From Dirk Anderson with EllenWhite.org


quote:

Supporters of ellenwhite.org:

I want to give you a quick update of the latest news. The White Estate has stepped up their campaign of legal harrassment in an attempt to interfere with our work and syphon away our resources from our mission to reveal the truth about Ellen White. They have fired the first salvo in what appears to be the beginning of a legal battle over our right to use the name "Ellen White" in our domain. Their attorneys have filed a complaint with our domain name registration service claiming that they have a right to our domain name.

It is interesting to note that the Estate has taken no action against the other "Ellen White" web sites out there that have a pro-Ellen White slant. Their assault is clearly directed against us because of our message.

I have two things to ask of you. First and foremost, pray for our victory. When you consider the SDA church is a multi-billion dollar organization with deep pockets and plenty of high-paid lawyers, this is truly a case of David against Goliath. So we need your sincere prayers for victory.

Second, because of the legal attack we have had to retain an attorney who specializes in internet law. As you know, we have not asked for nor received any money for the operation of this web site in the 9+ years of its existence. However, if you feel led to help us out in building up a legal defense fund, we need your help now. We need to raise $1000 to cover attorney fees for the short term.

Life Assurance Ministries will be managing our legal defense fund, and here is the contact information:

Life Assurance Ministries
PO Box 11587
Glendale, AZ 85318

email: dale@ratzlaf.com
Phone: 623-572-9549

Thanks so much for your support! I've poured my whole life into this project and it means a lot to me to have others stand with me at a time like this.

God bless,
Dirk Anderson

Jorgfe, thank-you for the update. I have a couple of questions.

1) What is the opinion of the Internet lawyer?

2) What are the potential costs of dealing with this challenge?

3)Win or lose, the publicity to the website, and its contents is huge. This could, and should be looked upon as God's leading. I am trying to figure out what the brethern in Tacoma Park are thinking. Like I said earlier,if 60 Minutes picked this up, it could become a major story. I suspect David Neff at Christianity Today would be interested in following this story.

4) Can donations be made via Visa or Mastercard through Life Assurance Ministries. If so, I think this should be emphasized.

5)The whole mystic around Ellen White's ministry is steeped in information suppression. This is business as usual for the denominational spindoctors. Everybody has the RIGHT to review the evidence and decide for themselves.

6) This is truly an opportunity to stand up for the David vs Goliath.

7) Count me in!

This is more proof that it is the leadership of the SDA denomination that is continuing to propagate the disinformation about Ellen White, and the massive cover-up continues. This legal action shows how desperate the SDA administration is to suppress information. They know that Ellen's prophetic office cannot stand the test of investigation.

I know that Dirk doesn't seem to come here, but since Life Assurance is handling the defense fund, will we be able to get regular updates from Dale maybe on what is happening as this legal process moves forward?

Dirk's site was the very first step in removing the veil for me...and what a shocker it was :-) I value his ministry and feel that this is very important!

Me too! Dirk's site was instrumental in me seeing the truth about EGW and the plagarism that took place.

Dirk's site was also, by far, the most comprehensive in convincing me that Ellen White was a false prophet. Just take for example what we have been taught about the Fox sisters, or her "2000" visions.

She rightfully belongs in the same company of Joseph Smith and Mary Baker Eddy.

Jorgfe,

Is the statement from Dirk Anderson published anywhere on his website? Or is the intent to not make it known to those enquiring SDA's who enter his site? (As to not scare them off)

Dirk's website is the one I had book marked that I went to 2 years ago. It is there I read all about EGW. I thank God for him and all others who have websites telling about the false doctrine of the Adventist church.
