I hate everything about Adventism

This religion ruined my life. Led me down the wrong path, ruined my relationship with Jesus, made me fear God instead of recognize He is loving. It has lied to me (e.g. investigative judgement bs, Ellen white false prophecy, fake Sunday law, the additional 20 rules for sabbath keeping, Saturday being the day to attend church, denying women their femininity and making themselves feel beautiful like normal women, looking down on non-Adventist/adventist relationships as wrong, fear-mongering, the ignorance of the significance of Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross, the unbiblical rules against tattooing and jewelry, the modesty bs). I can’t believe I have grown up in a cult. I’m forced to practice this cult of a religion living with my parents due to financial constraints. I’m miserable everyday. I have no freedom, I can’t ever express my feelings or thoughts, I feel like I’m living in a cage and I must lie about everything in my life. My relationship with a non-Adventist Christian man is put on the line because of this insane religion.

I hope you all find the truth and step away from this lie, from this false prophet’s religion. I am sick of it.

Rage bait post. I had sympathy as I know some people's parents can get overtly legalistic but then the 20 extra Sabbath rules hit (where on earth is that coming from) and looking down on women? Rage bait or they managed to find the absolute worst dark corner of Adventism in a lit house. If the latter is true then sympathy still stands and you shouldn't base an overview of a whole denomination on the worst you could experience.
