You sound like a paranoid SOB that has poor socializing skills or just isn't liked.

First, I was speaking of social patterns that have been observed in a general way. Individual cases always vary. Further, Seventh-Day-Adventists are different, more stick-to-themselves, religion-wise. The place you mention, I suspect, was not in Tennessee or any state touching it.

As for your final comment, well, just try to imagine being called paranoid by a desert-living survivalist militia dude!
