My response to Joanna de Bruyn's "Epstein, Iran, 250 years, Heritage Foundation Connected"

 Mrs. Joanna de Bruyn my hope is that you accept my observation of your presentation as constructive criticism, and forgive me for pointing out a few oddities. 

You began your presentation mentioning "Epstein, Iran, 250 years, Heritage Foundation Connected", and associated all these with Trump, the American Empire, and the United Nations, all these nexuses make sense. Eventually, you ended up focusing on the United Nations and your recent appeal for the GCSDA Corporation (501C3) to divest itself from that World Government (U.N.) behemoth. 

My question to you is where have you been for the last 30 years that you failed to notice that your fellow Austrailian Russell Standish's son and GEORGETOWN UNIV. (Juris Doctor) ALUMNUS, James D. Standish was an official representative to the U.S. Government and Liaison for the GCSDA to the United Nations in New York & Geneva? 

Besides these violations of 2nd Corinthians 6:14, Bert B. Beach, John Graz, and Ganoune Diop have all been the church’s liaison to the United Nations, while being president/secretary general of the International Religious Liberty Association (IRLA), and SIMULTANEOUSLY secretaries of the Conference of Secretaries of Christian World Communions, an offshoot of the World Council of Churches (WCC). 

So, why are you waking up now regarding this ECUMENICAL duplicity within the GCSDA Corporation?

The Adventist Movement is the CHURCH, not the General Conference of Seventh day Adventist. 

God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Acts 17:24.

God has a church. It is not the great cathedral, neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations; it is the people who love God and keep His commandments. “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Where Christ is even among the humble few, this is Christ’s church, for the presence of the High and Holy One who inhabiteth eternity can alone constitute a church.

How Did We Miss The Sunday Law While Watching For It?

How Did We Miss The Sunday Law While Watching For It?

January 14, 2026 Joanna de Bruyn



By the end of this article, one question should remain: how did General Conference leadership concede ground on Sunday laws years ago, without the church noticing?

In mid-November 2025, Fulcrum7 reported that nine faithful SDAs sent a letter to the General Conference (GC) administration requesting a meeting by mid-December 2025 to discuss ending the church’s consultative status with the United Nations (UN).

This request was urgent, reflecting the seriousness of the times. Over the past five years, religious liberty has been steadily eroded, bringing the world to the edge of the enforcement of the universal Sunday law.

Many SDAs have been lulled into a false sense of security and do not see the importance or the urgent need to depart from the consultative relationship between the church and the UN. Many have been lulled into thinking that Sunday laws are off in the distance, and when that happens, then they will respond to the crises.

The reality is that in 1921 the League of Nations, through the International Labor Office (ILO), introduced a universal weekly rest convention (No. 14), which many member nations ratified. This weekly rest was to be observed according to the customs and traditions of each nation.[1] For a large percentage of countries, this resulted in Sunday becoming the mandated day of rest.[2] These conventions were later adopted by the United Nations when it was formed and it absorbed the ILO into its structure.

In 1957, the UN expanded this framework by passing another weekly rest convention (No. 106), extending the mandated rest to a wider range of occupations. This further strengthened the principle of a universal weekly rest across member states.[3]

Questionnaires sent to member nations in the 1920s and again in the 1950s revealed that many had already mandated Sunday rest. Enforcement often included fines or penalties for Sunday trade, such as requiring employers to pay higher wages or provide compensatory time off. In many countries, the rest period began on Saturday afternoon and continued through Sunday, with additional compensation required for any work performed during that time.[4],[5]

As recently as 2013, the ILO was advising member states on how to make Sunday rest more explicit in national legislation. It is clear that the international legal framework is already in place to implement a Sunday worship law.[6]

Laws alone are not enough; society must also be conditioned to accept not just Sunday rest laws, but Sunday worship laws. The past five years have shown that political powers, media, and social engineers can shape public opinion to the point where the majority will demand such laws if they believe it will bring peace, health, or moral improvement. As recent history shows (2020-2022), many were willing to comply with mandated experimental therapies to preserve social acceptance, personal security, and the appearance of loving their neighbour, even when they weren’t convinced of the health benefits.

The reader may ask, what about religious liberty? Won’t the Seventh-day Adventist Church administration manage to defend religious liberty?
