I Was A Seventh-day Adventist

By Former SDA

Vegetarianism, doomsday predictions, contradictory teachings, isolation, and elitism are hallmarks of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. This organization, recognized as a religion worldwide, claims to be the ultimate and most accurate authority on the teachings of the Christian bible. This podcast features former members who have left the SDA community as they discuss their journey through and out of Adventism.

Episode Six: SL

After a month-long delay, I Was A Seventh-day Adventist is back! In this episode, M speaks with SL, the writer of the content from Episode Four: Church Skeletons. They discuss her writing, growing up SDA, and a smattering of other topics. This episode is not as intense or triggering as Episode Four, so if you were not hoping to hear that sort of content, this episode is safe for you.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses sexual abuse. Listener discretion is advised.

In episode four of I Was A Seventh-day Adventist, M reads a submission from listener S.L. This writing discusses the SDA church covering-up major instances of abuse and shows just how far the church is willing to go to maintain its image. S.L. writes about her experiences trying to escape the church and how she feels now that she is out.
