I was prowling around R/S and found this little list just posted there with a series of "little known prophecies" that are meant to encourage the brethren. ---------- Here are a few prophecies that may be little-known among us Seventh-day Adventists: 1. Satan will send his angels to play the part of dead apostles and dead wicked people. 2. Christ's birth, death, and resurrection will be copied. 3. Exalting the standard and pouring forth the straight truth will cause the Shaking. 4. The Loud Cry occurs after the Shaking, and before measures (laws) are passed against those giving it. 5. The Loud Cry = calling people out of Babylon (fallen churches). 6. The popular teaching of wicked pastors in the last days will be: "Everybody saved". 7. There is a special resurrection for the righteous who died from around 1844 up to the last one who dies. 8. The New Jerusalem comes down before the wicked are raised. 9. The resurrected wicked will have time to make lots of weapons. Praise God he has given us these prophecies to confirm our faith as we get ready for the Time of Trouble. Smile ---------- I can only guess where these so-called prophecies came from. I haven't seen a single one of them in the Bible. Look at prophecy #6 -- it's a little ironic that this very doctrine is being preached the loudest from a few Adventist pulpits. | ||

So we keep praying for our SDA brethren, that they will find that all that they need is Jesus. It is so sad to see them believing in EGW still, even with all the evidence showing she is a false prophet. Diana | ||

I call it "the Sister White Says" Club, because everything starts with Sister White Says______________ | ||

Ah, you've noticed it, too. It is pervasive in SDA day-to-day, and most Adventists use that phrase automatically. I only wish they were as willing to quote Jesus, or Paul, or John... I think I made the statement somewhere else on this forum (or was it at Spectrum?) that we will know that the Holy Spirit is making inroads into Adventism when that phrase fades away. | ||

My wife and I got into the SDA Church through Amazing Facts, Steve DeLong. He always said :if it's in the Bible we believe it, if it's not we don't". I think that was the first of MANY lies I heard during that series. The General Conference HQ in Silver Spring actually has an Ellen G White Estate, like a shrine to her!!! | ||

I have never been any further east than Omaha, Nebraska, and I would actually love to tour the White Estate simply because I've heard that name all of my life and I'd like to see the home in which she lived "so humbly." I agree that it is maintained like a shrine even though I've never seen it. All of the first and last words of Adventism are kept there! | ||

Actually Belva, Elmshaven is very close by to you at St Helena, and they sure treat that final living place of hers like a shrine. When I visited as a kid, you had to be very quiet when you walked through, and then there was one picture on a wall which EGW said looked more like Christ than any other picture, and that was a special reverent place in that shrine.

Yes, and there's a "Heritage Room" in the library at LLU. It has many original manuscripts and old books in a special locked room which can only be accessed if you have proper credentials and reasons. There's also a glass cabinet with some items of clothing Ellen wore, such a hat, a shawl, I think... It's been years since I've been in there, but in the late 90s I went there to get a photopraph of EGW for the cover of Adventist Today. We used that photo of her as an older woman wearing black and sitting in a wooden arm chair with her arm on the arm of the chair. I'd seen that picture many times in print, but I'd never seen it before without beng airbrushed. Richard and I were amazed at how hard and cold she looked without the help of a touch-up artist. Her pores were large; her eyes were cold and piercing, and she looked--well, she looked scary. The printer told us later that the kids he hired to help stuff envelopes were commenting on her "snake eyes". It's so interesting to see things without the filters on. Those EGW filters remind me of the green hypnotic powder the Green Witch used on the children in "The Silver Chair" in the Narnia series. Praise God He pulled me out of that deceptive fog and brought me to Jesus! Colleen (Message edited by Colleentinker on August 19, 2005) | ||

Oh 91steps, I'm glad you escaped from the mind control of those "Amazing Facts"! Those crusades were horrible. Unfortunately, I remember all too well many of their sermons...one on the evils of wedding rings and one even on the sinfulness of saying "darn"! grace always, cindy | ||

Colleen, Yes, Ellen White's pictures are scary! I always wondered why she looked so fat! (even though her black clothes would help minimize her weight). Wasn't she supposed to be the promoter/prophet of the "health message"?! I'm somewhat overweight myself, but definitely not claiming visions from God about what others should or should not eat! grace always, cindy | ||

Colleen, Can you send me some photos of Ellen White through e-mail? A picture can speak a lot of things for people. Thanks, Jackob |
