Ellen White Tithe Appropriation

Needs additional research

This node is referenced from Standish — Tithes and Offerings, Trampling the Conscience's "Major concepts" list but was never written up. Flagged 2026-08-15 during a knowledge-graph reconciliation audit (20 such broken links found across the Rodriguez, Standish, and Vine primary-source nodes, all from the same pattern — an aspirational concept list written before the concept nodes themselves).

This may not be needed as a standalone node at all — it's possible the concept is adequately covered inside its parent source node, or overlaps enough with an existing node that it should be merged rather than written fresh. Check before investing research time here.

Ellen White's own documented instances of directing tithe outside normal denominational channels — the historical evidence Standish leans on most heavily. Compare Watson Letter (1905), which already covers the best-known such instance in detail.
