No need to rest, Dave, you haven't begun to make a case.  Which is the thing that irks.  You dismiss the lifework of two great SDA minds with facile platitudes, without the semblance of making a case for your traditional view.  Still, this seems to be all that is left to the traditional camp nowdays.
In answer to your question, No, I am no longer a church employee.  God, in His grace, led me out of the darkness of Adventism into His marvellous light many years ago.  In case you ask, I am an occasional commenter here in part to encourage others who no longer see truth in the strange ideas of a disappointed group of nineteenth century  New Englanders who meant well, but clearly didn't have a clue.
