NEW LIFE IN THE CHURCH
You thought churches were boring places? All frowns, no fun.
Well, get ready to change your mind!
When the Adventists get ready to celebrate Christmas, your expectations will be fulfilled! In 2007, they celebrated the holiday at Cadillac Jack's.
GAMING EXCITEMENT
"Cadillac Jack's Casino offers a spacious gaming floor with 181 of your favorite and newest slot machines in town! Also enjoy five action-packed Blackjack tables, four LIVE Poker tables with the friendliest dealers in town, and free cocktails to all players!"
You must be used to dimly-lit cathedrals. When the Adventists get together to celebrate, SAY HELLO to the bright lights!
THOSE LYING CRITICS
Wicked tongues have circulated false rumors about the Adventists:
"You may be aware that Adventists are strictly forbidden 'worldly functions' such as movies, the circus, dances, and cards. They are not even allowed to read secular literature and the reading of novels is strictly forbidden." (Gregory G. P. Hunt, Chapter 18 -
Ellen White and Miscellaneous Nonsense, Beware This Cult!, http://www.ellenwhite.org/btc/btc18.htm)
THE CRITICS DON'T HAVE A CLUE
Adventists don't just watch "movies", they also produce and distribute them. Like the 2007 production "Christmas at Cadillac Jack's". It just happens to have been the Adventist North American Division's Christmas show. Click here for more information. This seems to be the hottest action 
in Deadwood, South Dakota!
Its a "dramatic Christmas program produced by the North American Division". Not a real story, but fiction. Sure the Adventists' founding prophet speaks against this, but since when have these people troubled themselves over what that prophet says?
"Even fiction which contains no suggestion of impurity, and which may be intended to teach excellent principles, is harmful. It encourages the habit of hasty and superficial reading, merely for the story. Thus it tends to destroy the power of connected and vigorous thought; it unfits the soul to contemplate the great problems of duty and destiny." (Ellen G. White, Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, p 383)
According to the Adventists' founding prophet, their church is putting out harmful films which "destroy the power of connected and vigorous thought".
This may be welcome for all party-goers who are totally stressed out. Don't forget that there are free cocktails for all gamblers!

Dear J., Thank you for your comment. I am aware of the fact that the 'resting' is not the aspect of the Sabbath. It is just that the issue I was having difficulty with at the time.
Ceaser's Palace is a nice place to go and relax, but I neither drink nor gamble. This is by choice, since they can both get out of hand for me. I know this from past experience, so I choose not to invite sin to sit down next to me! lol. Have a nice week. :)
I found it odd they would spend so much time and money to put something on TV that did not directly share the gospel.
Thanks

Think "Central Light" (Central Luzon Conference's official journal) finally got to publish a similar article (which discussed whether or not to consider conducting and/or joining TV game shows as gambling). Anyways, thank you very, very much for the wonderful comments and God bless spreading the gospel!

thanks for posting this kind of issue..God Bless
Yes, I looked at your posts and I assume you are critical of--from what you describe as pretty non-Adventist behavior--goings on in the Adventist church.
Yours is a fascinating blog and I will have to visit it as time allows to try to get a feel for all your different views.
God bless.
