RE: Case # C-T12-2448B, court case # 8:12-cv-02448-JFM,

Plaintiff – The Ellen G. White Estate, Inc. against Brendan P Knudson and others,
Due to Copy Infringement filed Thursday, August 16, 2012.
To the Honorable Judge J. Frederick Motz,
The purpose of this letter is to bring awareness how important and sacred are the materials that are
being handled in the case above and the history that goes along with it.
My name is Tania Beaman and I am under conviction by God that I must share this information with you.
So it is with the most respect and solemnity I approach you regarding the case above. The writings of
Ellen G White which Brendan P Knudson has been accused of accessing should never have been
withheld as it is not in the place of any earthly person/s to withhold messages or writings from God to
His people from His people. That was not the intention of the writings or the Writer and therefore those
who did this thing should be on trial instead of Brian P Knudson.
I want to bring to your memory the case of Jesus Christ when He was in a court of law. Pilate was called
upon to make decisions by the crowd of hypocrites concerning Him when his wife sent word warning
him to have nothing to do with Jesus for she had much distress in a dream because of Him. Mat 27:19.
She was trying to warn him that he was handling Holy things.
The same way your Honor, you are also handling Holy Things in your own Judging Hall. Ellen G White
was a chosen vessel, chosen by God to write and unveil things for us that live at the end of the world.
Her writings were inspired by the same Holy Spirit as were the men that wrote the Holy Bible; therefore
they are on the same level. The Spirit of Prophecy is a title that was given to the materials written by
Ellen G White throughout her life, while in ministry, from 1844 to 1915. We are told that Jesus is the
Word in John 1:1. Therefore The Bible, The Word of God and the Spirit of Prophecy point to Jesus Christ,
the Son of God. The Spirit of Prophecy does not replace the Bible but it enlarges on the subjects of the
Bible. It is an addition to unfold and give better understanding of the Word of God, The Bible.
Ellen G White, which I will relate to her as EGW, was called to the Prophetic office by God in 1844 after
the great disappointment in Millerite Advent Movement. The Great Awakening is document in our US
history books. She had around 2000 visions, of which about 200 were public. For 40 years from 1844 to
1884 she had open public visions but after that time, they were all private. Less than 50% of her
materials have been released and made public, many a time not in chronological order and they are so
scattered it is hard sometimes to figure out the whole context of the letters or of the manuscripts.

Why am I telling you this? So that you can be aware she is one of the reasons the SDA church exist
today. She is the back bone of Adventism. The backbone is what keeps the whole body together. I
want to share with you a book that was written by Gilbert M. Valentine called “The Struggle for the
Prophetic Heritage”, which deals with issues from 1930 to 1939 in the conflict for control of the EGW
publications. This book was published in Thailand and is not available in USA, which I find very
disturbing. The man that wrote it was also chastised for writing this book. Even though he writes it in
the light that what our General Conference leaders of the SDA church did, undermining every possible
way to take over the EGW Estate and her writings was a good thing, even though it was so unethical and
underhanded.

In 1915 when she died, her Written Words were to be treated in a certain way. Her Last Will points that
out, that certain way. On page 153 you will find her final will and it begins with these words “In the
name of God, Amen.” On page 145 you will find the chronology of events that took place from 1929 to
1939 in order for the leaders of the General Conference office to take control over the EGW Estate and
Her writings. By the way, EGW was given a dream in 1867, which can be found in the book Testimonies
to the Church Vol. 1 p.578-579, allowing her to know that her estate and the goods found within the
house were to be confiscated. It has fulfilled as she saw it. I also am including a book called “The
Startling Omega and its true Genealogy & An Open Letter to A.G. Daniells, An appeal to the General
Conference” by J.S. Washburn. This man J.S. Washburn is made to be a rebel in page 31 of the book
written by Valentine. Valentine writes that Washburn falsely accused one of the leaders, A G Daniells,
but that is not true. That’s why I am including this book also. He was a true watchman for the SDA faith
and EGW and her writings.
We are encouraged to reason from cause to effect and I am sure you can really relate to that phrase. I
encourage you to take a look at it. Make yourself familiar with the case that you are handling your
Honor, which you may be able to reason from cause to effect, for you are handling matters of eternity,
HOLY THINGS.
I also want to point something out your Honor that you might find interesting.
You were appointed to serve as a judge by President Ronald Reagan in 1985 and you served as a chief
judge from 1994 to 2001. Are you aware President Ronald Reagan fulfilled a major prophecy for our
time? He, together with Pope John Paul II, received the credit for bringing down Communism in Nov 9,
1989, which fulfilled the 2nd part of Dan 11:40.

On Sept 11, 2001 America came under attack by the radical Islam which began fulfilling the 3rd Woe of
Revelation chapters 9-11. Were you aware your Honor that EGW had a vision in February 1904, while
she was in New York? She was shown how some great buildings of New York were to be destroyed.
(Book -”Testimony to the Church Vol.9, starting pg 11”). In August 1903 she writes a letter pointing out
that when the great buildings of New York were to come down, then the Words of Revelation 18:1-3
were to be fulfilled. (Book “Life Sketches, pg411”) Yes, she had written about New York being under
attack. After Sept 11, 2001 the leaders of Evangelical churches came to the SDA Church leaders asking
them if their prophet EGW had written anything about it, they said no. The EGW Estate, which works
under the authority and guidance of the Conference office Leaders, had made a decision to release all
the writings of EGW by the year 2002. In 2002 they changed their mind...I wonder why?? Could Sept 11,
2001 have anything to do with it? There are many things that have not been published due to fear that
our religion will be view as a cult.

I, Tania Beaman plead with you, the Honorable Judge J. Frederick Motz, in the name of God, to consider
the matter and reason from cause to effect. The materials that the S.D.A. Church claims that have been
stolen, were taken over by the leaders of the Conference Office of the SDA church, unethically and
underhanded. It may appear legal on paper but God knows the truth.
I pray and place my hope in God that He has, is, and will continue to guide your mind in this trial.
As it was during Martin Luther’s time where he had to fight to get the Written Word out to the People,
so we, the People of the Bible shall do our efforts to bring out the Writings of Ellen Gould White, that
many may be able to understand the times that we are living for The Final Warning to the Whole World
needs to be announced in clear tones and lines that Jesus is coming soon. Probation is about to end and
only Prophecy can prove that, for Prophecy is History in Advance.
What a privilege and honor the Lord has bestowed upon you, your Honor. You have been chosen to deal
with this matter. May He give you wisdom from on high to guide your mind and give you discernment,
that His Name may be glorified above all things.
Under conviction and with much respect,
Tania Beaman

P.S. I am also including a book that shows the fulfillment of Daniel 11:40 if you might be interested in
reading it. Below are the visions and statement by EGW pointed out in the letter above.

The dream about the House and goods confiscated” Testimony to the Church Vol. 1 page 575,577
January 29, 1867, we left Wright, and rode to Greenville, Montcalm County, a distance of forty
miles… We remained in this vicinity six weeks, laboring with the churches at Greenville and Orleans,
and making Brother Maynard's hospitable home our headquarters. {1T 575.1} …. On the way we held
two meetings in Orange and had evidence that the church was profited and encouraged. We were
ourselves refreshed by the Spirit of the Lord. That night I dreamed that I was in Battle Creek looking
out from the side glass at the door and saw a company marching up to the house, two and two. They
looked stern and determined. I knew them well and turned to open the parlor door to receive them,
but thought I would look again. The scene was changed. The company now presented the appearance
of a Catholic procession. One bore in his hand a cross, another a reed. And as they approached, the
one carrying a reed made a circle around the house, saying three times: "This house is proscribed. The
goods must be confiscated. They have spoken against our holy order." Terror seized me, and I ran
through the house, out of the north door, and found myself in the midst of a company, some of whom
I knew, but I dared not speak a word to them for fear of being betrayed. I tried to seek a retired spot
where I might weep and pray without meeting eager, inquisitive eyes wherever I turned. I repeated
frequently: "If I could only understand this! If they will tell me what I have said or what I have done!"
I wept and prayed much as I saw our goods confiscated. I tried to read sympathy or pity for me in the
looks of those around me, and marked the countenances of several whom I thought would speak to
me and comfort me if they did not fear that they would be observed by others. I made one attempt to
escape from the crowd, but seeing that I was watched, I concealed my intentions. I commenced
weeping aloud, and saying: "If they would only tell me what I have done or what I have said!" My
husband, who was sleeping in a bed in the same room, heard me weeping aloud and awoke me. My
pillow was wet with tears, and a sad depression of spirits was upon me. {1T 578.1}

The Vision about New York Testimony to the Church Vol.9 “page 12-14
On one occasion, when in New York City, I was in the night season called upon to behold buildings
rising story after story toward heaven. These buildings were warranted to be fireproof, and they were
erected to glorify their owners and builders. Higher and still higher these buildings rose, and in them
the most costly material was used. Those to whom these buildings belonged were not asking
themselves: "How can we best glorify God?" The Lord was not in their thoughts. {9T 12.1}
I thought: "Oh, that those who are thus investing their means could see their course as God sees it!
They are piling up magnificent buildings, but how foolish in the sight of the Ruler of the universe is
their planning and devising. They are not studying with all the powers of heart and mind how they
may glorify God. They have lost sight of this, the first duty of man." {9T 12.2}
As these lofty buildings went up, the owners rejoiced with ambitious pride that they had money to
use in gratifying self and provoking the envy of their neighbors. Much of the money that they thus
invested had been obtained through exaction, through grinding down the poor. They forgot that in
heaven an account of every business transaction is kept; every unjust deal, every fraudulent act, is
there recorded. The time is coming when in their fraud and insolence men will reach a point that the
Lord will not permit them to pass, and they will learn that there is a limit to the forbearance of
Jehovah. {9T 12.3}
The scene that next passed before me was an alarm of fire. Men looked at the lofty and supposedly
fire-proof buildings and said: "They are perfectly safe." But these buildings were consumed as if made
of pitch. The fire engines could do nothing to stay the destruction. The firemen were unable to
operate the engines. {9T 13.1}
I am instructed that when the Lord's time comes, should no change have taken place in the hearts
of proud, ambitious human beings, men will find that the hand that had been strong to save will be
strong to destroy. No earthly power can stay the hand of God. No material can be used in the erection
of buildings that will preserve them from destruction when God's appointed time comes to send
retribution on men for their disregard of His law and for their selfish ambition. {9T 13.2}
There are not many, even among educators and statesmen, who comprehend the causes that
underlie the present state of society. Those who hold the reins of government are not able to solve the
problem of moral corruption, poverty, pauperism, and increasing crime. They are struggling in vain to
place business operations on a more secure basis. If men would give more heed to the teaching of
God's word, they would find a solution of the problems that perplex them. {9T 13.3}
The Scriptures describe the condition of the world just before Christ's second coming. Of the men
who by robbery and extortion are amassing great riches, it is written: "Ye have heaped treasure
together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of
you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the
Lord of Sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your
hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you."
James 5:3-6. But who reads the warnings given by the fast-fulfilling signs of the times? What impression
is made upon worldlings? What change is seen in their attitude? No more than was seen in the attitude
of the inhabitants of the Noachian world. Absorbed in worldly business and pleasure, the antediluvians
"knew not until the Flood came, and took them all away." Matthew 24:39. They had heaven-sent
warnings, but they refused to listen. And today the world, utterly regardless of the warning voice of
God, is hurrying on to eternal ruin.The world is stirred with the spirit of war. The prophecy of the
eleventh chapter of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Soon the scenes of trouble
spoken of in the prophecies will take place. {9T 14.2}

Fulfillment of Revelation 18:1-3 “Life Sketches” page 411-412
Under date of Aug. 3, 1903, Mrs. White further wrote regarding this sensational report: {LS 411.4}

"Now comes the word that I have declared that New York is to be swept away by a tidal wave. This I
have never said. I have said, as I looked at the great buildings going up there, story after story: 'What
terrible scenes will take place when the Lord shall arise to shake terribly the earth! Then the words of
Revelation 18:1-3 will be fulfilled.' The whole of the eighteenth chapter of Revelation is a warning of
what is coming on the earth. But I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York,
only I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and
overturning of God's power. From the light given me, I know that destruction is in the world. One
word from the Lord, one touch of His mighty power, and these massive structures will fall. Scenes will
take place the fearfulness of which we cannot imagine." {LS 412}
