I’m a Seventh Day Adventist. I don’t pretend our church and community are perfect, but these claims seem silly. I suspect there are some partial truths in there, but I doubt it’s an accurate portrayal of reality.
Mutilation? That would be awful. I’d guess how that got in the book is there was some story somewhere that someone was mutilated, maybe by a crazy person who was Adventist, but there’s no way that was a common practice.
And we’ve never been “powerful” or rich enough to shape national politics. We wouldn’t want to if we could. Political engagement isn’t part of who we are.
There is one exception though. We’re strong advocates and defenders of religious freedom.
All that said, I don’t speak for the church or any other people. Likewise, nobody speaks for me.
Happy Sabbath!
