2013 update: The website exposing Ellen White lost its battle.\u00a0 Links here go to the NEW site when applicable.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Please pray for the failure of a legal harassment programme against\u00a0The Ellen White Research Project<\/a>, a website that is a huge source of information on the Adventist prophetess Ellen White.<\/p>\n

I recommend you visit\u00a0The Ellen White Research Project<\/a> and see the vast amount of info there is.\u00a0 Run by Dirk Anderson, I think it’s the best online resource for information on her erroneous teachings.<\/p>\n

I received this information via Robert Sanders’ website,\u00a0Truth or Fables<\/a>, another excellent resource on Adventism and their prophetess.<\/p>\n

The following is what was sent out by e-mail – posted with Dirk’s permission:<\/p>\n

Supporters of <\/span>ellenwhiteexposed.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I want to give you a quick update of the latest news. The White Estate has
\nstepped up their campaign of legal harrassment in an attempt to interfere
\nwith our work and syphon away our resources from our mission to reveal the
\ntruth about Ellen White. They have fired the first salvo in what appears to
\nbe the beginning of a legal battle over our right to use the name “Ellen
\nWhite” in our domain. Their attorneys have filed a complaint with our domain
\nname registration service claiming that they have a right to our domain
\nname.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that the Estate has taken no action against the
\nother “Ellen White” web sites out there that have a pro-Ellen White slant.
\nTheir assault is clearly directed against us because of our message.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have two things to ask of you. First and foremost, pray for our victory.
\nWhen you consider the SDA church is a multi-billion dollar organization with
\ndeep pockets and plenty of high-paid lawyers, this is truly a case of David
\nagainst Goliath. So we need your sincere prayers for victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Second, because of the legal attack we have had to retain an attorney who
\nspecializes in internet law. As you know, we have not asked for nor received
\nany money for the operation of this web site in the 9+ years of its
\nexistence. However, if you feel led to help us out in building up a legal
\ndefense fund, we need your help now. We need to raise $1000 to cover
\nattorney fees for the short term.<\/span><\/p>\n

Life Assurance Ministries will be managing our legal defense fund, and here
\nis the contact information:<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks so much for your support! I’ve poured my whole life into this project
\nand it means a lot to me to have others stand with me at a time like this.<\/span><\/p>\n

God bless,

A clarifying quote from the\u00a0News section on Dale Ratzlaf’s site<\/a>:<\/p>\n

For people who wish to send a check for the Legal Defense Fund for <\/span>[defunct site], you may send it to LAM Publications, LLC P.O. Box 11587, Glendale AZ 85318. Please note that this donation may NOT be tax deductible at this time. However, if the board of LAM, Inc. accepts this project, then all donations for this project will be tax deductible.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A further shocking statement from\u00a0the same page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We understand that the White Estate (or General Conference) has secured the services of a Catholic attorney to do this. Please pray that God’s will be done. This site has some 800 pages of FACTUAL material on Ellen White that has helped many thousands of Adventists find the truth about the “White lie”.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Somewhat hypocritical of the White Estate, I’d say.\u00a0 Adventism is notoriously anti-Catholic, and promotes huge volumes of dishonest anti-Catholic propaganda.\u00a0 The White Estate and the writings of Ellen White are especially so, being on the right wing of Adventism.\u00a0 Now they are getting a Catholic to do their dirty work.\u00a0 This is a shame.\u00a0 He has the right to choose what work he takes and what work he does not take.\u00a0 Maybe he just doesn’t know what the White Estate is promoting, and that he has taken up a religious cause inimical to his Catholic and Christian faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
