If God abhors one sin above another, of which his people are guilty, it is of doing nothing in a case of emergency. Indifference or neutrality in a religious crisis is regarded of God as a grievous crime; and equal to the very worst type of hostility against God. {RH, September 30, 1873 par. 9}
Martin Luther is known as saying that "Silence is Betrayal"...
On behalf of God's last-day movement that will never die, never be silenced or deterred, we would like thank all those who lifted the voice of protest and have cried out to God for the sins in Zion. By raising our collective voices, God has honored our requests. May this be a lesson going forward: The prayers of the righteous availeth much and we can move the arm of God when we stand together for the right. This is only a practice run, however; the final movements will be rapid and more severe. Be ye also ready.
Be encouraged for God has heard the prayers of His people and He has placed in Ted Wilson the kind of leadership that is willing to stand for principle, even at the risk of being unpopular.

"The greatest want of the world is the want of men,-- men who will not be bought or sold; men who in their inmost souls are true and honest; men who do not fear to call sin by its right name; men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole; men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall." --Education, p. 57
TD Jakes Invitation to Evangelism Council 2011 Has Been Canceled!
Thank you for not keeping silent. Your overwelming response made an impact.
First, we would like to state for the record that it has not been the intent of this video and website to "out" or embarrass the leadership of the Evangelism Council. We love the remnant church and are zealous over it and the sacred truths it preserves. Perhaps we have been too zealous in our method, however. So, with this in mind, if we have offended anyone, we would like to humbly apologize. As we seek to hold leadership accountable, we will hold ourselves equally accountable for the manner in which we represent Christ, His character, and upholding the standards and instructions given in His holy word. Imperfect, though we may be, we must all seek to follow God's principles so that the enemy does not gain any advantage. May we all receive more grace in how we treat one another. However, we remain true to the spirit of protestantism and, in this final communication, make all aware of how pervasive and dangerous this issue is. What ultimately has been revealed through this experience is that a) the T.D. Jakes invitation is just the tip of the iceberg, for it is happening everywhere and happening quietly, and b) the majority of God's remnant people are not aware, but are outraged upon hearing of these unbiblical, self-serving, church-damaging, soul-poisoning practices that have covertly slipped into our midst. Awake and Keep Not Silent.
We have received an overwhelming response to this site and the video. We want to thank all who have engaged in this issue and are taking a stand. Many have sincerely asked “Why is this such an important issue?” We answer this question in this final communication.
With so many responses, we have come to the conclusion that this issue is much larger than T.D. Jakes. We have received emails from around the world that have shown that actually many conferences and churches are inviting non-Adventist preachers in to speak. We believe the bottom line is that it leads to a flood of spiritualism coming into the Adventist church. There was a reason why our General Conference President warned us of the Emerging Church movement, Spiritual Formation, Contemplative Prayer and other spiritualistic practices from first-day ministers. To understand this more, we recommend that you read a book by Rick Howard called The Omega Rebellion.
Here are a few examples of the trend:

It has been stated by the Council that we are blowing this issue out of proportion since the Evangelism Council event has had a non-Adventist preacher for the last 17 years. Clearly the Council is not aware that revealing this is actually more incriminating. One need only consider the fruit of this 17-year practice. Jesus said that we will know them by their fruits. No need to judge anyone, just look for the fruit.
T.D. Jakes is confirmed to speak at this year’s event: Click Here to see that in writing. I think we can all agree, this is creating much confusion in the Remnant Church.
Each of us will have to decide what is right based on the truths that God has revealed to us in His word.
We felt it necessary to share clear, Bible instruction on this issue, with corroborating statements that conclusively clarify this issue.
Isaiah 8:20
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.
COMMENT: We have placed a video showing TD Jakes mocking God's Sabbath out of ignorance or malicious intent (you decide). Or perhaps, he is in opposition to God's law based on "faulty theology". Nonetheless, TD Jakes spoke according to something else. What?
Isaiah 8:20 says "To the Law and to the the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
QUESTION: Did TD Jakes speak according to the law and the testimony? No, He actually mocked the law.
COMMENT: So if TD Jakes has no light, then what does he have?
ANSWER: Darkness. So according to the Bible, why should our leadership listen to darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?
"There is no union between the Prince of light and the prince of darkness, and there can be no union between their followers." {GC 45.1}
That seems really simple to me. How about for you? Below are a few more texts.
Romans 16:17- 18
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
2 John 1:9
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed:
1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
There is to be no compromise with those who make void the law of God. It is not safe to rely upon them as counselors. {2SM 371.1}
What is the scriptural basis for doing what we're doing?
Isaiah 58:1
Ezekiel 33
The responsibility of the watchmen of today is as much greater than in the days of the prophet as our light is clearer and our privileges and opportunities greater than theirs. It is the minister's duty to warn every man, to teach every man, in all meekness and wisdom. He is not to conform to the practices of the world, but, as God's servant, he must contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. Satan is constantly at work to break down the strongholds which debar him from free access to souls; and, while our ministers are no more spiritually minded, while they do not connect closely with God, the enemy has great advantage, and the Lord holds the watchman accountable for his success. {5T 16.1}
Also below are two documents for further study on this vital topic. We believe this is the climax of the last attack on God’s Remnant Church, something Ellen White called “The Omega Apostasy.”
