318the TRUTH, the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTHCan we now apply the quote that Linda referenced in her letter to OGR? Canwe say that their advertisement “appeals to the imagination, excites theemotions, and is new and startling? Is that why the “converts thus gained”through OGR “have little desire to listen to Bible truth, little interest in thetestimony of prophets and apostles” such as Ernie? Since a local Seventh-dayAdventist conference endorsed OGR, did that make many Adventists excited?Does this make it right? As you continue reading, we pray that you will come tothe right conclusion.Does OGR have their chronology wrong? Where is their focus on repentanceand the early or former rain first?Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, pp. 506-507Unless the early showers have done their work, the latter rain can bringno seed to perfection.If we do not place ourselves in an attitude to receive both the formerand the latter rain, we shall lose our souls, and the responsibility will lie atour own door.Does not the following quote prove that the loud cry and latter rain come afterthe Sunday law, not before?Evangelism, pp. 234-235None are condemned until they have had the light and have seen theobligation of the fourth commandment.

It may be falling on hearts all around us, but weshall not discern or receive it.Is OGR the false latter rain before the true?Early Writings, p. 260Satan deceives some with Spiritualism. He also comes as an angel oflight and spreads his influence over the land by means of falsereformations.
