We are called to be in the world, but not of the world. This film reminds me of movies I used to watch when I was not in the church. Ellen White talks about how we should not conform to the world to bring people into the church, because it will just cause the church to conform to the world. We need to be a light in this world, to be different than the world, and I believe this film is "of the world".

If Ellen White were alive she would never have her Great Controversy book associated with this movie The Record Keeper. What a disgusting movie.

As an soon to be member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, this movie goes against many of the principals that I have learned through Ellen G. White. I know that the Great Controversy was a great book based on facts. This is a fictional movie that is trying to appeal to "the world". We (as SDA members) need to separate ourselves from "the world" and be more Godly. I find it very disturbing that the council of the SDA church would stand for such a fictional drama movie and relate it to The Great Controversy.

After seeing Scott Ritsema's presentation title "Media on the Brain" it is alarming that our church is putting forth the same sort of material he discusses. The trailer is just like any movie trailer that you will see for secular movies. It uses the same tactics that effect our brains negatively. Please do NOT proceed with this project!

I am sickened to think we will produce FICTION, using the very THEATRICS GOD told us NOT to use, we have GONE the way of the word, & the CURSE of GOD is upon us.

Let us REPENT, for The Kingdom of GOD IS NEAR!!

Can it be any clearer than this??

MR No. 1377 - Guidelines for Evangelism; No Theatrics; Health to be Preserved; Workers to Go Two by Two

I have a message for those in charge of our work. Do not encourage the men who are to engage in this work to think that they must proclaim the solemn, sacred message in a theatrical style. Not one jot or tittle of anything theatrical is to be brought into our work. God's cause is to have a sacred, heavenly mold. Let everything connected with the giving of the message for this time bear the divine impress. Let nothing of a theatrical nature be permitted, for this would spoil the sacredness of the work. {19MR 125.1}

I am instructed that we shall meet with all kinds of experiences and that men will try to bring strange performances into the work of God. We have met such things in many places. In my very first labors, the message was given that all theatrical performances in connection with the preaching of present truth were to be discouraged and forbidden. Men who thought they had a wonderful work to do sought to adopt a strange deportment and manifested oddities in bodily exercise. The light given me was, "Give this no sanction." These performances, which savored of the theatrical, were to have no place in the proclamation of the solemn messages entrusted to us. {19MR 125.2}

The enemy will watch closely, and will take every advantage of circumstances to degrade the truth by the introduction of undignified demonstrations. None of these demonstrations are to be encouraged. The precious truths given us are to be spoken in all solemnity and with sacred awe.

I'm glad to have a part in this petition. All that evil needs to proliferate is for good men to do nothing. My prayer is that Christ will take charge of His flock at this time when men prove to be "ringleaders in apostasy" 5 Testimonies p.212.

Seventh-day Adventist and steam punk do not even belong in the same sentence together. If I didn't know better, and had just seen the trailer, I would have guessed this was a vampire movie (like Twilight) or a modern Angel movie or some other kind of violent, super-hero action file that we as Seventh-day Adventists are warned not to watch in theaters or on TV. Why are we bending to the appetites of the sinners in the world to reach them??? Since when do we, as Seventh-day Adventists have a "if you can't beat em, join em" attitude??? This is so NOT the way to draw people to Christ. We don't know exactly what happened in the beginning, so why dramatize it? Why is it so important? If you want to dramatize something traumatic, dramatize the end of times. Now that will be gory and violent!

I do not believe that we should try, nor could portray the TRUTH of this wonderful and inspired book of the Great Controversy in a movie.
The only movies we could feel free to watch are nature movies, and maybe truthful documentaries of church history.
Let's follow the counsel God gave us in His mercy for every situation, and we will be safe.
I am embarrassed that our SDA Church has any connection with this movie.

I agree whole heartedly with the author, for I have read the quote before re: theatrical performances, for it trivializes the a very real spiritual battle for each persons heart and soul. We are counselled to use God's methods to win the heart not the worlds methods. I am very disappointed in that we have as a church engaged in this type of activity for outreach.

Although I am not against using media to give our message to the world, including the use of movies, after seeing the teaser for The Record Keeper, I do not think our name should be attached. It is a far cry from the teaching tools I use such as Cosmic Conflict and Pamela's Prayer. It seems the focus will be on suspense and entertainment, with exciting action scenes and maybe a watered-down taste of God's last-day message to the world. I will be very happy if some find the Adventist church after seeing the series, and there learn the truth, but I do not think our name should be attached.

This film is sci-fi and has nothing to do with Mrs. White's book, GC. I am absolutely disgusted and embarrassed that the SDA church would advocate something like this and waste money that should be used for mission and evangelism. God must be extremely saddened. I know I am.

I'm into media. A photographer, media assistant, and amateur film maker. I know the power of media, and appreciate it's use to forward the Gospel. But I am very disturbed at this use of one of our most powerful, sacred, end time tools. This kind of stuff is meant for Hollywood, not the church. We can make compelling, godly media, that won't compromise principle.

I would sign this petition a thousand times or more if allowed. When will we take the counsel of the Lord to heart and not get ourselves involved in these human foibles. God's Word is clear and sound on this matter both in scripture and through the "Testimonies" lovingly given the church in the person of God's Messenger, Ellen G. White...every bit as valid today as the pen of the Apostle Paul. I heartily endorse this petition and join the plea for our world headquarters to immediately withdraw their support for this project and further to actively work for its dissolution. Forget the money spent, though wasted. Let a lesson be learned to carefully seek God's precise will on matters like this before proceeding with such a project that will impact all of God's people, as in this case so well substantiated...in a negative manner. – F. McMiller
