In 1999 the local SDA church got all the young adults together and got them fired up to build a church with a full stage and concerts all the time and a TV broadcasting network and all sorts of worldly endeavors. Then they held a vote, and the grandchildren of the elders who built that church stole it away from them, took away the SDA title, put the church 2.3 Million dollars into debt, built a massive gymnasium as the first phase and they started to espouse Jesuit Spiritual Formation for their first public outreach. When confronted on this issue, namely presenting a public reading of a "Purpose Driven Life" which espouses Jesuit Spiritual formation they immediately went on the offensive. They secretly baptized homosexuals and young adults living in sin, unrepentant. When the housing bubble burst that $3 million church was worth less than half of debt and when they refuse to let that pastor keep the tithe for a higher wage, he laughed as he left the building saying "I never accepted ordination in the SDA church and look what I accomplished". He was gloating in the damage he had done, yet they stil embrace that man as if he is some kind of hero to the progressives.
