For quite some time I have been interested in what makes some people take one position or another in this unnecessary and sad saga.

Junebug stated in another thread:

THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG, including Danny Shelton.

Now this could be taken in more than one way, and perhaps Junebug could clarify this for else. Does this statement mean that Linda Shelton committed adultery and that thus Danny did nothing wrong by divorcing her? Or does this mean that Danny did nothing wrong by divorcing Linda even though he had no biblical grounds to do so?

Or, are Junebug's words restricted to only a particular topic, not Danny's unbiblical divorce.

I wonder why Junebug didn't respond to this question?

Maybe Junebug doesn't want to be stepped on my GJ.  OUCH!!!

[ex3abnemployee]

Maybe she's still pondering how to spin Tommy's guilty plea to actually make him innocent, so her famous prediction won't be wrong.

Hey Junebug, I hope you haven't been considering opening up one of those psychic hotlines.

Now, now, Duane!  No good SDA worth their salt would go near a psychic....for shame!  LOL!!!!

I don't think making sport of Junebug like this is the way to go.

In a way it is good (making sport) because hopefully it will open up some eyes. But my greatest concern is not Danny or 3ABN, it is the 900 pound gorilla in the room, the Adventist Church. no matter how you spin it they are to a great degree responsible for this entire scenario. The fact of the matter is that Danny would have no power at all if the church had stood up and chastised him from the very beginning. Or, if they had took and even look at the situation, or used basic common sense. Especially after his marriage to Brandy someone should have had enough sense to say hold on Danny you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time. That marriage alone should have been enough to have him step down, but they were to invested in it to move with common sense. The letter from his step daughter was another chance for them to distance themselves from him and lastly the episode with Tommy should have caused some type of outrage. Consider that even the worldly institutions would have acted by now on appearance alone. Instead the silence is a testimony to the complete and utter inability to act with common sense or with regard to the cause of Christ.

If Junebug had kept quiet and not spoken of things she knows nothing about, she wouldn't even be a topic of discussion right now. She has ridiculed victims and called us liars, so surely she can take it if she can dish it out.

Not to mention the award or commendation or whatever it was that they were given at the GC session.

What award was that?  What for?

Have looked for this item elsewhere but I see no mention of it any other place than in 3ABN's own news.

That must be it.  Amazing.

Reminds me of an incident I watched at the GC session at Cincinnati Ohio back in 1958. One evening a pastor called a certain conference president on the phone to inform him that he was supposed to be on the rostrum at a certain meeting the following morning. Back in those days there were lots of people on the rostrum at every meeting. One person would introduce another man who was to introduce the person who would announce the opening hymns - or something like that - just to get as many participants as possible.

I saw another conference president noticing what the pastor was doing - and his face exposed a huge grin. The following morning I saw the first conference president walking on to the rostrum but he never performed any task during the meeting, so I spoke to him after the meeting. He told me he had asked his seatmate why they had been asked to sit there. His seatmate told him that he had no idea. So I suppose that even back then some people had fun playing jokes on others. I have no idea if this could be the case with those three people in the picture, but I find it strange that this incident took place prior to the traditional international parade - at a time when there might not have been any meeting at all? So were the mikes turned on or off when this took place? Did they just manage to get this picture for 3ABN?
