians pushing inter-faith dialogue
Speech by Italian Minister of the Interior Pisanu: "Inter-faith dialogue as a social cohesion factor in Europe and as an instrument of peace in the Mediterranean area". Choice quotes: "An open society is only closed to intolerant people. It is open to the largest number of possible identities and traditions. If this society does not want to face the break-up of the State, it should only be closed to the "barbarism" of the violent people who refuse the rule of law and do not share the values of tolerance, anti-xenophobia and solidarity." "It is necessary to watch over tolerance as well as over freedom. To defend both of them, we must be ready, if necessary, to use even force for the rule of law." "Tolerance, as well as freedom, requires daily readiness to dialogue, to compromise, to the "successful blending of cultures".
Sounds like a church mantra - Everybody COMPROMISE! And love everybody OR ELSE!!!
03/10/26 Talking to your next door neighbor - 1,000 miles away.
"A window between cities that allows people hundreds or even thousands of miles apart to meet and talk could make its debut in Britain next year. Tholos, named after a type of circular ancient Greek temple, consists of a large round screen nearly 10ft high and 23ft wide."
This is cool technology that could revolutionize communication.
03/10/26 It's 1,300,000,000 Muslims versus 15,000,000 Jews
The biggest summit of Islamic leaders in three years opened with calls for the world's 1.3 billion Muslims to unite against "a few million Jews" who allegedly rule the world and get others to fight and die for them.
"1.3 billion Muslims cannot be defeated by a few million Jews. There must be a way. And we can only find a way if we stop to think, to assess our weaknesses and our strength, to plan, to strategise and then to counter attack....We are enjoined by our religion to prepare for the defence of the ummah. Unfortunately we stress not defence but the weapons of the time of the Prophet. Those weapons and horses cannot help to defend us any more. We need guns and rockets, bombs and warplanes, tanks and warships for our defence." Mr Mahathir told leaders from 57 nations gathered for a summit of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference."
The call is clear: Get rid of the Jews and everything will be great. Self deception is a scary thing.
03/10/2 $5 a carat forever
Mass-produced diamonds could change our lifestyles in many ways. Instead of "Silicon Valley", how about "Diamond Peninsula"?
03/9/15 New sex of human?
"The statement by the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology was issued in response to an American scientist's report at the society's annual meeting that he has merged a cell from a male embryo with a female embryo and grew the hybrid in a lab for six days before destroying it."
08/6/4 New species of human-cow? human-rabbit?
British lawmakers adopt a new law allowing researchers to merge animals and humans. "The process involves injecting an empty cow or rabbit egg with human DNA." But thankfully they will not allow the little beasties to grow more than 14 days (right!)
03/8/20 Revival of Dark Ages in Europe?
ROMANO Prodii is the elected president of the European Commission until January 2005. "Prodi harnesses considerable Vatican backing for his objective of "building a great European soul", by which he means
forging a collective moral conscience along Roman Catholic lines. Italian support for EU enlargement from the present 15 states to a target of 30 had the blessing of Pope John Paul II in Gniezno, Poland, two years ago."
6/27 Gay marriages allowed in Canada
The Globe and Mail: "Nine provinces accepting of gay marriage".
"What people do in their own house shouldn't be regulated" is a phrase heard often these days, but God is not mocked. We allowed legalizing killing the unborn, and now we are sliding further down the long slide called "abomination". If Sodom and Gomorrah weren't spared, how can we expect to be spared in the blazing light of the gospel age??
6/27 James Ossuary fake?
by Rochelle Altman. "The ossuary itself is undoubtedly genuine; the well-executed and formal first part of the inscription is a holographic original by a literate (and wealthy) survivor of Jacob Ben Josef in the 1st century CE. The second part of the inscription bears the hallmarks of a fraudulent later addition and is questionable to say the least."
Not that it changes our faith, but it's a bit disappointing that someone tried to pull a hoax.
5/6 (update 2021 - requires registration to view) EU Army
'Old Europe' presses ahead with plans for an EU army. "Old Europe" threw down the gauntlet at the feet of Britain, the United States and the Atlantic Alliance at a mini-summit yesterday, unveiling plans for a new Euro-army with its own military headquarters.... It will be a fully-integrated Euro-army, and seems intended for combat in the future."
Europe likes to fight,,,and talk about how much they hate to fight.
5/7 UNHRC is for Human Rights?
The Get Is In.
The International Criminal Court at work. "...the following countries have been nominated for membership in the U.N. Human Rights Commission: Cuba, North Korea, Iran, "Democratic Republic of Congo," Egypt, Nigeria, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. And if you didn't know it, you know it now ? the recent chairman of the U.N. Human Rights Commission was Libya, yes, Qaddafi's Libya.
And here's another little gem: Election to membership in the U.N. HRC is so rigged that of the 191 U.N. member states, only one country is forever barred from election to the U.N. HRC ? Israel. "
No wonder, everybody hates Israel - why?
Libya Restricts Religious Freedom
5/7 UNHRC chaired by Libya?!
Get on the UNHRC to oppress easier!
Libya International Religious Freedom Report - 2002 U.S. Department of State "Christian churches operate openly and are tolerated by the authorities; however, Christians are restricted by the lack of churches and there is a
government limit of one church per denomination per city. "
"NOTE: Libya Elected Chair of UN Human Rights Commission. In a vote the UN human rights panel elected Libya as chair for 2003. The secret ballot tally was 33 nations in favor and three opposed, with 17 abstentions. The US vocally opposed the selection. "
U.S. loses U.N. rights seat; China cheers May 4, 2001 ""Gross violators of human rights" seek membership on the commission "to avoid scrutiny," said U.S. congressman Chris Smith, a member of the U.S. delegation to last month's commission meeting in Geneva. "
Cheer the bad guys, and diss the good guys. Your tax money at work for oppression at the UN.
America-Europe Turning Babylon
700-foot arch to Mary
Plans are on to build a huge 700-foot arch (St. Louis arch is 630-ft.) in Buffalo to the immaculate heart of Mary. Is this what "Protestant" America has come to? (2021 project cancelled)
Another first
For the first time since the Reformation, the British monarch has invited a Catholic Cardinal to preach. "So it is a remarkable step for the head of a church which still officially treats Catholics as second class to entertain their leader, for the first time since the Reformation in the sixteenth century."
Religious Harmony?
"One Christian pastor was warned to cease criticizing Buddhism, Taoism and Catholicism in church publications and from the pulpit." Religious Harmony Act forbidding anything bad to be said of others is reality now in Singapore. Next country???
Bible links
Search the Bible
This site lets you search for specific words in several versions and languages.
Blueletter Bible
Site where you can check the Bible online with also Greek and Hebrew for every verse. Lets you check pretty close to the originals. Huge!
Ever wondered which version of the Bible is best?
This site covers the issue thoroughly regarding especially the "textus receptus" and the "critical text", also the difference between "formal equivalence" and "dynamic equivalence" translation. Herbert Wolf (one of the NIV translators) writes, "While it may be true that AT TIMES THE NIV TRANSLATORS HAVE BEEN GUILTY OF READING SOMETHING INTO THE TEXT, I would contend that overall this version has achieved a high degree of accuracy by its
philosophy of translation" (Barker, p.127). Which versions have the "Word of God?" - KJV, NKJV, MKJV, LITV, Interlinear, and newly done Analytical (NT only).
Reciprocal Links

Links to Seventh-Day Adventist sites
SDA Net
Includes graphical church locator, discussions, and links to lots of SDA sites with a bent to judging God's prophets by today's standards(?!).
Research into early Advent beliefs
Research paper by the White Estate explaining "Age to Come" and other beliefs around the 1840-1850 time frame. This is a must read to understand the 1851 "A Sketch of the Christian Experience and Views of Ellen G. White" and the 1854 "Supplement".
Other Christian Resources
Foxe's Book of Martyrs (1560's)
"After the Bible itself, no book so profoundly influenced early Protestant sentiment as the Book of Martyrs. Even in our time it is still a living force. It is more than a record of persecution. It is an arsenal of controversy, a
storehouse of romance, as well as a source of edification."
Early Christian Written Works
Material by John Bunyan (Pilgrim's Progress), St. Augustine, John Calvin, Erasmus, Martin Luther, John Milton, John Wesley, old hymnals etc.
History of making of the English Bible
Fascinating site where you can even purchase whole, antique Bibles over 400 years old! John 3:16 in a 995A.D. translation: "God lufode middan-eard swa, dat he seade his an-cennedan sunu, dat nan ne forweorde de on hine gely ac
habbe dat ece lif."
Catholic movements, Popology, Marian visions
For Jews: Old habits must go
Lustiger's article 1
Lustiger's article 2
"Here's the first hard truth, meant for Jewish leaders (many of whom, it must be said, already get it): The old habit of criticizing the Catholic church first and asking questions later has to go, because the historical wheels are turning, and before long you may find a church that simply isn't listening."
Interview and brief profile of Jewish (!!) Cardinal Jean-Marie Lustiger, considered to be one of the top contenders for next pope (died in 2007). Article2: "Others...will also wonder how two religions which have been so drastically separated in history could establish any special relationship that would be capable of bringing all cultures and creeds together."
Rev 12 sign - Mary!?
Big list, and definitions of what is a Marian apparition, and lots of articles etc.
Who's the last pope?
Excellent, thoughtful work explaining Malachy's prophecies. Malachy lived in Ireland over 800 years ago and seems to have written down a small description about every pope until the last one. Who is that? He said there were 112 (111?) until the last one and guess which one we are on now????!
Marian Apparitions and Three Days of Darkness
Fatima prophecy etc. Example: "ONLY BLESSED WAX CANDLES will give light. One such candle will suffice for each household during the three days of darkness. They will not give light in the homes of the impious and blasphemers". Dark Ages thinking.
Lots of Catholic prophecies
Lots of stuff in kind of hodge-podge order, but very interesting - like the Freemasons being the "mystery of iniquity" and the "anti-christ" is Maitreya!?!?
History of the saints
How were the disciples martyred?
If Jesus never really existed as many Atheists like to say, then why did so many of his followers choose to be killed for their faith, rather than deny their Lord?
Persecution of Christians in Turkey
Rarely talked about, Turkey had a large population of Greek Christians until the first World War when they were mostly exterminated in a genocide.
Persecution of Christians by Protestants
While it is well known that the Catholic church persecuted and killed millions of Protestants, it is not so well known that Protestants also persecuted and even killed some Catholics and fellow Protestants even! Baptists especially had it rough, with several being put to death by a so-called "third immersion".
Evolution of Evolution
"Ordered evolution?"
American Scientist: "The Formation and Evolution of the Milky Way" by Cristina Chiappini. An evolutionist saying the Milky Way "is an elegant structure that shows both order and complexity." Yet somehow order on this grand scale happened by chance?!
Ben Stein's "Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed"
This entertaining documentary by Ben Stein highlights problems in Evolution, and even shows Richard Dawkins admitting that perhaps this earth was "seeded" by aliens from other stars, thus just pushing the problem that he has publicly stated: "Evolution hasn't been observed while it's happening", back into the dark past, in a galaxy far, far away - ha!
Science and the Saints
Flesh and chips. Computer chip implants
People line up for biochips.
Pic & story of Verichip
The merging of man and machine. Pics and background of the chip implant device that could very well revolutionize how we work, shop, save, or even open the car doors. No need for keys anymore (or cash, or credit cards, or probably a million other things!) Is this the Mark of the Beast? No, that will be breaking the Sabbath when the govts. of the world say to keep the first day. But there could be some visible mark too.
Dog chips
What's this about dogs got to do with the saints? Computer chips are being implanted in their necks! On a recent Japanese TV show, they said all dogs sold in Europe have to have computer chips implanted in the neck to identify
them and their owners.
Global cooling
Few people know that Satan's initial plans to get everybody to think alike involved "Global cooling". From Newsweek magazine April 28, 1975. "Meteorologists disagree about the cause and extent of the cooling trend, as well as over its specific impact on local weather conditions. But they are almost unanimous in the view that the trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century."
But somehow the next few years felt hot, so the "almost unanimous view changed to "Global warming". Really.
Global dying
The end result of all this "Global Warming" hysteria is to get as many people to die as possible. That is always Satan's way, to get the majority of people to think alike so that he can lead them to destroy those who don't think just like them. It has happened again and again in history, and now there is an online game for children saying:
"...find out what age you should die at so you don't use more than your fair share of Earth's resources!" Disgusting. And this is by a large broadcasting company in Australia! When our "news" is so skewed, no wonder the people are led astray - Because they love a lie, they will get very very warm one day unless they repent.
110 ! (2021 update 112 or 111 because of Benedict abdicating)
