DANNY and the SHACKS

October 6, 2019 

In this musical,  - at the bottom of this article - the Prophet Daniel is portrayed as the head-banging leader of a rock band. He also ‘sings’ rap music following his deliverance from the den of lions. The whole presentation has the bizarre feel of being in a nightclub or a secular movie house. You be the judge.


This presentation was directed by female Pastor Vivian Cook. After the presentation, the Florida Hospital Church served chicken wraps and ice cream, although the Prophet Daniel and his three friends are known for their dietary wisdom and restraint in Daniel chapter 1. Vivian Cook's husband, Tim, is the CEO of Florida Hospital, a hospital that has approved Yoga as one of their therapeutic procedures.

This is the same church that presented a disturbing children’s Christmass play on December 1 last year.

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. {Ev 137.2}
I am instructed that we shall meet with all kinds of experiences and that men will try to bring strange performances into the work of God. We have met such things in many places. In my very first labors the message was given that all theatrical performances in connection with the preaching of present truth were to be discouraged and forbidden. Men who thought they had a wonderful work to do sought to adopt a strange deportment and manifested oddities in bodily exercise. The light given me was, "Give this no sanction." These performances, which savored of the theatrical, were to have no place in the proclamation of the solemn messages entrusted to us. {Ev 137.3}
The enemy will watch closely and will take every advantage of circumstances to degrade the truth by the introduction of undignified demonstrations. None of these demonstrations are to be encouraged. The precious truths given us are to be spoken in all solemnity and with sacred awe.--Manuscript 19, 1910. {Ev 138.1}
