Ellen White and Vegetarianism

Chapter 9—Conclusion

Ellen White had to face accusations against her integrity in her own lifetime. Similar charges against her today are neither new nor startling, when one examines the facts. Shortly after the turn of the century she was accused of hypocrisy (if not duplicity) in publicly advocating vegetarianism to her fellow church members while she continued (allegedly) secretly to follow a flesh diet. Such charges are, as we have demonstrated, unjustified and without foundation. EWV 27.4

To gain a proper understanding of the charges leveled against Ellen White’s integrity, one must view them from the broader perspective of Satan’s latter day objectives and methodology as revealed to Ellen White in 1890. She declared that Satan’s “very last deception” would be to destroy her credibility, and create a “satanic” hatred against her writings. 1 EWV 28.1

The case against Ellen White’s integrity, as far as research has revealed to date, is still as unfounded and unproven as it was during the lifetime of the prophet. EWV 28.2
