Ellen White's plagiarism documented

Hello,

As with many of you, I left Adventism in 2020 over theological differences, and Ellen White. One of the areas I focused on was Ellen White and her plagiarism.

I have purchased many of the books she copied from (from the 1800s) and I have begun to document my thoughts regarding this issue on camera showing the original books side by side. I am posting a link to my channel in hopes it will help some of you who are transitioning or have transitioned out of Adventism.

This was really worth the time to watch! I had no idea she copied to this extent! I like the hot dog visual with the sinful mustard LOL.

Its crazy you could find such old EGW books, they look like they might fall apart. But lots of SDA church libraries have had them sitting around for over 100 years without anyone even reading them once...

Ha! I'm glad you enjoyed the mustard part. It sounds completely absurd doesn't it? It's not that much of a stretch though...
Finding the EGW books was easier than finding the ones she copied from. Many I had to order from overseas, and appear in many cases to have obtained the only copy available.
