A Match from Hell and the Myth of a Safe Church (Article 9/15)
Most victims of domestic violence and sexual assault that I spoke to for this series in the Seventh-day Adventist Church are aware by their own experience of how ill-equipped the Church is to deal with their trauma. They, however, aren’t prepared for the vast army of church lawyers and self-serving administrators to deny them any […]

Phone Conversation between Anita & Union President Dragan Gruijicić
This conversation occurred during the Fall of 2020. It is revelatory for how difficult it was for this victim of spousal abuse to be heard or taken seriously by this President. Pastor Gruijicić agreed that Mr. Quispe had abused Anita during the conversation, yet he questioned why Anita tried to seek help and precisely why […]
Seventh-day Adventist Church Retaliates against Abuse Victim and her family. (Serbian Translation)
Hrišćanska adventistička crkva sedmog dana čini odmazdu nad žrtvom zlostavljanja i njenom porodicom Ovo je priča od ženi koja je govorila o seksualnom, emocionalnom i duhovnom zlostavljanju od strane svog sada bivšeg muža.

Expanded Whistleblower Audio Transcript (Serbian)
Adrijanova beleška: Intelligent Adventist objavljuje kompletan prevod audio zapisa načinjenog od strane uzbunjivača radi dodatnog konteksta našim čitaocima. U članku u kojim smo objavili uzbunjivačev transkript rekli smo da je to „reč za reč“ prevod. To nije bila precizna karakterizacija. To je bio prepis „istaknutih“ delova razgovora koji se dogodio u Nišu, 2. Marta. Propovednik […]

In the article in which we published the whistleblower transcript we said the audio was a “word for word” translation. That was not an accurate characterization. It was a transcription of the “highlights” […]
