А ВОТ ЕЩЁ ОДНО ИНТЕРЕСНОЕ МЕСТО "ПОЗДНЕГО ЗАЖИГАНИЯ" ПРОРОКА ПО ИМЕНИ "ЕСЛИ БЫ, ДА КАБЫ"
Книга "Великая борьба" страница 458
http://www.otkrovenie.de/white/knigi/KV5_velikaya_borba/index.htm
"Если бы те, кто участвовал в движении 1844 года, приняли весть третьего ангела и возвестили бы ее в силе Святого Духа, Господь совершил бы через них величайшие дела. На землю были бы излиты целые потоки света. Давно бы жители земли получили предостережение, последний этап работы был бы завершен, и Христос пришел бы для искупления Своего народа".
Это не что иное, как пророчество на прошедшее время. Обычно пророчествуют о будущем, но видно есть и такой метод пророков - ЕСЛИ БЫ...
Всё шло по плану, но некий дядя Вася и не принял некую весть. Планы Господа были разрушены.
ОНА ЯВНО ИЗДЕВАЛАСЬ НАД ВЕЛИКИМ ПЛАНОМ СПАСЕНИЯ .
На одном ресурсе я высказал свою мысль, что 2300 вечеров и утр, могли обозначать количество вечерних и утренних жертв, и обозначать 1150 дней. Что не обязательно связывать выражение "вечеров и утр" с текстами творения "и был вечер и было утро". Адвентисты сразу подсчитали дату выпадающую на 694-й год Н.Э. а потом написали, что в этот год небыло ничего знаменательного, что указало бы на переход Иисуса во "Святая святых".
А в 1844 году конечно были великие события. НО КАКИЕ? Первая нефтяная скважина и то только в следующем году произведена. Может они имели ввиду "великий лохотрон Миллера", который обеспечил себе безбедную старость за счёт поверивших в его проповедь о конце света в этом году?
В книге Е.Уайт "Опыты и видения" на стр. 16, она дала точное определение вопросу "КТО ТАКИЕ 144000". (КСТАТИ НЕ ПРОТИВОРЕЧИТ БИБЛИИ. Просто там нет объяснения этому числу спасённых... Подставляй любое значение и не пойдёшь в разрез с Библией)
http://cddk.ru/autohtml.php?filename=Teologia_Elena_Uait/Rannie_proizvedeniia.htm#4
"Вскоре мы услышали голос Божий, подобный шуму многих вод, который возвестил нам день и час пришествия Иисуса. Оставшиеся в живых святые, число которых было 144000, знали и понимали этот голос, тогда как нечестивые подумали, что это гром и землетрясение".
То-есть, это число спасённых, которые встретили второе пришествие Иисуса ЖИВЫМИ.
Далее (стр. 41) мы можем прочесть такой текст:
"Я никак не могла примириться с мыслью, что мне придется возвратиться в темный мир. Но ангел сказал: «Ты должна вернуться на землю, но если останешься верной, то будешь иметь преимущество вместе с 144000 посещать все миры и созерцать повсюду дела Божий»".
Умерла Елена Уайт в 1915 году.
Толи она не осталась верной, толи неверными были видения.

"Мне были показаны те, кто присутствовал на конференции. Ангел сказал: "Кто-то из них станет пищей для червей (Сестра Кларисса М. Бонфей, почившая в Иисусе спустя три дня после этого видения, была тогда в добром здравии. Кларисса была глубоко убеждена, что она одна из тех, кому суждено сойти в могилу, и передавала это убеждение другим.), иные подвергнутся семи последним язвам, а некоторые будут живы и останутся на земле, чтобы преобразиться при Христовом явлении".

"I was shown the company present at the Conference. Said the angel: «Some food for worms,* some subjects of the seven last plagues, some will be alive and remain upon the earth to be translated at the coming of Jesus.»"
ЛИЧНО Я НЕ ВСТРЕЧАЛ ЛЮДЕЙ, КОТОРЫМ В НАШЕ ВРЕМЯ ИСПОЛНИЛОСЬ ПОЛТОРЫ СОТНИ ЛЕТ.
Может семь язв проходили в 19-м веке?
А может ангел Божий ей соврал на конференции?
Тогда ангел не Божий.
В любом случае сама Уайта соврать не могла. Скорее ангел соврёт, чем она.

ЕСТЬ ФОТОКОПИЯ ГАЗЕТЫ ЗА 1845 год. Энтузиасты перерыли всю национальную библиотеку США, и приволокли на всемирную сеть сканированную копию газеты. Я английского не знаю, но через гугл понял, что текст был машиной копирован и оцифрован. Я ненужное взял зелёным цветом. Чтоб не путаться.

were hugging and kissing each other -Dam-
mon would lay on tho floor, then jump up -
Utey would frequently go into another, room.
D unman haa no means to support himaelf that
I know of. The meetiug appeared very ir-
religious—have seen him sit on the floor with
a woman between his legs ond his arms a-
round her. Cro« examined. The room
they went into was a back room ; dont know
what was in it — I u*as in two rooms where
there was a fire. In the back room they laid
tha worid'a people must not go. Dammon
said the meeting was to be a private meeting
and they wanted no one to come unless thay
believed as he did in the Advent doctrine. I
did go considerably - if the meetings were
religious ones I thought I had a right to go
I to them - 1 went to satisfy myself what woj
done. I h id no hostile feeling against them
I think they held the first meeting a fortnight.
Daminott said he wanted no one to attend
their meetings unless they believed in the
ndrerrt doetrine.
Win. C. Crosby, E*|. sworn. I was at
the meeting luM Saturday night, from about
7 o'clock to 9. There wm a woman on the
floor who lay on her back with a pillow un-
der her head ; she would occasionally arouse
up At tell a vision which she said was reveal-
ed to her. They would at times all be talk-
ing at once, halloing at the top of tlieir voic-
es ; sonic uf them said there was loo much
sin there. After the cessation of the noise,
Dammon got up and was more coherent - he
complained of those that came there who did
not believe in the advent doctrine. At one
time Dammon said there was hogs there not
belonging to the band, and pointed at me, and
said, I mean you, Sir. Subsetpiently he ad-
dressed mc again - said, you can't drive us
out of town ; he stared me in the face and
said, I am an honest man, or I could not look
vou in the face, and you have hell's brass or
yon could not look mc in the face. Dammon
said if he was owner of the house lie would
compel all unbelievers to leave it — they were
setting and laying on tho floor promiscuously
and were exceedingly noisy. Cross ex-
amined. Did he not say if there was any
there who did not come for instruction he did
not wont them there. Ans. That is not
what he said - he pointed to me and said he
meant you— I never was more pointedly ad-
dressed m my life- we stood 5 or 6 feet a-
part,moelof the men were on the floor— most
of the women in chain —Do not know how
long Dammon hoe been in town.
Thomas Proctor sworn. Saw the prisoner
last Saturday - vvos present when he waa
taken ; know nothing of the meetinga myself.
Moses Cerrish, sworo. 1 hare never at-
tended any of their meetinga, when the pris-
oner was present.
LomaLambert, swora. They were sing
ing when 1 arrived - after singing they sat
down on tho floor — Dammon said o sister hod
a vision to relate - a woman on the floor then
related her vision. Dammon said all other
denaminatiuni ware wicked - they were liars,
wlioroinastcra, murderers, 5tc— he also run
upon all suea «a ware not believers with him.
lie ordered us off - we did not go. The wo-
man that lay on the floor relating visions, was
called by elder Dammon aud others, imita-
tion of Christ. Dammon called us hogs and
devils, and slid if he was the owner of the
house he would drive us off - the one that
they colled imitation of Christ, told Mrs.
Woodbury ond ottera, that they must forsake
all their friends or go Ut hell. Imitation of
Christ, nx they ealled her, would lay on the
floor a while, then riao up and call upon some
nun .ml Ma v ahe had a vision to relate to them,
which she would relate ; there waa one girl
that they said must be baptised that night or
she must go to hell ; she wept bitterly and
wo-ntcd to see her mother first , they told her
she must leave her mother or go to hell - one
voice aaid, lot her go to belt She finally
concluded to be baptised. Imitation of Christ
vision to a cousin of mine, that she
tinued on the floor until I left, whitoh was be-
tween the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock at night.
Cross examined. Answer. The vision-
iat lay down on the floor I should -think about
7 o'clock -ahe lay there from that time until
I left. Dammon and others called her Imi-
tation of Christ. Part of the time Dammon
waa down on the floor on hia back-cant
say certainly who first said she waa Inh
tation of Christ, but can say Dammon repeat-
edly said so— Dammon said Christ revealed

regularity, nor any thing that resembled any
otlier meeting 1 ever attended — Dammon
seemed to have the lead and the most art I
don't say Dammon shouted the loudest ; I
think some others stronger, in the lungs than
he.
Deo. James Ro we, sworn. I was at Ay- |
ec'sr a short time last Saturday evening— 'El-
der Dummon found fault with us for eeming
to his meeting— he spoke of other denomin-
ations as Esq. Crosby has just testified — said
the church members were the worst people in
the world. I have been young, and new am
old, and of all the places I ever wag in, I
never saw such a confusion, not even in n
drunken frolic. Dammon stood up on the
floor and said, Ism going to stand here —
and w h ile I stand here, they can't hurt you,
neither men nor devils can't hurt you Cross
examined. He said all churches, made no dis-
tinction. I put no meaning to what he said,
I only state what he did say. I have been
acquainted with the prisoner 20 or 30 years ;
his character was good until recently.

ing week before last, — I heard Dammon say
« Cod's a coming ! Cod's a coming 2* Mr.
Bdrrbar was telling of going into the woods
to labor — Dammon said he ought not to go.
Boobar said he had a family to support and
was poor. Dammon told him lie must live
on them that had property, and if Cod did
not come then we must all go to work togeth-
er.
Joseph Monlton, sworn. When I went
to arrest prisoner, they shut the door against
me- Finding I could not gain access to him
without, I burst open the door. I went to
the prisoner and took iiim by the hand aud
told hiin my business. A number of women
jumped on to him - he clung to them, and
they to him. So great was the rcsfsuincc,

be h Because he preachea similar. Did he
uae to preach that the end of the world waa

night ? Ana. No. The reason we sit on
the floor Is to Convene more people— some-
times w« take eome la our laps,- but oil male

money uselessly. I am i, believer. Some-
times we sit an the floor for formality. Our

similar to ths others.] t never beard br.

John Bartlett, of Garland, sworn. 1 have
heard the respondent say that one of their
band was aa near to him as another — he
considered them alt alike. It ia the general
opinion In our town that the prisoner is a

en cars of. I have been acquainted with El-
der Dammon seven yeara — ihs chn racier was
always good until within about 6 weeks,
Loian Lambert re-examined He nffirmed

Thomas Proctor reexamined. Prisoner
ststsd to ms that Miss Baker had an cxeer-
eise in the bed room, and he went in snd help-
ed her out. Cress examined- I have eeid I
wished they were broken up, and wished
somebody would go and do It. I have said
eldur Had ought to be- tarred and feathered
if he was such a character as I beard he
was. t was ai one meeting but as to divine
worship there was none. They told us they
allowed none there but believers.
A. S. Bartlett, Esq. sworn. Yesterday I
saw Mr Joel Doore and Loton Lambert con-
versing together. I went to them — I heard \
Doore say to him, it was Cider White that |. con) , Il i
} was in tho bed room with Miss Baker- Lam- j f ormat
fbertsaid that was what 1 wanted to know. I
• so understood, and think. 1 am not mistaken.
[ t also heard Doore say tbero was a noise in
I tho bed room.
Elder- fflavel Bartlett, sworn. I think
' Prisoner does not belong to tho Free Will
Baptist Church. He is not in fellowship with
them.
Joseph Knights of Garland, sworn, ^at-
tended one of Dammon's meetings in Car-
land, he behaved well until meeting was over.
After meeting was over 1 saw him hugging
and kissing a girl . tt is ihe common report
in Garland, that he is a disturber of the peace.
Plyn Clark, sworn. I attended their meet-
ing a week ago laat Wednesday or ThUTfs-
day night. [Tins witness gave a gsnsrst char-
octcr ol the meeting as described by others.}
I heard one halto out't Uc\ better' - others

ed the meetings a number of times— I hsvo
seen prisoner on the floor with a woman be-
tween his legs— 1 have seen them in groups

women would go and kiss his feet. One girl
ma do a smack, but did not bit his foot with
her lips. HaMsnid he that is ashamed of me

my father and tho holy angels.' She then
gave his feet a number of kisses.

he dwolt upon the law ; after which
Morison summoned up the testimony and
closed with a few brief and appropuute re-
marks.
Elder Dammon again rose for further de-
fence. Court indulged him to speak. He
read Pib'ih Psalm, and the iiOth Psalm. He
argued that the day of grace bad gone by,
that the believers were reduced ; but that
there waa too many yet, and that the end ol
the wottd would come within a week.
The Court after consultation sentenced
the prisoner to the House of Correction for
the space of Ten Days, . From this judgment
Riesuonduti appealed.

While I wh» down iii Egypt's land,
I lienrd my Snvioor w<ia hi ltiiu.1}
The midnight rry was sounding,
Ami I wanted to ue tree.
So I left my former brethren*
Tu sound the jubilee.
They said that I had batter stay
And go with thorn in their old way;
But they ecoffat my Lord's* coining—
With theiii I could not ugree,
And 1 left their painted synagogue
To sound tbe jubilee.
Then soon 1 juiaed the Advoat Band,
Wliojiui camo out from l^cypi's land*,
They were on the road to Cauuun,
A blest brnyiug company,
¦Ynri Trirhtnem 1 nfll proclaiming
i'lidt tins year's the jubilee*
They onll us now s noisy crew,
And suy they hope we it soon fall ibro';
But* we now are growing stronger,
(loth in love mid unity,
Since wa left old mystic Babylon
We're now united iu one band,
Believing Christ is just at hand
To reward his fsiilifol children
Wbo are aind tbeir Lord to see;
Bless the Lord oursnnls are hnppy
While we sound ths jubilee.
Though opposition wnxes strong,
Yet still the bsttte won't be long;
Our blessed Lord is corning,
"His glory we sbsllsee;"
Keep up good eoursge brethren—
Thin year's the jubilee
If Satan comes to tempt your mind,
Then meet hun with these blessed lines,
Snyiug, "Get behind mt, Satan,"
I have uuugbt to do with thee;
rtiuve got my soul converted,
Aud l'tl sound the juUlee.
Tho bnttle is not to thb strong,
The weak may sing the conqueror's song;
I've been through the fiery furnace.
And no harm was dune to me,
I cnuie out with stronger evidence
Tots year's tbe jubilee.
A little* longer here below,
And home to glory we will go;
1 believe it! I believe it!
Huileiujjh, I inn free
From all eecisriansprejudiee—
This year's the jubilee.
We'll soon remove to that blast ehere,
And shout nnd sing forever more,
Where the wicked cannot enter
To disturb our huvmony ;

Николай:
Можно бы и не поверить в существование такой газеты, НО сама Уайт описала эту ситуацию фанатизма в их городе и своё присутствие в этой секте Даммона.
И второе то, что АСД подтвердили подлинность газеты в 1988 году в своем журнале. Я ОБ ЭТОМ ПИСАЛ ВЫШЕ.
ВОТ АДРЕСОК НА ЭТОТ ЖУРНАЛ http://www.hacksplace.com/magazine.html
Третье - в своих мемуарах Е. Уайт хорошо описала, что за ней постоянно ездил пристав, и не мог застать её в очередном городе. Она с будущим мужем постоянно переезжала в разные города до тех пор, пока прибились к группе бывших миллиритов под руководством Бейтса. Её сестра расписалась за неё в повестке, а сама Елена всё назвала клеветой.
Ещё одно - Она очень хорошо описала в печатном экземпляре мемуаров о том, как она с мужем приехали к родителям Елены и застали всю семью в жутком фанатизме. Джеймс дружил малость с головой и подсказал Елене, что с этим надо заканчивать (он надеялся сделать из неё профессиональную визионершу). По этому пришлось заколотить дом в деревне (У родителей собирались единоверцы, и их отвадить так и не смогли Джеймс с Еленой) они забрали её родителей в город к сестре Еленовой (близняшке) и в городе поселились у этой второй дочери. По приезду в город, через неделю, к ним начали ломиться соседи и требовать, что бы те прекратили вой по ночам. Сестра - близняшка объясняла соседям, что это они так молятся. Через несколько дней после визита соседа, все соседи собрались и порешили позвать шерифа. Пришёл шериф и они ему тоже впарили рассказ что они так исповедуют религию. Шериф был верующий и не стал их трогать. Тогда соседские мальчишки стали разбивать им окна камнями и семья Хармонов пожаловалась шерифу. Тот пришёл на улицу, собрал соседей и запретил им притеснять верующую семью.
Всё это Елена описала сама в своих произведениях. Когда она писала, к этому времени их уже перевоспитали, и они сами стали бороться с различными "святыми хохотами" и лобызаниями с воплями и завываниями. Для того, чтоб в своей (уже организованной) секте бороться с этим, она описала свои опыты борьбы с фанатизмом. В принципе, её всегда устраивало такое поведение верующих. Она в этом видела их крайнюю приверженность. Хвалила за "святой хохот" и подобное поведение.
НО НАСТАЛИ ВРЕМЕНА, КОГДА ВЛАСТИ ОБРАТИЛИ ВНИМАНИЕ НА СУМАСШЕСТВИЕ СВОИХ СОГРАЖДАН И СТАЛИ ПРИМЕНЯТЬ МЕРЫ. Вот тут и осенило нашего "старейшину" Дж Уайта, что видения пророчицы должны выглядеть более менее против всяких душераздираний.
Она стала писать о том, что имела свой личный опыт в подобном поведении.
В ЭТОМ И ПРОСЧИТАЛИСЬ. ЭТО БЫЛ ПЕРИОД 1845-1846 г.г. Выходит, что Бог избрал Уайту во пророки перед самым её фанатизмом. (И ЭТО ТОЖЕ ЕСТЬ У ЕЛЕНЫ).
Она в одном своем "свидетельстве для церкви" описала, что Христос сильно её ругал (она объяснила, что Иисус ругал её за то, что она не передаёт обличения тем людям, о которых были видения.) и потом простил за ЧТО-ТО (у меня создалось впечатление, что Дж Уайт и был всегда этим вдохновителем её видений, он и ругал, и прощал).
Однажды она приехала в город и там в одной из сект повстречалась с парнем, который присутствовал на собраниях Даммона. Он послушал её рассказы о видениях и стал открыто смеяться (он же знает из какого она дикого общества) она это описывала говоря, что клеветал он на неё потому, что не понравилось её обличение к нему. ДА, ОНА ТОГДА ЕЩЁ СЛИШКОМ МОЛОДОЙ БЫЛА, ЧТОБ ЗНАТЬ В ЧЁМ ОБЛИЧАТЬ, А В ЧЁМ НЕТ.
Да и сама же и писала о том, что её матушка потребовала от неё вернуться из города в их деревню, потому, что дошло до их соседей о её похождениях в городе.
А НАМ (ПОТОМКАМ), САМА И РАСТРЕЗВОНИЛА В СВОИХ ЖЕ ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЯХ.
Все эти её рассказы об эволюции её вероисповедания есть за-сканированы, из этой же национальной библиотеки. Когда выпускали брошюры, то обязаны были сдавать по одному экземпляру в библиотеку. (мне так объяснили). Там сохранились все печатные выпуски литературы АСД (не переделанные, как дошли до наших дней, а в первом виде).
Со временем они постарались переделать все ранние произведения (подчищали) но первые печатные экземпляры всплыли совсем недавно и появились в иннете.
В Америке, адвентисты давно выбросили Уайту из головы. Но когда дошло дело до Евро-Азиатского дивизиона, то возникла проблема. Оказалось, что русскому адвентисту не важно что она писала (он всё равно не читает ни её произведения, ни Библию. Ему достаточно того, что пастух расскажет).
Так вот проблема возникла в том, что загадочная русская душа желает иметь Уайту как пророка Господня. И руководство поняло, что забери веру русского адвентиста в пророка Елену, и они останутся без Бога. Они потеряют веру в Самого Бога потому, что пришли к Нему на условии Его пророчицы Уайты.
Они и слушать не станут, что Уайту использовали организаторы секты, как двигателя рекламы. Организаторы раскрутили её, как пророка, только для того, чтоб она раскрутила их секту, как "народ Божий". Ляпов в её произведениях очень много. Она сама себя выдаёт, и все свои эгоистические амбиции.
НО ЧИТАТЕЛЬ НЕ ОБРАЩАЕТ НА ЭТО ВНИМАНИЕ, потому, что читают только руководители, А ОНИ - ЗАИНТЕРЕСОВАННЫЙ НАРОД.
Посты сразу все фотокопии не помещают. Мне пришлось разделить на три поста. На том же ресурсе есть и другие газеты, которые рассказывают об этой секте Даммона и о суде над ним. Правда там не упоминается "ПОДОБИЕ ХРИСТА" Так называли сектанты саму Е. Уайту (в то время под девичьей фамилией ХАРМОН).
Фотокопии получились непонятными потому, что начало статьи на нечётной стороне газеты, а продолжение на обратной стороне. Номера фотографий - 6,7,8,9 и 10, это уже обратная сторона газеты. Первая фотка, это общий ракурс. Когда сканировали, то лишнее прикрыли ватманом, чтоб не мешалось, а часть текста из соседних колонок потом оцифровались в подобие текста.
КТО ЗНАЕТ АНГЛИЙСКИЙ, ТОТ РАЗБЕРЁТСЯ. А кто не знает, тот пусть учится, или как я пользуется гугилом.
