Toilet Timing - unOFFICIAL ADVENTIST FORUM

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

aldona Public Nuisance Registered: 08/03/02 Posts: 2945 Loc: On the outside, looking in	Quote: "Every hour squandered over the toilet should reprove them for leaving the intellect to lie waste." 4T 643 I'm going to have that quote framed, together with a suitably solemn and stern-looking photo of Mrs White, and hang 2 copies in the rest-rooms at church - one for the ladies, and one for the men. (checking calendar to see when it is my family's turn next on the church cleaning roster). aldona _________________________ www.asrc.org.au (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Melbourne) Helping over 2000 refugees & asylum seekers each month “Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes

aldona Public Nuisance Registered: 08/03/02 Posts: 2945 Loc: On the outside, looking in	And some more thoughts... If you read a book, does it still count as "leaving the intellect to lie waste"? On Judgement Day, are we going to be confronted by an angel with an entry in a Book somewhere, outlining how many hours, minutes and seconds we spent "over the toilet"? aldona _________________________ www.asrc.org.au (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Melbourne) Helping over 2000 refugees & asylum seekers each month “Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes

Redwood Swiss n Swedish American Registered: 12/09/06 Posts: 9035 Loc: A citizen of Heaven	Aldona ... to be fair to EGW ... I don't think they read books 'over the toilet' in her days. So, perhaps she would make an exception for this activity. We have to consider culture of toileting when reading her writings.

carolaa Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 1681 Loc: Texas	Originally Posted By: John317 I've had to explain that same kind of thing before when I got "toilet water" for my daughters or for some friends. It sounds absolutely awful. Yes, I remember when I was a kid and got a small bottle of toilet water in my stocking.

Gail I have many points... Registered: 12/10/02 Posts: 13618 Loc: Buon giorno, Principessa	Not wanting to waste any intellect- At work I posted some book covers in the stalls in the (women's) toilets. Another one of our staff did the men's. It wasn't long before the covers in the women's stalls were returned to us. As far as I know, the covers in the men's remains to this day. _________________________ Gail gail@adventistforum.com And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
