You know you are a 7th Day Adventist if:
- The “ABC” store has a whole different meaning then secular society - my personal favorite was during campmeeting (see number 4) and the ABC store would have samples of delecious vegetarian cuisine
- You ate wham instead of ham and fri-chick instead of chicken - and for the truly dedicated sevy try the tofurkey (a holiday classic)
- “Roma” was your brand of “coffee”
- You excitedly made the pilgramige to “campmeeting” every year - a time full of “revival” (an some serious french kissing behind the Pre-teen tent)
- You’ve taken part in the debate Big Frank vs. Veggie Link - I still pledge my love and devotion to the Big Frank
- Do the words “carab chip cookies” ring a bell??
- If your family participated in the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” rule of meat eating - I still feel a little bit of shame every time I indulge in a big juicy steak
- Ellen G. White is a household name - still confused about her issues with mustard
- Being able to defend the “Sabbath” from a very young age
- The “everything but the kitchen sink” casserole brought to potlock every week that made us all grimace
- Having to over hear someone get scolded for attending potlock for the last month with out contribution
- Alcohol, tobacco, and premarital sex rank as top sins, above adultery, stealing, and murder
- Participated in a chime choir, bell choir, sign-language group, or “praise” band - I happened to be a master “signer” it was how I got all the boys… or so I thought
- Every year at camp on Friday night you are forced to watch a play of the death of Christ - followed by emotional breakdowns of 10 year old girls fearing for their eternal soul
- You eat Haystacks instead of the traditional Taco Salad
- “Day of rest” - mom and dad slept while we children had to choose between arts & crafts or a walk in nature to make the time go by
- Boarding academy - too much to discuss in a few sentences
- Hearing catty conversations about the family’s that leave once they discover its communion week.
- Having an argument over who’s feet you will wash - and then being humiliated once you’ve discovered you have sock gunk inbetween your toes when your getting your feet washed
- You know the entire story behind the song “It is Well”
- David Koresh is not discussed - after all he wasn’t a “real” 7th Day Adventist
- “O we are the pathfinder strong, the servants of God are we..” - find yourself singing the rest of this catchy tune?
- Understanding that you are indeed different than everyone else
