Famous Adventists? - 12/24/05 12:46 AM
Hi all,
Daryl suggested that a new topic could be started to prove/disprove whether or not famous people are or are not members of the Adventist church. Now, I am not sure if it should be in this forum or not. So, Daryl, if you want it someplace else, go ahead and move it.
Anyway, this is the quote from the thread it was originally posted in.

However I can see how that book could be considered hate material to some, and no doubt it will be banned at some point.

Hey Richard,
I decided to do a search on that myself. Now, I found some ifo regarding Paul Harvey. I had not heard that it was his wife, but his sister who is/was Adventist. Well, there is a site that lists "famous adherants".....not run by Adventists,but lists various faiths. One such person listed was Paul Harvey, who, according to this site, was baptized into the Adventist church a few years ago. It also listed other people as having been members or ARE current members. Some, I knew about from my own previous searching...at NON-SDA sites. Others, I am surprised to see. I am still searching to find out if the people listed are/were truly Adventist, but, some that I found there include Little Richard, who I KNOW was an ordained pastor, Clifton Davis (pastor AND actor, which I knew when I watched a show he was on, and then saw him preach on 3ABN, I think), as well as Brian McKnight (fell away), Take 6 (McKnight's brother is a member of the group)...etc. But it also lists Jaci Velasquez, which I never knew, so I am searching that info myself.....if anyone wants to help me search for truth about some people, email me and I will give the site. I would SOOOO love the help.
But, I DO remember hearing something about Paul Harvey having become an Adventist.....I'm gonna have to look more into THAT info! LOL
Now, the website I have for the info is Famous Adventists
Ok, let's start searching! And remember, let's not get carried away, ok? I mean, if we know someone is NOT a member of the Church, say it, but don't get belligerant, ok? Have fun!
