text: If these comments are even remotely representative of Adventists, it shows what some were taught is widely different:  some  were flooded with EGW  quotations, while others only recall that the Bible was the metric.  It should not be surprising, then, that no one individual represents Adventism today, or probably at any time.
  
  But one individual is the most influential currently:  Ted Wilson, G.C. President.  He has the benefit of the bully pulpit of SdA publications, and primarily, the official news weekly and monthly:  the Review.  Nearly all of his quoted sources  in every essay are from EGW, with rarely a Bible reference.  His position gives him unprecedented ability to influence members around the world.
  
  How was the church able to survive for nearly 2,000 years with Scripture alone?
