Should be a slam dunk.
Additionally, their practice of at least trying (but by missing the sunset/sunset standard God set) of actually honoring the Sabbath is an embarrassment to most other faiths. Best to just erase the 7th Day Adventist brand.
There must be divisions within even the one true (according to them) church. When I was there, the "sabbath" was sunset Friday until sunset on Saturday and that church, to the best of my knowledge, still teaches that.
I always thought it was a cheat on their part to have a holy day where you couldn't do stuff you would normally do, then spread it out over two days so that you still could anyway.
Your description of White is off having her as only the founder of the church. She's also, according to them, a modern day prophet.
