A friend is being courted/converted and is afraid this is a cult. Any resources or articles she should read to get a better idea? I don't know much about the church. I'm agnostic, but a friend of mine who is very open spiritually has been going to bible studies with the SDA for a few weeks. She told me today that she is concerned she is being brainwashed because of the way she has felt she has had to change her behavior to fit in with the group. She feels that she is very susceptible to cults and wouldn't know better or be able to get out if she was taken in. Are there any articles or resources about SDA (specifically downsides, as her bible study group is all very pro SDA, of course) that she should read? She wants a balanced look before getting too involved.
