“The right way to say it has always been and will always be “AD-ventist” not “Ad-VEN-tist,” said GC spokesperson Hauju Seyit.
“For years, our church has suffered unjustly from the linguistically-misguided both inside and outside the faith that incorrectly place the stress on the second syllable,” he said.
“That’s just painful.”
Seyit said that nobody calls the Advent the “Ad-VENT.” The stress is clearly on the first syllable.
He announced that the world membership of the church would be trained in the correct pronunciation of the church’s name.
“Nobody is going to know what to call us if Seventh-day Adventists themselves can’t get their name right.”

BREAKING NEWS FLASH!
Silver Spring, MD.– GC President Wilson issue a flurry of tweets today, including a mysterious threat: “Dan Jackson better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking women’s ordination info to the press.”
After ADventist lawyers debated whether it was legal for Wilson to record Jackson, the GC Attorney General’s office issued a tweet verifying that it was lawful, while also refusing to say whether there really are any “tapes” on the subject of women’s ordination.
It is well-known that Jackson supports women’s ordination, while Wilson and the Pope detest it. ADventists, stay tuned for further updates!
OUR FIRM WILL HAS ACCEPTED THE OFFER FROM YOUR GC TO HANDLE ALL ADVERTISING, WE WILL CHANGE THE NAME TO
“SABBATH DAY ADDVENTIST”.
Yep, it really all depends on Hauju Seyit. If you Seyit the wrong way, the true Advent meaning will be lost.
I find it funny/interesting that the way some folks pronounce our name in such a manner that I immediately know if they are members or not.
I you ever get the urge to exercise, just lie down until the urge passes.
I’m proud of myself. Today I lifted a feather!
I’m proud of myself. Today I lifted a feather!
It all depends on which way the name was Registered legally.
Don’t do that! It is the only way I can tell who is a “insider” and who is a “outsider.” We used to use make-up and rings, but they are long gone!
WE WILL NOW BE MODERATING THIS SITE
BREAKING: WILSON ASSERTS “ABSOLUTE RIGHT”
Silver Spring, MD.– In a powerful rebuttal to critics among the church press and progressive Adventists, GC President Ted Wilson unleashed a flurry of tweets today. He asserted an “absolute right” to share women’s ordination “facts” and intelligence on the Moonies with the Jesuits. Further, church adviser H.M.S. McRichards went on TV to declare that the info-sharing was “wholly appropriate.” Meanwhile, the Jesuits issued a scathing rebuttal calling the reports “fake hoopla.”
Around these parts we call ourselves-AHVENTUSTS. It’s a regional thing. We serve Little Debbies at all our pot lucks. No hidden agenda here. No fake news, either. You is all welcome. Hey, Kim Jong/Dong-go lift some air. It ain’t heavy.
The only Adventusts I know are madventists, sadventists, gadventisits, gladventists, veganventists, yesventists, noventists, and a few seventh-day addddddventusts. How many you know?
ITS VERY GRATIFYING TO FINALLY BREAK AWAY FROM THE RELIGIOUS CORPORATE BONDS OF THE HUGE SDA CONGLOMERATE. CHRISTIANITY IS MORE SINCERE.
Are you Adventists? Do you know that there is a commandment that says “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”
