Brother G sought to move with great caution. He knew that the class who opposed the visions were wrong, that they were not genuine believers in the truth; and therefore, to shake off these clogs, he proposed to receive none into the church who did not believe the third angel’s message and the visions. This kept out some few precious souls who had not fought against the visions. They dared not unite with the church, fearing that they should commit themselves upon that which they did not understand and fully believe. And there were those at hand ready to prejudice these conscientious ones, and to place matters before them in the worst possible light. Some have felt grieved and offended because of the condition of membership, and since the organization their feelings of dissatisfaction have greatly increased. Strong prejudice has governed them. {1T 329.2}

Bror G forsøgte at handle med stor varsomhed. Han vidste at den gruppe som modsatte sig visionerne var forkerte, at de ikke var virkelig tro mod sandheden; og for at ryste disse hindringer væk, lykkedes det ham at ikke få nogen ind i menigheden, som ikke troede den tredje engels budskab og visionerne. Dette holdt nogle dyrebare sjæle ude, som ikke har kæmpet imod visionerne. De turde ikke forene sig med menigheden og frygtede at de skulle påtage sig det som de ikke forstod og fuldt ud troede. Og der var nogle som var rede til fordømme disse samvittighedsfulde mennesker og lægge sager foran dem i det værst mulige lys. Nogle har følt sig bedrøvede og krænkede på grund af medlemskabets vilkår og siden organiseringen er de blevet stærkt misfornøjede. Stærke fordomme har hersket over dem.
