wrong 1950 years ago, that Miller was wrong about October of 1844, and that every Seventh-Day
Adventist preacher since been similarly wrong, especially since we have entered yet another millennium
(the completion of two millennia being the 'new' time frame for 20th-century Adventists). They just
keep pushing their date over and over and a handful of people scared that Jesus is going to leave them
behind keeps the tradition from dying out completely.

For one thing, the Bible says that when Jesus' second coming happens, we will never know the day or hour by which he comes. The other thing is that the secret rapture is just a bunch of bullhocky.

As far as I feel or care for anything religion--I don't--but I was once an Adventist. GOD should rightfully be worshipped on the 7th day of the week (saturday) and not on the 1st day (sunday).

have long dedicated Sunday to be the day to celebrate the Resurrection. That is, even Jesus 'rested'
while lying dead, rising on Sunday.
That's why Christians celebrate on Sunday, not because it's the Sabbath (it's not, and no one claims
that it is), but because it is a weekly recognition of the Resurrection.
