http://books.google.com/books?id=LZHVpkELZEkC&printsec=frontcover I can't even imagine giving my neighbor a book with a title like this! On second thought, it might be fun to have one on hand to share with Mormon missionaries. Gilbert Jorgensen | ||

I had this very book. Thought it would be interesting, after reading some of it though, I got the impression that the lights were supposed to be out, the black drapes drawn, and don't do it too often, lest your vital forces be depleted. Funny how when with a partner your zinc levels don't drop, but all by yourself it does. Insanity, baldness, sickness, amongst other maladies result from losing all that zinc... I quietly threw that book out last month... Jason (Message edited by zjason on July 31, 2007) | ||

I am neither sick nor bald so I must be geting a lot of zinc, my wife does question my sanity though, the next time she questions my sanity I will bring up your point Zjason.  I am thankful for friends like you who would bother to keep me "hip" to the intricacy's of life and zinc. May the vital force be with you friend. River | ||

I must have engage in marrital excess since my hair has been falling out the past 10 years and I've been married for 10 years. And I thought it was linked to genetics! Off to eat some zinc tabs to try and save the hair I have left! | ||

I'm just amazed the White Estate is so desparate for a continuing cash flow that they would even come out with a book like this. What other denomination would even think of publishing a book with a title like this? I wonder how many Seventh-day Adventists they feel, Section 3, A Mutilated Spouse, will apply to? This is just some really, really strange material to be coming out from the "Remnant Church" for general public consumption. It reads like a third-rate novel, or sleezy soap opera. I could imagine these being titles for a new TV series. I think I would prefer reading "The Secret of the Wooden Lady" or the "Harding Twins Adventures". Section 3, A Mutilated Spouse 6. Counsels to Walter and Laura 54 7. Admonition to Walter's Second Mother-in-law 67 8. Failure of Walter's Second Marriage 74 A footnote states, "When he was still a young man Walter C carried out the action that he felt was suggested in Matthew 19:12, and made himself a eunuch. According to Walter, Laura married him with full knowledge of his condition. However, she eventually divorced him and married someone else. After her remarriage, Walter also married again. The letters in this section reveal Ellen White's earnest endeavor to protect the sanctity of the marriage commitment even in the face of extremely difficult circumstances." Every Seventh-day Adventist family needs to make sure and follow the admonition of the "Pen of Inspiration",

Quote: Let them be kept where they can be read by many, and let them be worn out in being read by all the neighbors." I agree with that i think all my neighbors should have a good belly laugh now and then! Don't deprive your neighbors of hilarity, share your red comics! River | ||

Well, all I can say is, I'm glad they've published this. It reconfirms to those who didn't know that Ellen has contributed to the undercurrent of sexual fascination and indiscretion that keeps showing up in SDA populations. As odd as it is (and as embarrassing, no doubt, to many) it tells the truth about her beliefs and about the "shape" of her foundational contribution to the church. Colleen | ||

River, You made me hurt from laughing so hard!!! I've thought from time to time to share some of the hysterically funny things found in EGW's writing with friends; I just think I would be too embarrased showing them some of this stuff. | ||

It may be ideal for the Adventist Book Centers to sell zinc tablets for those not yet in compliance with Ellen White's sexual counsel.  Dennis Fischer | ||

Olga, you could always show them quotes from Ellen White's book, "Counsels on Diet and Foods" instead. That would be less embarrassing I think. A quote like where she said that tea and coffee are narcotics or where she said that spices destroy the delicate lining of the stomach. I think she even said that butter is a stimulant Dianne | ||

coffee, spices, and butter....my favorite vices. I was never a good Adventist (guess these things were my downfall). |
