General Conference - Atlanta - Seventh-day Adventists' Leading Forum

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

'nuff sed www.forestlakechurch.org Registered: 2000-07-08 Posts: 1525 Loc: Apopka, FL. USA	Will you be attending the General Conference session in Atlanta, George the end of June this year ? If so how about getting together at least once so that we might put some faces with names? So far the list is as follows (as far as I know). Don Aldridge Redwood As soon as we know how many then I will look for a place for us to meet. My suggestion is in the early evening July 1.. 'nuff sed

I've never been to Canada so i'm not sure if that includes Canada.

If my sister-in-law from Costa Rica comes we make take vacation and go for a few days. I have the AA International Convention in San Antonio July 1-4 so if we go it would be for the beginning and not the end. _________________________ Ask me about the hidden US Politics forum here.

What's a "real Adventist" ? :) I will show ways in which I may not be a real Adventist to those who make statements like that.....I have never attended, and have no wish to attend, a GC. Does that make me heathen? Also I have never attended an Adventist school in spite of having grown up in a town that was predominantly SDA at that time, with SDA parents. Of course if I was nearby and there was a CA meeting.... I hope those who do make GC are blessed.

Shane Administrator of Foro Adventista Registered: 2002-02-02 Posts: 26194 Loc: Rio Grande Valley, Texas	The General Conference will be televised on the Hope Channel. Some churches stay open all week and televise the meetings there for those members wanting to watch that don't have satellite at home. I think most Adventists can get to feeling like they are not "real Adventists" if they focus on the issues where they disagree with the movement. However when I put aside those areas where I disagree and focus only on the common ground, I feel quite a bit like a "real" Adventist. _________________________ Ask me about the hidden US Politics forum here.

However both channels are broadcast from the same satellite. If you get Hope Channel from DirecTV than you cannot get Hope Church Channel. However if you have an FTA dish from AdventistSat or GloryStar, you just need to do a blind scan and it should pick it up. _________________________ Ask me about the hidden US Politics forum here.

I am not happy about this. I want every channel possible. I don't want to be cheated. Guess I will have to try to find it on my Adventist Satellite. But I don't have TIVO on that Satellite. So, it does make me feel cheated. _________________________ May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
