Ellen White’s Head Injury
Seventh-day Adventists believe that Ellen G. White (born 1827, died 1915) possessed what they “have accepted as the prophetic gift described in the Bible.” 1Endnotes Seventh-day Adventist Yearbook, 1988 (Hagerstown, Md.: Review and Herald Publishing Association), p. 7. When she was nine years old, an angry schoolmate threw a stone, which struck her on the nose and caused significant injury. Some have alleged that this blow so severely damaged the temporal lobe of her brain as to cause her to have a type of epilepsy known as partial complex seizures (also called complex partial seizures). Thus, it is argued, her visions were not divine revelations from God, but due to temporal lobe epilepsy.ViOSe 5.4
