Chapter 9—Conclusion

Ellen White had to face accusations against her integrity in her own lifetime. Similar charges against her today are neither new nor startling, when one examines the facts. Shortly after the turn of the century she was accused of hypocrisy (if not duplicity) in publicly advocating vegetarianism to her fellow church members while she continued (allegedly) secretly to follow a flesh diet. Such charges are, as we have demonstrated, unjustified and without foundation.EWV 27.4

To gain a proper understanding of the charges leveled against Ellen White’s integrity, one must view them from the broader perspective of Satan’s latter day objectives and methodology as revealed to Ellen White in 1890. She declared that Satan’s “very last deception” would be to destroy her credibility, and create a “satanic” hatred against her writings. ^{1Selected Messages 1:48.

About The Book
It is said that “to err is human,” and this certainly is true of the judgments certain critics of Ellen White have made, claiming that, on the one hand, she urged vegetarianism on Seventh-day Adventists, while on the other, she “secretly” ate meat. This little booklet brings out all the relevant facts and offers a reasonable explanation for these charges.

The case against Ellen White’s integrity, as far as research has revealed to date, is still as unfounded and unproven as it was during the lifetime of the prophet.EWV 28.2
