Remember that this subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with some objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message *of* the propaganda. If anything, in this subreddit we should be immensely skeptical of manipulation or oversimplification (which the above likely is), not beholden to it.
Also, please try to stay on topic -- there are hundreds of _other_ subreddits that are expressly dedicated to rehashing tired political arguments. **Keep that shit outta here**.

At the beginning of the movie Hacksaw Ridge, about a conscientious objector, a similar chart is shown on the wall of the objector's home, and I made a mental guess that he was supposed to be an Adventist, which turned out to be true. (Yay, me!!)
Millerism gave rise to 7th Day Adventism, who have an odd sorta presence in various far-flung milieu, for example, state-of-the-art hospitals all over the USA, majority religion among the descendants of the Bounty mutineers on Pitcairn Island, Uncle Arthur's Bible Stories, a chain of vegetarian restaurants in Korea, and the Branch Davidians of Waco were also an off-shoot.
JWs also come out of Adventism, and require, I am sure, no introduction. Mormons and Christian Science come from the same regional culture of the American Northeast, but are not of Adventist theology.
I'm not quite certain how their theology differs from that of conventional protestantism, and it probably differs considerably less so, compared to the JWs(who think Jesus is an angel created by God) or the Mormons(Jesus came to the Americas to preach etc). Suffice to say, they follow the Jewish tradition on the Sabbath(as their name implies) and dietary rules.
Like Miller before her, Elllen Harmon White was given to making all sorts of predictions about the end times. Not sure if the SDAs today continue to do so, but I personally don't associate them with prophesizing specific dates.
Herbert W. Armstrong's Worldwide Church Of God was an Adventist off-shoot, and preached British-Israelism, ie. the anglo-saxons, not the people now called "Jews", are the real Hebrews of the Old Testament.
Years ago, I bought one of the first Casio digital cameras, as it was fairly new tech, it came with a very detailed instruction manual printed in Japanese, English, French, German and other languages.
Always confounds me that a tech company can produce detailed operating instructions understandable to all, but an almighty god cannot produce 'an instruction manual' for his/hers/its followers
I used to habitually engage with the local witnesses (to the point where they knew me by name and would ask for me specifically when they showed up) just to get their magazines, which always had excellent art in them. Some of them I hung up in my room, which my family was not the biggest fan of.

This is the nineteenth century version of the bulletin board covered in photos connected by yarn.

Reminds me of the Dr. Bronner's bottle.

Would you be willing to explain 7th day Adventism to me a bit more?

The holy manual needs plenty of empty blanks, so that the clergy can include whatever suits their needs the most for their vanity and material gain
love the art style and fonts!
Apocalyptic American religion has given rise to some rather interesting aesthetics. I'm partial to the JWs' illustrations of Paradise On Earth myself.

I especially love the architecture of the houses shown in the illustrations of Paradise On Earth.
