30. That Ellen G. White called Jesus "Michael the Archangel" (Desire of Ages pp. 99, 379; Spiritual Gifts Vol. 1, p. 158; Prophets & Kings p. 572)
1) There's no reference to Michael the archangel in DA on page 379.
2) There's no equation between Christ & Michael in Spiritual Gifts Vol. 1, p. 158 or Prophets & Kings p. 572.
31. "Not to mention the Mason Illuminati influence on EGW toilet paper teachings!!"
32. But from her own mouth, she was a racist.

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.

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 Numbersnot there either.)
39. That Ellen G. White copied other people's ideas. Cant prove that words were copied and yet they can prove that ideas were?!?

41. One critic accused her of necromancy (communicating with the dead) because she said that she had talked with Enoch. I pointed out to him that according to Scripture Enoch never died.
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!).
