There’s no way he could have gone through SDA training to be a minister and not know about EG White’s standing among SDA. It’s just that simple.

Knowing something about White’s standing among the SDA, and knowing all the details that led to him leaving the SDA, including her works being compared as being equal to scripture, is certainly two very different things.
It’s just simple enough to conclude that you’re desperate to make out of something the best you can.
