Adventists won't bury lawbreakers

[ramesh]

Determined not to bury people who have "lived lawlessly", Seventh-day Adventist Churches in Jamaica, The Bahamas, Cayman and Turks and Caicos will now do background checks on the deceased before deciding if they are worthy of benefiting from the SDA's funeral services.

I think I know why. You remember Bogle's funeral? It was originally to be held at the Ephesus SDA church in Jonestown. Turns out that the church was too small so the resident pastor just asked the pastor of Kencot to "host a funeral for him" without any information. Now the type of crowd that came with Bogle's entourage was not a decent one. They went up on the Rastrum and performed their secular music, dancing and singing and drinking beer. They were also dressed inappropriately and were smoking ganja and using expletives all inside the confines of the Holy Sanctuary. I guess they just don't wanna be caught again!

That was a funny picture in that article. I guess those women were like 'Hey dis way we don have to change for da club' :icon_mrgr . Anyway the SDA church has that right, as well no one should tolerate such disrespect on church grounds. It doesnt matter to me though, six feet deep is six feet deep, no matter who officiates :icon_mrgr

hey BM those women in the link manu posted r modestly dressed in comparison to some ive seen........believe me those women could leave church and hit the streets as ladies of the night ....without doing a thing to their look.......

at one funeral the rev....decuded rather than discuss the deceased's life he had it out for the skimpily clad women in the congregation....that didnt sit too well with the relative thou ....but i agree the church has to draw the line somewhere.........if we dont stand for something we will fall for nething
