modern day interpretation of EGW

[OntheDL]

Well then how can you all accuse Pythons of being a Jesuit?

He never shied away from controversial opinions!

He trots that ape picture out in about every thread!

The ape picture? That's very Christian of you by making fun of EGW's appearance. You do know she had that unfortunate accident at early age, right? You have any conscience left?

DL, you apparently don't read his posts. The ape picture is not of Ellen White. It is a book about the views at the time. Uriah Smith referenced similar views.

But good try


Here is an example of one of Python's posts:

I have no idea what you are talking about. I rarely ever read what Python writes. Actually from the little I read, he seems to lack cohesion in the post. But I have not paid enough attention to what he writes.

too bad

No I don't read his posts. They never interested me.

If you didn't mean that was EGW (the ape picture) then I apologize and take that back.

Alright.

And no I did not mean it to refer to Ellen White.

People can't choose how they look anyway.

ellen white and the ape picture, she must have left an impression on OnTheDL

Well, I know that he promoted his own books a lot, and I know people who took classes from him and said that he required his students to buy his books. That's not unusual for professors who have written books on the subjects that they teach, though. That doesn't mean that he didn't really believe what he wrote. I found his books on the Sabbath quite helpful even though I didn't agree with many of his conclusions.

You should never condemn the dead, after all they are not able to defend themselves!!!

I do not condemn the dead...

and first of all I didnt even though he was dead...

and like I said his apparent greediness wasnt that far fetched... I told a professor of newbold college (UK) about it and he told me about Sam not wanting to go to eastern europe because he thought he couldnt sell enough books...

Thats what I know about Sam, so I am not condemning him in any way, I was just amazed with his reasoning, or wouldnt you be curious if somebody wouldnt wanna go evangelize because there was no profit to be made?

OK, he is dead now... but he has left an impression...

I don't believe that I was condemning anyone. As I said, Bacchiocchi's books were actually quite helpful to me in my studies even though I didn't agree with many of his conclusions.
