Seventh Day Adventists follow the Bible PLUS the teaching of their cultish founder, Ellen G. White.
Usually you'll find them to be vegetarians and strict observers of Saturday Sabbath.
They have their own version of the Bible, which includes heretical teachings added to the scriptures, and it's founder would never relinquish the false prophecies of a Rev. Miller in the 1800's that proclaimed that the world would end.
(When the date went by with nothing happening, he claimed he had miscalculated, then re-issued his prophecy for the following year. He faded away in disgrace, but the Adventists plowed ahead with the same prophecies already proven to be false. )

Adventist Controversy Sharpens
? “Plagiarism by foundress rocks Adventist Church,” declared a headline in the Atlanta Journal and Constitution. The controversy centers around recent findings regarding the writings of the Church’s main founder, Mrs. Ellen G. White. She had claimed that her writings, from 1844 to 1915, were based on the many visions she had in which God’s voice supposedly instructed her on everything from Bible doctrine to matters of diet and dress. However, Adventist scholars have discovered that in her writings she had copied various other sources “more extensively than we had previously believed.” Desmond Ford, who was recently stripped of his ministerial credentials by the Church for challenging Mrs. White’s writings, said: “Her teachings have been misused as a basis for doctrine, almost as a substitute for the Bible.”
Former Adventist minister Walter Rea, who also was ousted after finding extensive evidence of her plagiarism, declared: “She copied and borrowed for almost everything. Some of this was known before, but not the immense extent of it. What we’ve now discovered magnifies it tremendously, much of it at the very heart of her theology.” He noted that a “shocking amount” of the plagiarism is being concealed from lay members of the Church, adding: “This [concealment] is more damaging than simply telling the truth. It’s not going to go away. It’s going to get worse.”

I am a seventh day adventist and it is just like any christian church ecxept we go to church on saturday. We go on saturday becuase if you looked on the calender sunday is really the first day of the week and in the bible it says that god made earth in six days and on the seventh day day he rested. so on saturday we rest and go to church and saturday is really the day god planned it to be the day to go to church and rest and all that stuff but man changed it. So basiclly it is really right.
