Rebels send the message to the youth and weaker members of a church that the rules of the carefully cultivated lifestyle are irrelevant. This threatens social disintegration. Thus, the community must act to stigmatize dissent.
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 pass, 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.
my experience that most evangelical Christians and Adventists agree that the importance of the cross is that by shedding His blood, Christ somehow bought forgiveness from sin for those who accept His sacrifice, thus granting them a path to eternal salvation and keeping them from the fires of hell. This is basic Reformation theology, and it may be wonderfully good news for sinners.
Every Adventist I know claims to love Jesus and supports justification by the righteousness of Christ as revealed on the cross and agrees that the preeminence of the character of God is vital and sees the importance of an orderly universe governed by the laws of God, including the Sabbath.
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.

NDJAMENA, 26 October (IRIN) - Therehave been at least a dozen attacks by rebels opposed to Chad's presidentand skirmishes with the Chadian army in the last 12 months. After brieflyoccupying the southeastern Chadian towns Am Timan and Goz Beida this week,the rebels again melted away into the desert on Wednesday, according toa Chadian government spokesman.
The closest the rebels have come to seizingcontrol of the country was in April. One month before presidential elections,columns of fighters swept across the country in less than a week and broughttheir fight to the capital's doorstep. Around 200 fighters and civilianswere killed in one day of fighting in an N'djamena suburb, the InternationalCommittee for the Red Cross said.
Chad's President Idriss Deby is no strangerto attacks. A former colonel in Chad's army, in 1989 he formed his ownrebel movement in Sudan, with the backing of Khartoum. Said by analyststo be a master strategist, in 1990 he swept back into Chad and seized controlof the vast, semi-desert country with barely a shot fired.
Deby convened and won elections in 1996and 2001, but has battled waves of discontent from his own military throughouthis rule. Infighting between ethnic groups, and irritation over the president'sfailure to support rebels fighting his former backers in Khartoum, havefuelled the dissent, analysts say.
The rebellion picked up steam in June2004 when Deby won a referendum letting him doctor the constitutional two-termpresidential limit. Waves of defections from the army in 2005 bolstereda Chadian rebel movement in neighbouring Sudan estimated at the time tobe about 3,000 strong.
In interviews with journalists, rebelspokespeople rarely express goals except kicking Deby out, but the politicalwings of the rebel groups have still cooked up an alphabet soup of acronymsas they chop and change their groups' names and try to reconcile theirpolitical and military interests.
Rebel leaders are cagey about their strengthor backing, making definitive figures hard to come by. Deby has accusedKhartoum of providing the rebels with direct support. Khartoum has deniedthe accusation, and accused Chad of being sympathetic to rebel groups opposedto it.
However, human rights watchdogs AmnestyInternational and Human Rights Watch, and senior United Nations officials,have said the Chad government's preoccupation with its own survival hasleft it unable - or unwilling - to protect the border.
In the military vacuum, attacks by militiasfrom Darfur have become commonplace. More than 55,000 Chadian civiliansin the east of the country have fled their homes this year, according tothe UN refugee agency (UNHCR).
Diplomats say it is the uncertainty abouthow a divided rebellion would unite and then govern the vast and extremelypoor country that borders Cameroon, Central African Republic, Libya, Sudan,and Niger that makes the rebels a threat to regional peace.
- Rebels captured Goz Beida, a majoraid agency hub 60 km from the Sudan border. No-one was harmed and the rebelsmoved on to Am Timan, before melting away into the desert, according toChadian government.
- Rebels with the United Front for DemocraticChange (FUC), a coalition of 13 rebel groups, make a westward sprint acrossthe country from Sudan and Central African Republic, briefly seizing thetowns Goz Beida, Am Timan and Mongo before launching an attack on N'djamenaless than a week after first crossing into Chad. Fighting in an N'djamenasuburb left around 200 combatants and civilians dead, according to theInternational Committee of the Red Cross. Rebels repelled after Frenchfighter jets fired warning shots near advancing columns.
Activist, musician and punk pioneer Kathleen Hanna has always been a force. With her band Bikini Kill, she pioneered the "riot grrrl" movement in the 1990s, challenging the misogyny of both the punk scene and society at large.
"When I moved to Olympia, [Wash.], there were all these kids who were making music and putting out records on small indie labels," Hanna says. "And they sort of defined punk not as a genre or a ... loud, angry, aggressive sound, but as an idea ... that we don't have to wait for corporations to tell us what is good music or art or writing. We can make it ourselves."
And so she did. Along with Tobi Vail, Billy Karren and Kathi Wilcox, Hanna formed the feminist punk band Bikini Kill. The band urged women and girls in the audience to move up to the front of the stage, write political zines and talk openly about sexual violence. Emboldened by the music, fans would come to Hanna to talk about their own experiences.
On tour, Hanna and her bandmates faced abuse and disrespect from male fans and club workers. A one point, a sound man threatened to stab her when she was touring with another one of her bands, Le Tigre.
"This was our workplace, and every single night was a different set of threatened angry men ... who would treat us with such utter disrespect," she says. "One of the things that has been getting me by is this phrase: 'In punk rock, there is no HR.' "
In her new memoir, Rebel Girl, Hanna looks back on her childhood and her experiences in the punk scene. She also writes about finding out that an undiagnosed case of Lyme disease was the reason she couldn't physically perform anymore.
Since her diagnosis and treatment, Hanna's back to to performing again with Bikini Kill and her other bands, Le Tigre and The Julie Ruin. She says there's still a lot of anger in the shows, but there's also "so much more joy."
[There were] girls in the riot grrrl meetings who were just crying because it was the first time they'd been in an all-female atmosphere, and they were just like, "Whoa, this feels really weird. I'm confused." And then like, "Wait, why have I never made this a priority before?" And just that feeling of a room changing. Just sitting at a crappy plastic Office Max table with a bunch of young women who have been relegated to the back of the room at punk shows for so long, finally saying, "I've always wanted to start a band," or "Hey, does anybody know how to play guitar? I'd like to learn." That's an amazing feeling. That really kind of changes the room into this beautiful place of possibilities.
We wrote that one in the basement of this house called The Embassy. It was a punk house, and punk houses a lot of times have names. And this one was called The Embassy because it was pretty close to Embassy Row in D.C. And I just remember how sweaty it was and it was very small. And I'll always remember writing that song because it was one of those times where I was writing it as we were playing it. So they started coming up with the music, and as it became more full-formed, I started hearing the first couple lines in my head and I just stepped to the mic, and then they just kind of fell out. I stepped back and started thinking, OK, what's the chorus going to be? ... And then I walked back to the mic and I just sang and "Rebel girl, rebel girl, you are the queen of my world" came out. And it just kind of happened. It felt like the scene of punk women that I was hanging out with, and that I was becoming friends with, really wrote that song and I just like grabbed it from the air, or something.
