Hi and welcome to the forum!

Hello,

I was raised in the Seventh Day Adventist church, and although I am not worthy to be called one, I cannot deny what I have learned from their resources. 

I am familiar with all of their doctrines, and I would like to say that they are unique to the rest of Christendom, despite the amalgamation of many of their sectors into common religions.

I'm not familiar with your religion so I'm curious, what's the difference between Seventh Day Adventists and other Christian sects, aside from the day of the week that you choose to meet?

Also, why does it matter what day you meet on in the first place?

No one is familiar with it, well apart from the likes of us that is. It's a marketing term. There was and still is money to be made. Follow the money!

How much money would the Seventh-day Adventist Church have for mission each year if world membership records were accurate and each member returned a faithful tithe?
About US$14 billion.
The denomination currently receives about $2 billion annually

Read it, weep and despair.

Tell me the difference between these groups: The Baptists, the Anabaptists, the copper bottomed Baptists. The Methodists, the galvanised Methodists?
All those catchy names were snapped up, up to and including, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Mormons!

Now that! Is one hard act to follow.
But the carpetbaggers spotted an angle, there was money to be made. They needed a new sales pitch. They needed an original (Sounding) name.

Look at the telly adverts: Muscular pain, joint pain, period pain, wasp stings premature ejaculation, buck teeth, club foot? They have the answer. And guess what, they all contain paracetamol. And guess what. Religion is selling you the the exact same thing. Religion is selling you something you probably don't need and most certainly does not work.
