I think we all know the feeling of "trapped in church", when the sermon is either very boring and/or something we think is mistaken. Don't worry next week will be better! :)
I visited the church because I thought I would hear a better sermon, normally the guy is very biblical, but this was propaganda. but it is what i expect when I attend the SDA church, so i can't complaining to hard.

Trapped In church listening to sermon on the credibility of Ellen White as a prophet. Put a gun to my head and kill me already.
Hey, if a church sermon bothers you, it is always possible to walk out. I am not an Adventist, but this applies to all sermons regardless of denomination. God blessed myself for never having to walk out of a sermon before, but it is always possible for a bad sermon to happen. Don't worry, brother. God is with you, and He understands if one must leave the church building. :)

I do not know much about the context of this, but the only prophets that existed were back in Biblical times, though, we can all profess the Good News. Also, some Christians may have the ability to make predictions of the future with some margin of error, but not as well as what Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah and Ezekiel did.

No I was literally trapped in the church I wanted to walk out but I couldn't. I went to a really small church because the pastor was really good but once I sat down and he started preaching there was no way for me to exit the door there was literally people in my way.

Wait, what church is so crowded that you can not leave? At most churches I have been to (a few protestant ones, and my Catholic church), the exits are easily reachable, even from the middle pew or seat. What happens if there is an evacuation or fire? Might want to sit closer to the exit, man. :)

Hey, if worse come to worse, there are always other churches.
being an SDA, it is difficult to imagine going to another church. There are differences of Theology, Spirituality, Social Culture, education, practice.

That is true, denominations differ slightly on theology and culture, though we are all one body in Christ. :)
