Trivia Question--Date of Organization

[Gregory Matthews]

I find denominational history interesting, informational and of value.  How many of you can tell us, without looking, the year in which the SDA denomination was formally organized?

A major organizational unit (which shall remain nameless) of the SDA denomination has posted on a website to be read by the world at large a year in which is says that the denominational was formally organized.  From the following listed dates, pick the one year  in which this organization has stated that the SDA denomination was formally organized.

1)  1965

2)  1965

3)  1965

4)  1965

NOTE:  Today, five (5) days after I sent that organization an e-mail suggesting that they look into their posted date they responded to me, thanked me and stated that they would look into it.

Could it possibly be "1965?"

Ah, you are intelligent.  You have correctly answered the question.  That major SDA organization did post on their website that the SDA denomination was organized in 1965!

So, I guess that Ellen G. White was never a Seventh-day Adventist!  She died 50 years before the founding of our denomination!
