That question is a bit rhetorical at this point. None of the SDA churches I've been to even follow the manual. They only do so out of sheer momentum, but will go off track as soon as it is in any way inconvenient to the agenda of leadership (at any level). Their disobedience to the church manual, which is the authority (Romans 13) above all of us, causes disunity. This exact situation is even warned of in an EGW quote in the manual. They disobey God given commands for man made traditions (Pharisees).
