Did Someone Change EGW's Writings?
Recently I have been hearing, promoted also by a dear friend of mine, a theory which has concerned me a great deal. It is the idea that, during the lifetime of the prophet, people were making changes in the writings of Ellen G. White. It is said that others, including her son, Willie, were making significant changes in the wording of her later books. For this reason they claim that the later books are not to be trusted.
Webmaster note: I would encourage any reader to first read this article above before searching for changes in the Spirit of Prophecy writings.
