The report that Mrs. White predicted the apostasy of entire Seventh-day Adventist churches and conferences
is without support. See the statement concerning "The Shaking" in
Early Writings, pages 269-273; and Testimonies for the Church,
vol. 8, p. 41, for these words: "Company after company from the Lord's
army joined the foe and tribe after tribe from the ranks of the enemy united
with the commandment-keeping people of God."
Thought for the Day
Every impure thought defiles the soul, impairs the moral sense, and tends to obliterate the impressions of the Holy Spirit. It dims the spiritual vision, so that men cannot behold God. The Lord may and does forgive the repenting sinner; but though forgiven, the soul is marred. Desire of Ages, p. 302
