I found the following interesting in the CNN article about sentencing phase of Malvo's trial.

I don't think this is evidence of anything other than a troubled youth who's mother turned to what she thought was Christianity and tried to turn a son from error. ( I believe SDA's are Christians the ones Paul says we should welcome but not if there is going to be argument on "disputable matters' )

Testifying for Malvo, Jamaican pastor Lorenzo King, who baptized Malvo into the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1999 at the age 14, testified last Friday that Malvo "appeared to be lonely. And he seemed to be searching for belonging. You could sense that in him."

I thought it was good that they said he was a member of the SDA church on the Dateline special about it (maybe it was Primetime) Maybe if they get enough negative press with disturbed people being members someone will wake up and realize they have problems in the church.

Is it fair to suggest that such a truly abberation of humanity can be linked with the SDA church being so bent doctrinally? Also, do any of you watch Judge Joe Brown? I think it's him that I'm thinking of, if I'm in error please let me know. However, one of the court t.v. judhes and I think it is His Honor Joe Brown was raised SDA. Around once every two weeks or so he gets to mouthing off about how much he hated having to grow up SDA and how he never got to have any fun. On one episode the girl and the boy were in a dispute over a money matter involving an expense related to their high school prom. The judge told them to stop complaining because at least they got to go to the prom and have a good time. That he was raised Seventh-day Adventist and it was against the religion to have any fun at all, especially on Friday nights and especially if the fun would have been dancing. Oh, he gets me laughing so hard my sides ache! It's so funny.

Susan, I think you are talking about Judge Greg Mathis.

Doug222, Yeah, probably so. I really am hooked on those judge programs. It's Judge Joe Brown who really tells off the low-lifes. I love it when he tells them, "What part of 'get a job' don't you understand?!"
