Thank you for Posting.
With regards to your question,
The Answer is YES.
And the ANSWER, is no.
It would be best if after this paragraph, those reading, read no more and simply visit the link below and listen in full consideration to find answer. IT WOULD BE BEST…but I know there are those who will not follow the counsel, and maybe, one or two who will. For those who will, I applaud you. But for those who will not, or the very rarity of one or two who may, and still need further consideration, the text here in this reply beyond the link below is given to lend reply to your question and the two laconic answers above. Angela I strongly recommend as your concern is “Precept upon Precept, Truth upon Truth” that you start here below, and listen to the sermon in full before returning to read the rest of this reply, for there is thing I wish to point out from the same, which I will more fully expound on later in this reply. In such, I will later point to directly by position on the timeline of the video below the thing I most wish you to get from that sermon with regards to the question you have asked of me at this time. I will point to the actual position on that timeline for quicker reference, but it would be much better for you first to listen to, or to, if you have heard the sermon previously, LISTEN AGAIN if that is the case, to this sermon below in full before continuing to read on:

I have had to study these teachings you note of Sister White to Brother Roden and more connected teachings, over the years. I have spent countless hours in conversations over the years as well with Clive Doyle on matters relating to the teachings of David Koresh, Lois Roden, Benjamin Roden, Victor Houteff and Ellen White.
Before we get too far into this, I recommend you most emphatically check out anything I have to offer, by contacting Clive Doyle, or Livingstone Fagan, or others whom I may along the way refer to. Investigate for yourself. Both Clive and Livingstone are my friends, but neither have endorsed my claims publicly, or to my knowledge privately. Clive over the years has shown tolerance with a “Wait and See” attitude, Livingstone has protested my proclamations but seems given to the belief that God has his reasons for leading me in the manner he does. I thank you for the Testimony you offered, I look forward to getting to know you better and I confess that yes, the varied personalities in all of this and the groups and splinter groups make things very confusing at times, especially for someone newly looking in and investigating. It is for this reason that for years, I have in good candor, to avoid any further confusion, cited that the Surviving Students of David Koresh are aware of my claims, and some are my friends, some are not, but none have endorsed me. I should point Out I do not seek such endorsement either, My concern, is to Please God. In such I will address my own testimony to you in greater detail another time, for it has been a very unusual journey. But I note to you, to consider greatly that there are those out there saying “Listen to Me” and presenting themselves as “Authority Figures” even writing themselves into the history of events with a revisionist presentation that is far less than candid, and who at every turn, quote the surviving Students of David Koresh, but then try to assert themselves as EQUALS to those Survivors, when they are in fact not. Such persons do not point people to The Survivors, any more than they point people to God, rather the try to draw people unto themselves. IN such, they will not say, “feel free to go verify what I say with so and so, with this person who is a surviving Student of David Koresh, or that person” because quite simply, they know such works against their agenda. And you have splits amongst the survivors themselves. And I will address that later and point you to what David had to say of the pattern by which Truth advances in this world which illuminates the current status of the Body of believers. It is with this type of attitude, that my concern is that if I am draw anyone, to anything, Let it be the truth. And so I point people to the Survivors knowing full well the potential some may speak against me. But ultimately, my goal is to Point people to God, and I say, “God told me this, but uh, don’t go bother Clive or Livingstone…just trust me on such” or if I in bad form tried to say…”well I learned this from David Koresh, and he said this before the ATF ever put a ladder against our home on February 28th, 1993” when I was in fact not in Texas in the timeframe, had never met a Branch Davidian prior or heard the term….well, that would not be in the interest of further propagating TRUTH.
David Koresh taught “Let the LORD BE A WITNESS AGAINST THEE” from Scripture, and one is not willing to let Man be a witness against oneself, less than candid and not willing to own up to what one proclaims, well that too, is not in the interest of truth.
That Said, for any reading at this point, including yourself Angela (With great hopes you have listened to that sermon prior to arriving here in this reply), if you need the contact information for either Clive Doyle or Livingstone Fagan, and will fwd me your private email address to my own, cridercreativeworks (At) gmail (Dot) com, I will provide you with both Clives phone number, the best timeframes to reach him, and Livingstone Fagan’s Email address, both of which have been made more than public over the years.
That said, onto a more loquacious address of replying to your question, and hopefully one that will offer unexpected enlightenment as well.
-Benjamin
