	Yes, they do, if by 'annihilationism' you mean the belief that
instead of being tortured for eternity, the evil and unfaithful
of the world will simply die forever. The Church of God (7th Day)
also believes this - these are all Sabbath churches. Other groups
do also, and many individuals belonging to other churches. (I 
do too).
