There are a thousand details to work out when planning awedding.
One bride recentlyreached outto Reddit asking for advice after her father tried bribing her to change her wedding date.
Now, shes wondering if she was wrong for choosing the date she did in the first place.
First, we wanted to know if anyone else in her family had left the church.
I am the only one in my immediate family who left the Seventh-day Adventist church, she toldBored Panda.
I have an aunt who also did.
My fiance and I were always planning on paying for it, the bride clarified.
Finally, we wanted to know what she thought of the replies to her post.
The commenters were mostly very helpful, and I enjoyed reading them all, the author shared.
Seventh-day Adventists believe that the Sabbath was instituted by God through His actions at creation in Genesis 1-2.
The opposite, worshiping on Sunday, is the Mark of the Beast, he noted.
This is obviously a very short summary of their stance and honestly doesnt do it justice…
So what exactly are Adventists allowed to do on Saturdays?
An Adventist pastor wont marry a couple inside of an Adventist church unless they are both Adventists.
(There are exceptions to this depending on the pastor.)
So, the concept gets very nuanced and convoluted, he noted.
They arent a part of Gods True Remnant Church, the SDA Church, Mike explained.
It is very cultic in the way the relationships interact.
There is almost always a major strain on the relationships.
We have experienced all kinds of hate, shaming, gossip, defamation, etc., Mike shared.
This is why most Adventists, when they leave, do it quietly and dont want to be noticed.
