Exodus 20:10
This woman who died founded a Sabbath keeping Church--but she also was sadly focused on the prosperity gospel as it relates to a diet plan and was anti-trinitarian....i've known of her church's existence for several years but never knew of how she discovered the Sabbath Truth ....unless she simply just picked the Bible up and read it on the topic.

The Weigh Down Diet, which is still in use today, simply consists of having people eat less food and only during certain times, instead turning to turn to God in prayer and Bible study to help them avoid overeating.

making it the staging ground for the ministry. Twenty years later,
there are nearly 150 churches and only 1500 congregants between them."
