Just finished re-doing the work Poirer had done on chapter 5 in SoC ("Consecration"). It is interesting that even when borrowing from herself EGW edited the work and placed the quotes in new settings.

Of course, the critics would tell you that she copied slavishly and wouldn't tell you that putting quotes in new settings was an acceptable literary practice back then.

Isn't that the truth, DJ. Every time someone tells me that Mrs White said this or that, and it doesn't sound right to me, invariably, either I can't find the quote, or she is quoted wrong. And another thing: when people tell me those things, I ask them what book they read it in, they can never remember.

33. Alleged quote from EGW: {EGW: Lazarus, leads the donkey at the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The healed dumb shouted the loudest, healed blind led the way and the healed cripples broke the most branches. "}  Can't be found.

34. "Seeing this, in the light of her calling Him "Michael the Archangel" (Desire of Ages pp. 99, 379; Spiritual Gifts Vol. 1, p. 158; Prophets & Kings p. 572)"  Unfortunately for the critic there was no mention of  Michael in DA page 379, or in 1 SG 158, and there was no equation of Jesus with Michael in PK, 572.

35. Another alleged material from EGW: {EGW: THE SISTER OF MARTHA AND LAZARUS, WAS MARY MAGDALENE, AND SHE WAS LED INTO SIN BY SIMON. DA, p. 566,568.}  She doesn't.

36. "SHE WAS AN OCCULTIST FACT!"

37. "SHE WAS INVOLVED IN THE OCCULT THE ILLUMINATI!"

38. EGW copied her health ideas from Jackson.  (No examples were given, despite repeated requests and then when pressed further said that they were in the book by Numbers-not there either.)

39. That Ellen G. White copied other people's ideas.  Can't prove that words were copied and yet they can prove that ideas were?!?

40. That Ellen G. White didn't believe in the Trinity, or did she?  In either case, critics condemn her for either position.

You can prove that some of the above claims are false with as little as 5 minutes of work.  The critics, however, will never spend that 5 minutes and will never admit that any of the above are false (even if they never made the claims themselves!).
