Let’s go to theaters to watch a movie about a woman who said not to go to theaters

This is apostasy, have you seen what movies is made by the leading actress playing the role of E.G.W? It's a disgrace to God's Holy Name, and you promote this? Read this from the pen of Ellen White: "I have a message for those in charge of our work. Do not encourage the men who are to engage in this work to think that they must proclaim the solemn, sacred message in a theatrical style. Not one jot or tittle of anything theatrical is to be brought into our work. God's cause is to have a sacred, heavenly mold. Let everything connected with the giving of the message for this time bear the divine impress. Let nothing of a theatrical nature be permitted; for this would spoil the sacredness of the work." 25LtMs, Ms 19, 1910, par. 1

🙏Principle is key! Prayerfully read this counsel.
Ev 137 “I have a message for those in charge of our work. Do not encourage the men who are to engage in this work to think that they must proclaim the solemn message in a theatrical style. Not one jot or tittle of anything theatrical is to be brought into our work. God's cause is to have a sacred, heavenly mold. Let everything connected with the giving of the message for this time bear the divine impress. Let nothing of a theatrical nature be permitted, for this would spoil the sacredness of the work.”
Ev 139 “Our success will depend on carrying forward the work in the simplicity in which Christ carried it forward, without any theatrical display.”
Ev 396.2 “In our work we are not to go onto a hilltop to shine. We are not told that we must make a special, wonderful display. The truth must be proclaimed in the highways and the byways, and thus work is to be done by sensible, rational methods. The life of every worker, if he is under the training of the Lord Jesus Christ, will reveal the excellence of His life. The work that Christ did in our world is to be our example, as far as display is concerned. We are to keep as far from the theatrical and the extraordinary as Christ kept in His work. Sensation is not religion, although religion will exert its own pure, sacred, uplifting, sanctifying influence, bringing spiritual life, and salvation.”
11MR 338.1 “There is an abundance of theatrical performances in our world, but in its highest order it is without God.”
9MR 387.2 “Those who make use of devices that are theatrical in nature, to hold the attention of the people, lose the realization of the presence of Christ. Those who use so much time in preparing for their meetings, depending to a large extent on outward appearance to impress the people, give Jesus no opportunity to work on hearts. They mingle the common with the sacred.”
2MR 246.3 . “Satan's ruling passion is to pervert the intellect and cause men to long for shows and theatrical performances.”
AH 515.4 “The true Christian will not desire to enter any place of amusement or engage in any diversion upon which he cannot ask the blessing of God. He will not be found at the theater,”
AH 516.1 “To those who plead for these diversions we answer, We cannot indulge in them in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. The blessing of God would not be invoked upon the hour spent at the theater…. No one would wish to be found there when Christ shall come.”
AH 516.2 “There is no influence in our land more powerful to poison the imagination, to destroy religious impressions, and to blunt the relish for the tranquil pleasures and sober realities of life than theatrical amusements. The love for these scenes increases with every indulgence as the desire for intoxicating drink strengthens with its use. The only safe course is to shun the theater, the circus, and every other questionable place of amusement.”
General Conference Committee, March 10, 1937 “There is, first of all, a fundamental distinction between natural pictures, or pictures of real life, and pictures of dramatized theatrical plots. This is a basic line of demarcation. By the former are meant scenes which are reproduced through the motion-picture camera wholly of natural life…. In contrast, there are the motion pictures of dramatized theatrical plots, usually produced by professional actors and actresses. The very principle upon which these are constructed is inherently wrong, and cannot be approved or condoned by the church. The history and the present estate of theatrical drama show it to be opposed to the highest ideals of morality, and alien to spiritual life. Its themes are built upon human passion. Theatrical films are evil in their influence, and consequently unacceptable, because they confuse the thinking of our people regarding the Seventh-day Adventist attitude toward the theater, the opera, and novel reading; because they create an appetite for emotional reaction which can be satisfied only by further indulgence; and because they make an unwarranted play, upon the emotions. This is wrong, because emotional stimulation without appropriate action is destructive to character development. Pictures which play upon the emotions create an appetite for the sensational, causing the individual to live in the realm of the unreal, destroying responsiveness to duty, and resulting in emotional instability. The motion-picture house has so popularized the theater that millions are daily in attendance at exhibitions which can only exert an influence toward lowered standards of Christian purity. We believe that to no small degree it is responsible for the present breakdown of morality. There can therefore be no compromise here without tragic loss and fundamental mistake. While it may be necessary at times to go to theatrical buildings for evangelistic meetings, or to hear wholesome lectures or musical concerts, we should avoid, just as far as possible, attendance at places devoted to shows and theatrical performances.”
With such basic principles clearly established and accepted in our selection of films, we are convinced that certain motion pictures can be used effectively and helpfully in God's cause, for purposes of education, enlightenment, and wholesome entertainment.”
II. UNACCEPTABLE FILMS

The lead actress, Tommy-Amber Pirie, is well known and acclaimed for her work in sexually perverse films. While she previously portrayed the church leader, Ellen White, in a similar film for our church, Tell The World (2016), she later followed with, The Retreat (2021), a slasher-horror film in which she plays the lesbian lover of another protagonist. One of her previous credits included a film called, How To Plan An Orgy. There's another with a title I would not repeat. These are only a few film credits in the same vein.
She is then chosen a second time, to portray Ellen White, a woman of profound spiritual piety and insight, a leading pioneer of our church.
A cursory view of the other actors and their film history produces similar credits to Toomy-Amber Pirie
Of course, you will say it is "only acting". You will deny any spiritual influence such an actor could bring to her role, though even actors themselves declare this to be the essence of their craft. They see themselves as truth tellers through works of fiction, searching to portray the most profound spiritual experiences of a corrupt humanity.
"To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work."
— Titus 1:15-16
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
— 2 Corinthians 6:14 - 7:1
I hope you have the courage to keep this comment visible.
You're endorsement, your production and promotion of this film fills me with sadness as I consider the Laodicean condition of our church
