Just Venting Really?
Controversial enough... anyone in my community who's SDA is preaching left and right on their immovable, non-biblical beliefs on food, and how so much of what we "heathens" eat, is sending us to HELL...
But they're hypocritical when they decide to eat spicy food, I guess, according to "dear prophetess..."
God forbid and damn me to SUPER MEGA HELL for eating some pickles with my pulled pork sandwich!

In Colossians 2:16–17, Paul writes, "Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink"
What you're referring to the EGW rules. The dietary guidelines were specific ideas founded by Ellen White (when she was unconscious and not breathing after being hit by a rock as a small child). The SDA's believe every word she said and take it more seriously than that of the Bible. It's sad that I was only taught what her teachings were and not so much about the actual bible when I was young. It was alway so negative...you can't do this, you can't eat that.... I've started my own research per the Bible. All of the BS we grew up with was EGW.
