“Third generation SDA reared in a strict Adventist home. 30 years ago I discovered EG White was a fraud, stopped attending church, entered the stages of grief and stalled out at anger. Stayed stuck in anger for several decades. As a mental health professional the depth of the brainwashing I had experienced growing up Adventist became all too clear. In an effort to understand the real Bible I started studying in a program run by Messianic Jews. The study courses helped a great deal but I needed more. Many times driving to work I prayed to God to guide me to a Christian deprogrammer who understood the false doctrine of the SDA church. I knew I was allowing anger to hold me hostage and I desperately needed help. Enter COVID-19 and a member of our household tested positive so I quarantined myself. My wife listens to podcasts, but I had never paid much attention to them. With time on my hands and some serious nudging from the Holy Spirit I decided to see if anyone was podcasting about leaving Adventism. Enter Former Adventist Nikki & Colleen and their podcast. De- and Re- programming currently in progress. The anger has turned to sadness, the sadness has been replaced with joy and hope once again. God bless you both, through your ministry I have found peace and a Christianity that makes perfect sense.”
