The SDAs have extensive evangelism in Africa, South America and China and his is what builds their numbers. I also don't think the 35 million is accurate.
The SDAs are facing problems at this time there could be two Adventist churches soon because differences between them are being promoted. The general conference is at odds with the unions and conferences over compliance in five areas. Womens ordination, Church doctrine, Homosexuality, Evolution etc. Five committees have been set up to ensure compliance and the unions and conferences are upset. Disciplinary action has been talked about by the General conference such as shaming conference leaders before they are allowed to talk in committees. Many conferences have written to the General conference objecting to such unchristian and undemocratic suggestions. Many women have been made pastors by the conferences and is a thorn in the side of the general conference. Also the SDAs are not a creedal church but the General are trying to make the 28 fundamentals a creed. Time will tell what will happen

https://youtu.be/39ZfrO0UW_s There is an interest story to this one because the mormons sing this and have changed the words because they don't believe the trinity doctrine. Also the SDA church didn't believe the trinity doctrine in th early 1900 but sang this song with 'God reigns eternally' now because the trinity doctrine is accepted by most SDAs they sing the original ' God in three persons blessed trinity' and also the holy holy holy denotes the trinity. Not to be sung in the KH ever.

I had one of those in our house. The guy lives next door is into Pokemon and he found one in our lounge room. I don't know about the internet and these strange animals but one of them sitting in the long room freaked me out.

How Long Before They Introduce Tithing?
by pale.emperor inwhen i was a full-on believing jw i had an obsessive fascination with mormonism.
i read, studied and watched their propaganda with strange interest as well as their apostate mormon books.
i have to say, they have a good scam going claiming that "the lord reintroduced tithing" in the modern age.

To be able to tithe the congregation the members have to be wealthy. In order to be wealthy people have to be educated unless they win lotto or have a rich family.
I was an SDA and they are very active in promoting education with their own colleges and universities . The Anglicans also promote education with their institutions.
The Anglican church I attend collects $300,000 a year from tithes payed by the members of 250
Tithe is used to pay ministers wages in the SDAs
