Fruits of the “No-Work” Doctrine . There were some in Paris, Maine, who believed that it was sin to work. The Lord gave me a reproof for the leader in this error, declaring that he was going contrary to the word of God in abstaining from labor, in urging his errors upon others, and in denouncing all who did not receive them. He rejected every evidence which the Lord gave to convince him of his error, and was determined to make no change in his course. He took weary journeys, walking great distances to places where he would receive only abuse, and thought that in so doing he was suffering for Christ’s sake. Impressions were followed, and reason and judgment were laid aside. {LS 86.3}

Frugterne af "ikke-arbejde" læren
Der var nogle i Paris, Maine, som troede at det var en synd at arbejde. Herren gav mig en irettesættelse til lederen af denne vildfarelse, erklærede at han gik direkte imod Guds ord ved at afstå sig fra arbejde, og skyde sine fejl over på andre, og fordømme alle som ikke tog imod disse fejl. Han afviste ethvert bevis som Herren gav, for at overbevise ham om hans fejl, og var besluttet på at ikke lave om på dette. Han tog ud på udtrættende rejser, gik store distancer til steder hvor han kun ville blive mishandlet, og mente at han derved led for Kristi sag. Det gav indtryk, og fornuften og dømmekraften blev lagt til side.
