The clearest way to express rebellion in the Church was by smoking. Alcohol use was a close second. These behaviors essentially signaled to other members that you no longer wished to be considered an Adventist. Many of the rest of the rules could be breached in ways that conveyed individuality without showing an unacceptable level of open defiance. In those halcyon days of communal naivete, one could retain membership, though draw a great deal of criticism, by wearing earrings, or short skirts, or Beatle-length hair, or by swimming on Sabbath, or publicly drinking a CokeTM or going to see something like The Sound of Music in a movie theater.
Over time, the level of rebelliousness attributed to various questionable behaviors waxed and waned. In college, the stigma of movie-going had become rather passé, but the length of my hair was of very great concern. Also, the attitudes and guidelines around sexual behaviors took on a much greater emphasis.
Heresy takes more work than rebellion. It begins with a skeptical attitude of doubt, but it requires a fairly in-depth understanding of doctrine to achieve. For Adventists, the most common source of heresy is uncertainty surrounding inspiration. While several pastors have told me one does not need to believe in the inspired writings of Ellen G. White to be a good Adventist, her pronouncements are so intertwined in our basic beliefs and doctrines that it is a very difficult position to balance successfully. It has been my experience that most members who lose faith in the inspiration of Ellen G. White eventually see little reason to remain in the denomination.
While our theology must account for both mercy and judgment, we do not worship a two-faced God. Fear is used to manipulate and control. Love casts out fear. Skep- tic, rebel, and heretic that I am, count me in the group that believes in unconditional love, even in judgment.
In an open lot on the Dhubat al-Saff military base, a group of Libyan rebel recruits gathers around an instructor demonstrating how to fire a Russian-made ZU-23-2 quad-barrel antiaircraft gun. At the far edge of the same lot, another trainer shows his students how to calibrate a mortar. But while the camp's instructors explain the technical specifications of their assorted weapons, Jerry Erwin of Vancouver, Wash., is teaching the recruits how to survive on the battlefield. "One, two, three, down!" the beefy soldier shouts, prompting his students to drop on their elbows. As they do, he slowly moves between them, demonstrating how to fall while still holding their rifles in a shooting position.
Throughout the eastern city of Benghazi, a dozen such training camps have sprung up since the rebellion against Muammar Gaddafi began on Feb. 17 and was forced to turn to arms by the regime's slaughter of unarmed protesters. The camps were designed to give recruits a four-week crash course in basic combat skills and weapons training. But because the instructors at Dhubat al-Saff, retired officers who served in the Libyan army, spend most of the six hours of daily training focusing on weapons familiarization, Erwin is trying to teach recruits survival techniques and unit coordination. "They have a determination that reminds me of Rocky Balboa," says the cigar-chomping 46-year-old American. "But they are missing some of the basic methods that all soldiers need."
Erwin believes the rebels are spending too much time training on sophisticated weapons systems like the French Milan antitank missile recently shipped to them by Qatar. "The Milan is probably above their skill level. You need people who have a high familiarity with weapons to understand how to use the optical system, and these guys just don't have it." And with Gaddafi having pulled back his tanks after dozens were destroyed in NATO air strikes on the road between Benghazi and Ajdabiyah, missiles like the Milan are of very little use against his mobile forces using Toyota pickup trucks.(Watch Libya's ragtag rebels in action.)
But not all the Libyans on the base are pleased with Erwin. The American reservist has the support of those Libyans on the base loyal to Khalifa Hiftar, the former Libyan army colonel and war hero who has spent most of the past 20 years living in the U.S. in suburban Virginia, before returning to join the rebellion earlier this year. Hiftar has repeatedly clashed with rival rebel military leaders wary of the returning exile. While troops loyal to Hiftar control part of Dhubat al-Saff, the camp commanders answer to rebel chief of staff Abdel Fatah Younis, a bitter rival of Hiftar. And they have sought to marginalize Erwin, claiming his teaching methods are not suitable for the current campaign. Distrustful of any foreigner, those commanders refused to speak either about Erwin's contribution or the training the recruits receive.
Erwin has equally harsh words for his detractors. "Everybody busts their butts here while they sit in their offices. They don't interact with the camp," Erwin complains. He laments the dysfunctional chain of command and blames it for the soldiers' low morale.(See exclusive photos of Libya's rebels.)
Some of Erwin's fellow trainers share his sentiments. "We want to train our guys to be ready to go to the front," says Fawzi al-Ubeidi, a 46-year-old former sergeant in the Libyan army who defected to the U.S. with Hiftar, and who left his home in Johnson City, N.Y., to join the rebellion. "But the commanders here want to teach us the same losing techniques that made our army a decrepit fighting force."
