334the TRUTH, the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTHit. While this discrepancy was of concern, I did not consider it to be a‘deal breaker.’ Perhaps his position (sitting at the table) varied from hers(possibly standing at the end?) so that might explain the difference . . .?”FactErnie could not see the full length of the table because he was reclining at thetable. Ellen White did not state that she was sitting at the table.David Starkey says:“One of her comments was about not seeing the end of the table inheaven. I asked Ernie about this when it was a new dream. He told methat he couldn't see the end because of his angle with others in the way asthey were all reclining. He could, however, see the city within the citywhen he was flying which was 700+ miles away so I would say that hisvision in heaven is consistent with Ellen White's experience.”David Starkey maintained the previous 4 His People Ministry website and isreferred to by Laura Lee in her letter to David Gates (see Appendix M).ConclusionIf Laura Lee didn’t think this issue was significant and fully realized that Erniemay not have been able to see to the end of the table because of where he sat,why did she mention it? Was it to cast doubt on Ernie’s dreams?Changing the dreamsLaura Lee Jones says: (see Appendix M)“This was more serious. It was an interpretation of the 144,000 thatclearly contradicted what little Spirit of Prophecy had to say aboutthem. The dream is on his website, entitled ‘A View of Heaven and aMessage for His People.’ However, the version that is now on there is notthe same one I read a year ago – there has been quite a bit of editing done.I wanted to know more about his last conversation with ‘Jesus’ in thethird dream and so I called and spoke to him.”FactThe matter regarding Ernie’s initial misunderstanding of the 144,000 is coveredlater in this chapter. His dream does not contain an interpretation of the144,000. It simply makes a reference to the “perfect square.” It certainly doesnot contain any contradictions to what Ellen White wrote concerning thesubject.As far as editing of the dreams, at the beginning of the ministry, a few dreamswere modified to make them more readable, but the essence of the dreams didnot change. The only exception was the “View of Heaven” dream where detailswere added in the section on music, because Ernie did not remember it all rightaway. Many times the Lord repeats the details to help him remember. Noticethe following example of how Ellen White had the same experience.Selected Messages, Book 3, p. 442WHILE MOTHER WAS WRITING THIS BOOK, MANY OF THESCENES WERE PRESENTED TO HER OVER AND OVER AGAININ VISIONS OF THE NIGHT.
