and why they have White church, black church, hispanic church...why so much segregation if they are the "Church of God". Why do they treat the rich differently than the poor?

Adventists believe that Ellen G. White, their founder, is a saint because of her writings. They like to overlook the fact that most of her writings are plagiarism, and she rarely had an original thought herself. And if that were not enough, they follow a woman who rationalized the blatantly false prophecies of William Miller.
Her plagiarisms were deemed "inspired" by Adventists and then included (good grief!) in Canon!

Where did you get that idea??
According to the test of the prophets in Deuteronomy 18 she passed every test....all that she said, did, and wrote passed the tests and was of God.....
I do not know of any segregation...in some areas where there is not a Sabbath church, people will get together and have what is called a "home church" and that might be what you perceive incorrectly...
All are treated the same....I have gone to church and pot luck afterward with Dr, lawyers, farmers, and homeless all in the same pew, the same Bible study, and the same table at pot luck...
we had 20 people at thanksgiving one year at the Dr home and his wife and family, 3 homeless guys from the bible study group, a recovering woman, and me recently divorced....
we are all the family of God and am very perplexed at such a statement....
regarding pork and other unclean meats...Deuteronomy 14 and Leviticus 11......dietary and health laws....
you will not go to hell for eating pork, but your health will.....
pig, dog, cat, rat, vulture, skunk, shrimp, clam, crab, lobster, these are all animals that are the clean crew for the environment...they were never intended as food....
The information that Ellen White provided during her life time has all proved beneficial and hasbeen found to be scientifically correct....Her information has been shared with the world, none of it has been keep a secret.....
The SDA church does not regard Ellen White as a saint, but as a prophet whose words have been confirmed by the word of God in the Bible.....

I don't know how crap is in "your area," pal, but I am friends with a couple that is adventist - one is white and the other hispanic - they go to the same church.
Don't blame the stupidity of your own area and their segregation on the entire church.
Update: And I have never once seem them treat the rich differently than the poor. They are the only group I know that sets up soup kitchen duties downtown for homeless shelters.
As someone who has actually met Adventists, I can tell that your just trying to spread propaganda, go back to your cave troll.
Update #2: "Voice," the adventists aren't mormons, so I doubt his answers have anything to do with anything found in the mormon bible.

The answers here are amazing... no one here even knows the first thing about the Adventists, except June.
Next, why don't we say the adventists worship Satan? You know... just so we can keep showing our ignorance. Perhaps they also fly purple cars! Or maybe they like to eat snails! Wow... how fun.

It has something to do with the reformation of 1612 on the island of Quataramarou! I think if you read the Book of Mormon upside down while drinking red wine vintaged in 1846, the entire mystery will come together nicely. Don't forget the medallion of Sorisis and the lamb chops dipped in honey!
