sadventist 

A member of the Seventh-day Adventist church whose religious views are based on the Old Testament and the writings of Ellen G. White (founder of the SDA church.) As a result, they are miserable people who make everyone else around them miserable too. These miserable souls are likely to be pro-Life and for Capital punishment, extreme gossips and backbiters, and depressed loners with few friends, lovers of money, greedy, and quietly ostentatious. They find fault with everything from contemporary fashion, music, and art to movies, sports, dancing, and people. Their Sabbath-observance is very strict and ceremonial, devoid of joy and real worship, and focused on what one CAN'T do during the time between Friday sundown through Saturday sundown. Children of "sadventist" parents are to be pitied above all because not only are they denied the joys of normal childhood but have to go through their adult life with a broken image of the character of Christ, an image which might never be rectified enough in their minds. As a result, these children either become atheists or worse, they become a version of their "sadventist" parents to propagate even more misery into the world.

Adventist 

Christians who believe that the return of Christ as promised in the New Testament (John 14:1-3, Matthew 24-25) is the next major event in the history of salvation. Although most Christian tradition includes this aspect, the Adventist faith is particularly related to the movement started by Baptist evangelist William Miller in the 1830s in the United States. It continues today in several denominations, but most prominently the Seventh-day Adventist Church with some 25 million adherents worldwide in 2005.

badventist 

a Seventh Day Adventist who "breaks the rules" of his/her religion by going out or doing things on Friday nights and Saturday before sunset, eating pork and other restricted foods, or just doesn't regularly practice other aspects of the religion.

Basically a combination of the words "bad" and "adventist."

Girl 1: Did you hear about Zachary going to that party on Friday night?

Girl 2: Yeah! He's such a badventist!

seventh day adventist

A Protestant Christian denomination whose followers, upon Bible proof, observe Saturday (the seventh day) as the day of worship. Adventists worship from Friday's sunset to Saturday's sunset - a period of time called "the Sabbath day."

Followers of this belief...

- are generally against abortion.
- refrain from eating pork, shellfish, and other animals that the Bible tells are "unclean"; many people of this faith are vegetarians.
- are against gay marriage.
- are opposed to any piercings and tatoos.
- dress modestly and without adornments (i.e. jewelry, make up, extravagant hairstyles).

Being a Seventh day Adventist is really awesome - it fulfills my spiritual needs more than any other religion could.

seventh-day adventist church 

A Protestant denomination that emerged in the 1850s and early 1860s from the movement led by Baptist evangelist William Miller that began modern focus on the return of Christ. Miller used exegesis of apocalyptic passages in the Bible books of Daniel and Revelation to make predictions that Jesus Christ would return to earth in 1843 or 1844. When the last and most specific prediction failed on October 22, 1844, the widespread interest in his ideas collapsed. A small group made up mostly of young adults began a series of Bible-study retreats where they systematically re-studied all aspects of Christian faith to get beyond the various traditions that had been passed down over the centuries and get back to the authentic, original Christian basics. This resulted in the slow development of the Adventist denomination over a period of more than a decade.

By 2006, membership has grown to more than one million in North America, with some 20 million adherents worldwide. Most Adventist members live in small towns and rural areas despite the fact that in the 1880s through 1905, the Church operate a network of city missions. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, dean of a medical school sponsored by the Church in Battle Creek, Michigan, worked closely with Jane Addams and the settlement house movement in Chicago during this time, operating free clinics, homeless shelters and nutrition programs staffed by medical students and nursing students from the American Medical Missionary College. After 1906, when Kellogg split with the Church, the medical college was re-established in southern California and became what is today Loma Linda University.

The majority of Adventist Church members in urban congregations today are ethnic minorities. A large percentage are African Americans, with other significant portions among immigrants from the Caribbean and Latin America, Korea and the Philippines. Adventist Community Services, the faith-based charity sponsored by the Church, has an Inner City Program that funds community action projects in urban communities. A number of urban ministry organizations have been started by Adventists in the last decade: Adventist Metro Ministries in New York City, Adventist Community Development Services in Newark (NJ), Adventist Humanitarian Resource Center in Philadelphia, Adventist Community Services of Baltimore, Adventist Community Services of Greater Washington, Adventist Community Services of Greater Pittsburgh, etc. The Center for Metropolitan Ministry at Columbia Union College in Takoma Park, Maryland, serves as a research, training and resource center for Adventist and other Christian urban ministries.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church sponsors many community health projects.
