Club Adventist
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

I just read a bit about her on Comcast news. I didn't realize the difficulties she had in the past few years with people trying to exploit her name and also with being attacked by a robber in her home in 1994.

She stood up for what she believed.

HEY TO ALL

well any death is a lost and when it is a hero/heroine
it seems that much more of a lost.

She must have been very young when the original inicident happened. I believe that is what thrust Martin Luther King Jr. into the public light.

Heard something to the effect that Lars Justinen provided some pictures that were displayed in the rotunda where her body was

Anyone else heard that?
