Helpful video for the people

At 1 hour 20 mins, I said Des was away doing three meetings a week. I mean a month. They had a committee to screen his calls because he was away too much and agreed he could do two meetings month within N. Cal and Hawaii and one out of state, plus two weeks of prayer a year. This on top of 16 hours teaching a week. A huge program.

What’s the magazine name where the Dallas Statement is written up? Thank you

[@drdesmondford7022]

@@dustindalia3380 You would have to look in adventistarchives.org at Review and Herald and after April 1980. Vol. 158, No. 31 gives a summary only of the statement. Remember, then there were 27 Fundamentals and later, another was added, It think on creation, making it 28.

The two things that Russell Woolley said to me at the end of 1968 were: 1. to do a B.A. Ed. instead of certificate teaching. That led me to my major in French and German only offered for two years (1969-1970). 2. Russell said Dr Ford is going to ask you to marry. him when his wife dies, and I said don't be ridiculous. I was a nobody. But when I went back to college in 1969 and went to talk to Des, he did say to me at the beginning of the year that he had talked to Gwen and when she died he would like to get to know me better. A big shock despite being warned. So I am correcting the time and the events here.

My visit with Bob Brinsmead that I mentioned about 1 hour 36 mins. 55.secs in was in 2019, not back in the days of Glacier View. Also, I mentioned that I didn't hear the rumours because I was in Australia. I meant USA.

2:30 in, I gave the title of Duncan Eva's sermon as Consolation but I believe it was Compassion.

[@gillianford5928]

About 2 hours 30 secs in, I mentioned Cottrell's document and here I mean his writing in the Spectrum Oct 1980 issue.

[@gillianford5928]

I am adding some errata here. I made a few mistakes. Starts out OK in my brain and ends up slightly wrong from time to time. I was working from slides on the computer and I had several sets going at once.

2. 17. 29 Apparently, according to Wes Tolhurst, his father DID read the Glacier View Ms. We had been told he went around America taking photos of birds.

[@gillianford5928]

2 hours 06 mins 08 secs. Larry Geraty's article is in Spectrum June 1980.

[@gillianford5928]

About 1 hour 40 mins in I say we left the Australasian Division in 1978, but it was July 1977.

[@gillianford5928]

About 1 hour 21 mins in, I mention Grethe Hartelius had a house in Saint Helena. Then I said an apartment. It was a house. Des photocopies many chapters of commentaries on Revelation, and put the copies in different rooms representing a particular chapter.

[@gillianford5928]

About 1 hour 30 mins I beginning talking about John Brinsmead visiting Keith Parmenter. I should clarify that Claude Judd's interview reveals that John went to see him and that Claude said he took John to see Keith Parmenter. Trevor did interview John, but I asked him about what John said after I did this video. And Trevor said he didn't raise the issue of Keith Parmenter with John Brinsmead. Also, having talked to Paul via Elenne, he actually enjoyed. his time up at the Brinsmead's not the farm-most of the time.

[@gillianford5928]

About 1 min. 22 secs in, I mention the BRI, which was the Biblical Research Institute now the BRC (Biblical Research Committee).

[@gillianford5928]

About 2:44 I mention tapes of the Division meeting where Des was fired. I misunderstood the nature of the tape; it was rather meetings which Pastor Parmenter and Athal Tolhurst took for workers in Australia shortly after Glacier View.

[@gillianford5928]

About 1 hour 41 mins 40 secs. in, I mentioned the tRDB told me that Bob went down to see Keith Parmenter, and of course I meant John.

[@gillianford5928]

I said at the beginning of 1968 Gwen had been told she didn't have long to live. That was the beginning of 1969. 25 mins. 18 secs in. I said Des talked to me at the beginning of 1968, but it was 1969 (second time I said this). It was 1969.

[@gillianford5928]

About 1 hour 51 secs in, I mention about historicism the problem with applying it to a specific time, and I say that is limited, it becomes passé. However, I should have added, there is a point where it will be fulfilled at the end of history.

[@gillianford5928]

At 30:56 in, I said I wrote Des's thesis in Hebrew and Greek. I meant I wrote in the Hebrew and Greek by hand.

[@gillianford5928]

Around 2 hours 40 mins in, I mention about Doug Moorhead in Florida having the manuscript before Glacier View. I've thought about it, I think his secretaries were helping us proof the original ms. before the church published it for the GV meetings. Doug did publish it but not until 1 year or two after Glacier View, and Des checked with the church about his right to publish it ahead of time. So what I say here is not quite right. It wasn't a leaking of the document.

We married 22 November 1970
