Did Sis White consider disassociating herself with the apostatizing church government called the General Conference of SDA?
“Reforms must be made, for spiritual weakness and blindness were upon the people who had been blessed with great light and precious opportunities and privileges. As reformers they had come out of the denominational churches, but now they act a part similar to that which the churches acted. We hoped that there would not be the necessity for another coming out.”
{MS: 1216, pp.5-6. (Emphasis supplied)}
What was Ellen White's last testimony to the SDA Church?
“I am charged to tell our people that they do not realize that the devil has device after device, and he carries them out in ways that they do not expect. Satan’s agencies will invent ways to make sinners out of saints. I tell you now, that when I am laid to rest, great changes will take place. I do not know when I shall be taken; and I desire to warn all against the devices of the devil. I want the people to know that I warned them fully before my death.” {Manuscript 1,
February 24, 1915
If alive today, Ellen White would be actively giving the “come out of her, My people” call to His faithful within the SDA Church. But she did not separate while still alive for the following reasons:
Even though the SDA Church was declared a harlot devoid of the divine
presence in 1903 by the Instructor, the church was not yet fallen, for if she
repented of her sins, Yahuwah would again bless her with His divine
presence. This is why Ellen White up to her death did not separate from the
SDA Church. It was still under probation. Furthermore, Satan made sure
that the leadership would not rock the boat of Adventism while Ellen White
was living, and not until the last faithful pioneer had passed away. However,
after the passing away of Ellen White in 1915, and with the passing away of
the last pioneer, John Norton Loughborough, in 1924, the leaders of the SDA Church began to take calculated, gradual steps to convert the denomination into a mainstream church.
1926: One of the first steps that the SDA church took was to
adopt working policy # 75 [in 2006, it was referred to as: #
110] in which the leadership of the church voted to recognize the
Jesuits “as a part of the divine plan for evangelization of the
world.” {Seventh-day Adventist Encyclopedia, Second Revised
Edition, 1995, Art. “Ecumenism”}

By this single traitorous act, the church
closed its probation, and has indeed become fallen and beyond
reform. Subsequent acts and actions of the SDA Church confirmed beyond a shadow of doubt the fallen condition into which the church plummeted after 1926, a far cry from the repentance which should have taken place:
1931: Adoption of the Roman Catholic Trinity doctrine.
1957: The SDA Church declared oneness with the fallen Protestants denominations.
“We are one with our fellow Christian denominational groups in the great fundamentals of the faith once delivered to the saints.” {Questions on Doctrine (Seventh-day Adventist book), p. 32.} This book came right after the end of the discussion of 1955 and 1956 with the Protestants Barnhouse and Walter. In this book, the Church changed her position on Christ’s nature to that of Adam’s nature before the fall, and changed her teaching on the Atonement being ompleted at the Cross, instead of actually starting at the Cross. These compromises and changes were required by the Protestant leaders in order to categorize the Seventh-day Adventist Church as an evangelical Christian church instead of
being classified as a sect.
1974: The SDA Church officially declared to the world the Rome is no longer the Beast of Revelation.
“Although it is true that there was a period in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church when the denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic vewpoint ..that attitude on the churches part was nothing more than a manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant denominations in the early part of this century and the latter part of the last, and which has now been consigned to the historical trash heap so far as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned.” {Neal C. Wilson, past president of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference; Court Transcript of United States vs. the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission vs. the Pacific Press Publishing Association and the General Conference. Reply Brief for Defendants, p. 4, Civil Case #74-2025 CBR, presided over by Judge Charles B. Renfrew, U.S. District Court, San Francisco, California, 1974-1975.}
1977: Having surrendered to the Protestants in 1957, the SDA Church formally surrenders to Rome.
“B. B. Beach has a private audience with Pope Paul VI in the Vatican and presents him with gold medallion confirming friendship of the SDA Church with the Vatican” {RH, Aug 11, 1977.}
1995: At the General Conference Session in the Netherlands, the Vatican flag was carried through the meeting hall in a singular fashion amidst an unusually loud ovation.
1999: Pope John Paul II is welcomed in St. Louis by the SDA Pastor B.T. Rice with the following words:
“Pope, your Holiness, your historic visit to St. Louis Missouri has served as a catalyst in the creation of this program (ecumenical program) and it transforms your presence into a lasting legacy for our region. Today, we present to you this proclamation, announcing the creation of faith beyond walls, your commitment to improving faith relations has fostered an environment wherein the spirit of collective faith positively can thrive. In addition, we also present you with this banner, the emblem of Faith Beyond Walls. We hope and pray it will inspire inter-faith communities around the world to focus their efforts on improving health and the quality of life for all humanity. Again, we welcome you to our region.
