So I wrote them a letter and asked about her addiction and the recipe I had gotten I think from gilbert on the vinegar and here is what they had to say to me.. Dear Wolfgang Thank you for contacting the Ellen G. White Estate. Ellen White’s struggle over vinegar is described in her own words that have been published for 70 years in Counsels on Diet and Foods. There are things about this that we would like to know, such as just when these events occurred. It is obvious from what she wrote that she was describing events somewhere in the past, that is, not recent to the time of writing. But we don’t know what the actual time frame is. Be that as it may, the only thing “new” in this presentation that you inquired about is the claim that it was a high content of alcohol that was affecting her. Though fermentation is a necessary step in the making of vinegar, what the author fails to mention is that recipes for vinegar (as for almost anything else) varied widely. Some, like those the author quoted, used alcohol directly among their ingredients. Others substituted such things as honey or fruit parings. No one knows the recipe or the percentage of alcohol content in the vinegar Ellen White referred to. I hope this may help. Thank you for writing, and God bless!

Take one down, pass it around, 99 bottles of vinegar on the wall... Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't her description of "vinegar withdrawl" match the symptoms of withdrawl from alcohol? | ||

We don't know. We just don't know. It could be, but again then it might not be. And we haven't known for a long time. And we don't know today. Most likely tomorrow we still won't know. Who knows? As SDA Pastor Kevin Morgan stated, "It is possible that she may have spoken something from her best judgment that was not correct. She herself gives us examples of this kind of thing--matters of judgment that God later revealed as being incorrect.It is too bad that the Mormon and Adventist Churches don't merge. Their apologists seem to borrow from each other's playbooks. Like Colleen says, "When I try to talk with Adventists who are entrenched in their thinking I get a real tired feeling." Don't we all! Adventism is one big cesspool of deception. Gilbert Jorgensen | ||

I love it, Gilbert--the Mormons and SDAs borrow from each other's play books. Absolutely. No matter what the White Estate says, Ellen described her own struggle with "vinegar addiction" in terms that sound like alcohol addiction. Further, how does one become addicted to vinegar? What is the addictive substance in vinegar? We know, however, that fermentation precedes full-blown vinegar. Hello!! Is there something awry here?! Wearily, Colleen | ||

Colleen, most people don't realize that the Mormon position on the black priesthood was heavily influenced by Ellen White's "Amalgamation of man and beast" insight. I initially found out this information at a black Mormon site. http://exposingadventism.com/content/facts/racial-prejudice_race-relations-mormonism.php Gilbert Jorgensen (Message edited by jorgfe on December 18, 2008) | ||

Gilbert, I remember reading these findings earlier when you posted them. So interesting! As you said, "the same play book..." Colleen |
