35:1 32. Fratele G. 35:2 (Afirmatia lui W. C. White: "Cu privire la fratele G., pot vorbi deschis. Cam prin 1875, s-a casatorit cu o profesoara stralucita. Ea era foarte talentata, insa dupa cativa ani s-a pus pe harta impotriva lui si i-a facut viata mizerabila. La vremea aceea el era in tovarasia unei tinere deosebite, contabila la colegiul X si s-a indragostit 35:3 de ea. Sora White i-a scris avertizandu-l clar iar el a promis ca-i va da ascultare, la scurt timp dupa ce sora White a plecat in Europa, fratele G. si-a dat demisia din functia pe care o avea la colegiul X si a plecat in Michigan la sora lui, neimpiedicand-o pe sotia lui sa obtina divortul. 35:4 Pana aici, cei care au cunoscut acest caz a l-au aprobat, insa la scurt timp dupa aceea, el s-a casatorit cu contabila mentionata mai inainte, insa dupa aceea toti prietenii lui au fost foarte intristati. El a predat un timp la ____ apoi s-a stabilit aproape de _____ si timp de cativa ani a muncit foarte greu, sotia lui ajutandu-l sa-si intretina viata prin mica ferma de legume si fructe pe care o aveau. Au ajuns sa vada pe ce cale pacatoasa au apucat. S-au pocait cu amar, iar fratii si surorile lor au fost multumiti ca pocainta lor a fost autentica. Au avut trei copii care au crescut frumos si nici unul dintre ei, din cate stiu, nu i-au indemnat sa se desparta. Cand lucrul acesta a fost adus la cunostinta sorei White, ea nu a incurajat despartirea si nu a incurajat nici o actiune de a-l exclude de a participa la lucrarea intreitei solii ingeresti. In anii care a urmat el a lucrat, pe o cale umila, intretinandu-se singur, in lucrarea din sud. 35:5 Daca persoanele care traiesc in lumina intreitei solii ingeresti au ca scop sa se desparta de tovarasul de viata pentru a se uni prin casatorie cu altcineva, datoria noastra este sa avertizam, sa mustram si sa punem sub disciplina. 35:6 In ce privesc persoanele care inainte de a primi solia au fost ispititi si au cazut in cursa, insa dupa aceea s-au pocait, si-au marturisit pacatele, au primit iertare din partea lui Dumnezeu si au castigat increderea fratilor lor, este mai bine ca, atat pastorii, cat si laicii, sa-i lase in pace, sa se bucure de iertarea si 35:7 indreptatirea Domnului Hristos, fara se intreprinda nimic in a strica relatiile existente. (21 februarie 1927) 35:8 Fratele White a adaugat mai tarziu: "Convingerea mea este ca fratii nostri au facut mult timp o greseala grava cautand sa desparta familii; venind cu argumente ca, tinandu-si legamantul, facut neintelept in majoritatea cazurilor, acestia continua sa comita adulter zi de zi." (Scrisoarea lui W. C. White, 6 ianuarie 1931) 35:9 (Atitudinea Ellenei White in privinta fratelui G. se vede in scrisorile care urmeaza). 35:10 O, intelepciune de sus! Stimate frate Haskell: ...Noi consideram ca deschiderea (Scolii Biblice de la Melbourne) a fost buna. Toti sunt multumiti de cladiri si de localizarea scolii. Acest lucru estre demn de remarcat pentru ca in general sunt unii care critica insa de data aceasta nu s-a exprimat nici un cuvant de nemultumire si nu s-a facut nici macar vreo aluzie de acest fel. 35:11 Am discutat dupa intalnirea cu fratele Starr. Era vorba despre un profesor de gramatica pentru clasele avansate. Nu avem probleme cu clasele primare de gramatica, insa avem nevoie de profesori bine calificati in toate ramurile si speram ca fratele Olsen sa gaseasca un alt barbat sau o alta femeie sa poata veni in Australia ca profesor titular. Daca G. ar fi fost asa cum trebuia, el ar fi fost cel mai in masura sa vina. Insa problema este legata de influenta lui. Nu ne putem aventura sa riscam. Nu am nici o indoiala ca Domnul l-a iertat. Insa daca este obligat sa dea explicatii, nu ii va fi usor; asa ca, ce sa facem cu G.? Sa-l lasam acolo unde este, prada remuscarilor si sa-l lasam sa nu fie de nici un folos tot restul 35:12 vietii? Nu vad ce se poate face. O, intelepciune! Cat de mult avem nevoie de sfatul Aceluia care citeste inima ca pe o carte deschisa! Cum urmareste Satana sufletele ca sa le lege cu lanturile sale diabolice, ca sa fie pierduti pentru lucrare si sa ajunga aproape neajutorati in mainile sale." (Scrisoarea 13, 1892, scrisa la cinci ani dupa casatoria nebiblica a fratelui G.) 35:13 Invitatia intr-o alta tara. Stimate frate G. Daca m-as simti in larg sa spun ceea ce gandesc, ti-as fi dat de mult sfatul sa te muti din locul in care te afli. Am sperat ca fratii sa aiba intelepciunea de sus sa te sfatuiasca sa nu stai acolo unde te afli astazi. Daca este ceva ce trebuie sa faci, aceasta trebuie curand. Daca ai fi in aceasta tara (Australia) eu cred cu toata inima ca ai vedea usi deschide ca sa poti lucra ca purtator de lumina fata de aceia care se afla in negura pacatului. 35:14 Cum ar fi daca ai veni in aceasta tara? Ca si Avraam care a plecat nestiind unde se duce si cautand cu umilinta calauzire, eu fac apel la tine sa iei o hotarare. Vino aici in Australia, cat timp ne aflam noi aici. Vino pe propria ta raspundere. Vei avea mijloacele necesare, daca iti vinzi ferma, ca sa poti veni aici. Apoi eu cred ca se va deschide o cale pentru tine ca sa lucrezi si fie ca Domnul sa te calauzeasca, aceasta este dorinta mea fierbinte si rugaciunea mea sincera... 35:15 Este de lucru din belsug pentru tine in marele camp al secerisului. Aici sunt campuri coapte, gata pentru seceris, este de inceput o lucrare in Sydney, care are cam un milion de oameni si in Melbourne care ar chiar mai multi locuitori. Apoi este Queensland, in care trebuie sa patrundem. Sunt treizeci de pazitori ai Sabatului in Queensland care n-au vazut sau n-au auzit niciodata un pastor predicand iar altii sunt imprastiati pretutindeni in aceasta 35:16 regiune, asteptand solia adevarului. 35:17 Vrei sa te gandesti la acest lucru si sa ne scrii ce crezi despre aceasta? Cum stai cu banii? Ce ai de gand sa faci? Ce iti pune Domnul in minte? Te rog, gandeste-te la acest lucru si fie ca Domnul sa-ti dea intelepciunea de a te muta de acolo in alt loc de indata. Cu multa dragoste. (scrisoarea 7 a, 1894) 35:18 Urmand calauzirea Domnului. Stimate frate si sora G., sunt bucuroasa sa am vesti de la voi si sa aflu ca va straduiti sa fiti de un cat mai mare folos pentru caza lui Dumnezeu. Este privilegiul vostru sa primiti o mare binecuvantare, ajutandu-i pe altii. Puteti fi "fara preget in sarguinta", "plini de ravna cu Duhul, slujind Domnului" (Rom. 12, 11). Va puteti ajuta semenii punandu-va la lucru puterile si exercitand principiile economiei. Noi trebuie sa cheltuim banii in mod judicios si eu cred ca voi va veti stradui sa faceti acest lucru. 35:19 Fiti intotdeauna plini de nadejde, si cresteti in harul si intelepciunea lui Hristos. Sunt mai mult decat bucuroasa ca poti sa te angajezi in lucrarea de la scoala si sa-ti unesti eforturile cu ale altor lucratori in a deschide Scripturile acelora care nu inteleg Cuvantul lui Dumnezeu. Cred ca Domnul te-a calauzit. (Scrisoarea 56, 1910) |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
