Seventh-day Adventism: Cult or Not?

If you really want to find out what any religious denomination is about, then find out what they think about the Word of God and the atoning work of Jesus Christ. Satan hates those two things and goes after them intensely. In this Ask Pastor Tim, he tests the writings of Ellen G. White with the Bible.

Question:

I recently decided to join the church I grew up in. The church is a Seventhday Adventist church. From my personal experience, the church taught me a lot about the gospel, but I know that the church is considered a cult in Christian society. I also know sometimes the doctrines set up by the founders of the church, out of the love of Christ, were sometimes misinterpreted by some members today. Should I join anyway, or should I leave it and find a new church?
