“I don’t even remember there even being a hole about such a thing. I think this is more a manifestation of your desperation just talking to talk.”
Okay, let’s see: Post the website from which you got the long Brewer quote.
“I think you want to punch Brewer in the face, but I am not so sure it has anything to do with him chatting with any high school girls from a story he himself offered from his life.”
Chatting? He said they “stole” time alone. He said he “interpreted” their “affection” as “love”. And you get “chatting” out of that?
“I’m pretty sure it has more to do with him not being Catholic anymore, and so you want us all to imagine him there groping her and planning to commit statutory rape.”
I don’t care what you imagine about Brewer. Imagine whatever you like, but there’s no way, they were just “chatting” if he thought they were in love. Apparently you’re already imagining quite a bit.
“How do you know the SDA always tells its members that White’s words are allegedly equal to scripture?”
How do you know they don’t? Have you ever read their old literature from the 50s and 60s? I read some. It’s there. And do you think you could be an SDA minister and not know that?
“There are plenty of people in that “denomination” who are not privy to every single claim their Prophetess has made.”
And how many ministers of the SDA would not know one of the foundational beliefs of that denomination? Think before you answer.
“Same thing with the Mormons.”
No. You will not find the equivalent of a pastor in Mormonism (and I realize there is no direct equivalent) who does not know that the LDS teaches the writings of Joseph Smith are scripture.
“Same thing with the Catholics. Ask a Catholic today whether or not their religion always taught freedom of religion, and they probably wouldn’t be aware that they have Popes as recently as the 19th century damning the entire concept.”
The question to ask would be this: Are both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition authoritative in the Church. And every priest (the equivalent of a minister) would know the answer is yes.
If you’re going to make analogies, make them correctly. I realize many public schools stink, but these are basic skills.
“It’s my duty to inform you that you seem more desperate than sure about anything you say.”
Okay, post the source of the original quote - the long passage - from Brewer that you posted. When you don’t do it, and I think it’s obvious you won’t, I think we’ll see something.
“So, what else do you have against Brewer? Your first two attempts have been pretty lame.”
No, I have been absolutely correct all along. What is pretty lame is how you won’t post the source of the original quote - the long passage - from Brewer that you posted. Care to explain that? Are you desperately looking for an actual copy of the book?
“Chatting? He said they “stole” time alone. He said he “interpreted” their “affection” as “love”. And you get “chatting” out of that?”
Wow, your desperation is palpable. There is no indication of any physical intimacy between them, or even any indication that he planned to break his vow of chastity. That’s just what you wished happened since you hate Brewer.
“And how many ministers of the SDA would not know one of the foundational beliefs of that denomination? Think before you answer.”
Apparently lots. Think before you ask me stupid questions.
“There are a myriad of reasons for why people leave the SDA Church, but in recent years, one reason has begun to stand out above all others: Knowledge. With easy access to the Internet, Adventist members have at their fingertips a wealth of knowledge about the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Thanks to former SDA ministers such as Elder Dale Ratzlaff, Elder Sydney Cleveland, Elder Walter Rea, Dr. Desmond Ford, and many others, a wealth of knowledge regarding the fallacies of Seventh-day Adventism is now available to anyone willing to take the time and effort to study their religion.
Adventists are often sucked into the SDA Church through cleverly disguised and advertised evangelistic campaigns held in a public locations with no mention that the meetings are organized by Seventh-day Adventists. The multimedia presentations are designed to appeal to the senses and the emotions. End-time prophecies are presented in such a way as to arouse alarm and fear. Participants are bombarded with proof texts and one-sided arguments until they are convinced of the necessity of joining God’s “one and only true remnant” church: Seventh-day Adventism.
Later, after the rush of excitement fades, these new Adventists start asking questions. It is not long before it dawns on many of these new arrivals that all may not be exactly as they had been told. Cracks begin to appear in the once-thought-to-be ironclad presentations of SDA Bible prophecy. They start asking questions, and instead of getting answers, they find that their questions are getting dodged. They soon discover there is a large and growing segment of Adventists who do not believe in Ellen White, or the peculiar SDA views of Bible prophecy. And yet, these are often the very reason the new arrivals joined the SDA Church! It is not long before they discover there are different factions in the SDA Church, each with their own idea of “truth”. As they begin examining the SDA doctrines more closely, they soon discover that there is a BIG difference between Bible Truth and SDA truth. More and more, Adventists are now “studying their way out” of Adventism.”

I copied and pasted it from Brewer’s website. I think all you’ll see staring back at you is your own desperation.
