It is all about whether you want to willingly submit to church authority or not. Those who hold the highest level of authority are (by way of theory) elected to make these decisions. If you don't like the system, or the decisions of the system, bail out.

Don't cry baby all over the church about the decision and then attack the system and call it "Popery".

We all have to decide periodically if we will remain in the SDA church or not. If the church doesn't represent what I believe, or you believe, then we are all free to go.

Some of you already have. Bless your heart, at least you are honest. The rest of us need to quit cry babying if we can't get our way.

The GC states the policy and every form of authority under the GC must submit to that policy. The Unions are not free to do as they please or ordain outside the stated policy. Get over it, or move on. And I have to do the same.

If the system is corrupt, the church is corrupt. No one will change it.
