I have recently left the SDA Church mainly because of their belief in their Prophetess Ellen White. I found it absolutely wrong that her teachings were held at an equal level to that of Christ, and I found some of her teachings to be un-biblical regarding salvation not to mention the fear instilled into the members regarding salvation and the Catholic Church. The paranoia and obsession over everything that happens in the world being a sign that leads up to the end of the world and the beginning of persecution for the SDA. Since I left I have been trying to get back into my Catholic faith since I was baptized as a child but, was never taken to church again by my parents after that. My Mother was a firm believer in the psychic Sylvia Brown and would always have her books and have her on the tv when ever she was on tv. I read one of her books when I was around 10 years old I believe. So, I believed in reincarnation for a long time because of her. The point behind all of this is that I cant help but feel angry and resentful since leaving SDA. I feel frustrated because everyone believes their denomination is right and they have the one truth and you need to believe in their denomination alone. Over the past few days I feel like I am one step away from being agnostic. I tried to speak to a local Priest about this but, I got the feeling he was just frustrated to talk about the SDA and was short and dismissive with me. Which I cannot blame him because the Catholic Church has been and still is dealing with a lot of difficulties and prejudices today. So I am a bit apprehensive about calling him back. But, I really need to talk to someone about this. So I am sorry if this is an inappropriate post for this forum but, what advice would you give to someone like me? I dont want to lose my faith in God but feel like walking away from religion completely because of all the confusion and difficulties. Sorry for posting so much today.
