Vladimir Poutine posted:The Seventh Day Adventists in Tonga are pretty funny because they consider the international date line to be in a different place. They're one of the only denominations who have church on Saturdays and they couldn't convince Tongans to go then instead of Sundays because church on Sundays was pretty ingrained in Tonga by the point they showed up. So they just redrew their world maps so that the international date line was on the other side of Tonga, thus making Sunday Saturday. Interesting thread. When I was growing up in the SDA church there was a special interest in Pitcairn Island as most (all?) of the inhabitants were SDAs. There were several ham radio operators in my church who made a point of regularly working the Pitcairn station. Hilarious and sad that a bunch of them turned out to be kiddie diddlers. My mother left me several books on Pitcairn that I need to read sometime, but I suspect they won't mention this aspect of island life. Praise Jesus and save me a 10 year old!
