Bringing Disrepute to the Seventh-day Adventist Name
Earlier this week, we published a report along with a video of the Mr. & Miss Intramurals event that was hosted by the Adventist Technological Institute (ATI) located in the Philippines. The video we posted on Facebook has gone viral and is causing many to spread a lot of misinformation. Basically, some are trying to dismiss the wild music and worldly dancing by saying that ATI isn't an Adventist entity anymore. They are diminishing the relationship of ATI with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. And since it is not connected to the church, as alleged, somehow this is supposed to be okay for Adventist Technological Institute to bring the Seventh-day Adventist name into disrepute with their public apostasy.
But I don't believe that the relationship between ATI and the Church has been eliminated, and you shouldn't either. This claim is an attempt to deflect and excuse this worldliness and make of no effect the counsels of God. We'll explain why we must not downplay the seriousness of ATI's hosting of the 2023 Mr. & Miss Intramurals celebration and why we must speak out against this heresy.
You can't pick and choose whether or not to be affiliated with the church based solely on convenience. You are not allowed to specify when you are or are not a Seventh-day Adventist. And it is interesting that we want to downplay ATI's connection to Adventism when discussing their apostasy. However, they don't downplay those connections when other church-sponsored or church-led events take place on its campus. You cannot speak to one group in one way and act in another with another group.

Ellen G. White's Warning and Its Fulfillment in Worldly Adventist Academies
On December 16, 2025, the Seventh-day Adventist Academy in Pulierranghy, India, held a Christmas program that featured numerous Santa Clauses, played by students and faculty.

In Rome's Embrace: When Adventist Pastors Find Comfort in the Papal Arms of Sund …
On Sunday, January 18, 2026, Giovanni Caccamo, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor, publicly embraced Roman Catholic Bishop Antonio Napolioni during an ecumenical worship service commemorating the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The gesture symbolized a visible unity between the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the Roman Catholic Church in Italy within a formal ecumenical setting.

Pope Leo XIV to Ecumenical Leaders: "We Are One, Let's Make It Visible"
Ecumenism is indeed fulfilling prophecy-but not the prophecy God calls His people to advance or embrace. The world is being drawn into a single religious and political body, as revealed by Scripture: "And all the world wondered after the beast" (Revelation 13:3). This is not a revival of godliness; it is universal apostasy-a global movement that, under the appearance of unity, peace, and love, is leading people away from Bible…

What is now evident is that the initiative to establish Sunday as a uniform day of rest is much further along than initially thought. The president of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, has already actively participated in formal public policy discussions related to the document "Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years" with members of the U.S. Congress and the Trump administration. This document…

Ghostface Horror Character in an Adventist Pulpit
Galatians 5:9 states unequivocally, "A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump," a warning against permitting even minor instances of biblical compromise. In other words, if small negative influences are allowed to spread, they will eventually corrupt an entire movement.

Adventist Health Portland Honors Pride Month
Pride Month has become an international freak show that takes place in June and comes complete with nudity, debauchery, bondage, and sexual decadence-all aimed toward children. Homosexual activists, trans militants, and drag queens openly flaunt their sin, promote it brazenly, and parade it proudly down the main streets of society. Truly, during pride month, the revelers "parade their sin like S@dom."
"The look of their faces testify against them. They…

Penang Adventist Hospital Wishes you a Happy Deepavali
The celebration of Deepavali is associated with Lord Krishna, a major Hindu god. During the Deepavali festival, which usually lasts about 5 days, worshipers commemorate Lord Krishna’s victory over the cruel demon known as Narakasura. It is said that this demon oppressed the people until the people prayed to Krishna, who responded by killing Narakasura during a battle. Therefore, Deepavali commemorates Krishna defeating Narakasura.
Now we have Penang Adventist Hospital,…
Adventist Insubordination Dressed Like a Catholic Procession
“We may have to remain here in this world because of insubordination many more years” (Evangelism, p. 696).
We don’t just want to act like insubordinate Rome; we also want to dress like them. On Sabbath, October 23, 2021, the Central States Conference of Seventh-day Adventists ordained Kimberly Bulgin to the gospel ministry. She was ordained into the ministry with full credentials. This is nothing less than insubordination. Here we have…
