Statements Mistakenly Attributed to Ellen G. White^®

Updated from Comprehensive Index to the Writings of Ellen G. White, vol. 3, pp. 3189-3192

The statements of well-known persons are often distorted, and frequently statements made by others are attributed to them. Almost from the beginning of the work of Ellen G. White, there have been statements incorrectly attributed to her, or materials deliberately or inadvertently garbled. One such case is described in Testimonies to Ministers, page 57. We can recognize as genuine only such Ellen G. White materials as can be traced to published or unpublished sources known to be authentic.

Listed here are items concerning which inquiries most frequently reach the Ellen G. White Estate. They are grouped according to the five most common types.

• Testimonies Dependent Entirely Upon Memory
• An Association of Ideas
• Excerpts Taken Out of Their Setting
• Writings Falsely Attributed
• Pure Fiction
