"Pastor Jan Marcussen’s book National Sunday Law (NSL) is creating a lot
of controversy in New Zealand as Haley Rivas Herrera, the mother of a
child who is responsible for delivering newspapers, told the local news
that she is going to burn the piles of NSL books they gave her daughter
to distribute to her newspaper route.
The books were part of a mass
mailing campaign in Wellington, Lower Hutt and surrounding areas to
share the Three Angels’ Messages with the community.
But the mother wasn’t upset that her 11-year-old daughter was delivering
advertisements for alcohol, she was only outraged about the National
Sunday Law books. Haley told the media that she was going to put the
stacks of National Sunday Law books in the “wood burner.”
This news was reported on March 9, 2021 by Stuff, New Zealand’s most
popular news website which has around 2 million monthly readers.
The report quoted Haley Rivas Herrera, who said she was “horrified” and
“disgusted” with the National Sunday Law book and called it “extreme
and insidious propaganda, extreme religious rhetoric” and a “conspiracy
theory.”
Why are Adventists silent and why would a newspaper distribution
company risk the possibility of legal action for not fulfilling its
contractual obligations and allow National Sunday Law books to be
burned? It is because nobody wants to feel the wrath of Rome:
“And they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him” Revelation 13:4.
We are witnessing the cancel culture and the denial of free speech and freedom to practice one’s faith." AdventMessenger
