FOR PROGRESSIVE ONLY NOT tsda: SO hONOR THAT MEANS YOU CAN'T POST HERE OR ANYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME MINDSET.

After reading the "trial of Isereal Damon" I have some question about EGW. Is it possible she was pregnant at the time of her marriage to James white. Ellen was in a back bedroom and there were men there. there were also rumors about her and james.
does anyone know the time line from

Isereal damon trial
wedding of egw
birth of first child

This is all specualtion, I want to see if this theory checks out? can anyone else help with this?

P.s. this is for progressive only.

I am not progressive but since I just posted in answer to an identical thread on another board, here goes:

On a trip to Orrington, Maine, Ellen met a young Adventist preacher, James White, then 23 years of age. As their labors occasionally brought the two together, there sprang up an affection that led to their being united in marriage late in August, 1846.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]During the first few weeks following their marriage, James and Ellen gave earnest study to a 46-page tract published by Joseph Bates, in New Bedford, Massachusetts. The tract, entitled Seventh-day Sabbath, set forth the Biblical evidence for the sacredness of the seventh day. Convinced that the views set forth were scriptural, they began to keep Saturday as the Sabbath. Some six months later, on April 3, 1847, Ellen White was shown in vision the law of God in the heavenly sanctuary, with a halo of light around the fourth commandment. This view brought a clearer understanding of the importance of the Sabbath doctrine, and confirmed the confidence of the Adventists in it. (Early Writings, pp. 32-35.) The early days of James and Ellen White's married life were filled with poverty and sometimes distress. Workers in the Advent movement had no one but themselves to depend upon for financial support, so James White divided his time between preaching and earning a living in the forest, on the railroad, or in the hayfield. A son, Henry, was born to the Whites on August 26, 1847. His presence brought joy and comfort to the young mother, but Ellen White soon found she must leave her child with trusted friends and continue her work in traveling and bearing the messages God had entrusted to her. The next few years she wrote extensively, traveled widely to visit the “scattered flock,” and attended conferences.

Even if she had, it wouldn't concern me or change my view of her. If she repeatedly had affairs, it would.
