Allegations of Anti-semitism

 * Independent Lay Evangelist faces Accusations of Anti-Semitism after Speaking in Germany
 * This report comes from another independent Adventist news magazine, Adventist Today.


 * Arno Hamburger calls Veiths statements about Jews "nonsense"


 * Arno Hamburger, the chairman of the Jewish Community of Nuremberg, did not consider Veith's comments to be anti-semitic. Rather, he considered them nonsense. Even antisemites could not build on such nonsense, he said.


 * Andrea Livnat, anti-Semitism expert and editor in chief of the German-Jewish Internet magazine "haGalil", said Veith's lecture is clearly permeated by anti-Semitic statements. "That is quite beyond doubt," Livnat, commented, "Veith transported and spread obviously anti-Semitic stereotypes, this specifically uses for his argument and trivialized the Holocaust." She said his comments were outrageous.

Vieth in Spectrum Magazine

 * Spectrum Magazine has a long history of news reporting on the Adventist World. Their work is especially useful here because they keep an arm's length from church control. Observations presented hear are less bias toward the church than most other Adventist magazines.


 * The articles about Veith are less than flattering. But as mentioned above neutrality is not a criteria for reliability.


 * Note these:






 * "Ron Osborn’s recent take on Walter Veith drew thousands of readers and nearly a thousand comments (thus far). "




 * "Walter Veith is the leading conspiratory voice within Adventism, followed by Bill Hughes and others. Veith has produced hundreds of hours of DVDs that keep his listeners sitting on the edge of the couch. Some viewers are anxious to hear his latest speculations; many are filled with anxiety for the future. Like a drug addiction, the more people view the videos, the more money they spend on these theories."


 * Note that Veith is the leading conspiratory voice within Adventist which has an annual budget of 50 billion dollars and a world membership of 18 million.


 * Our Nutty Fringe


 * "For how many years has Walter Veith been speaking in our churches? And yet the first thing that’s caught the leaders’ attention is his anti-Semitism? The surprise is not that one region finally banned him, but that he has been for years, and continues to be, invited to speak in Seventh-day Adventist churches around the world! Why is that? It’s because a lot of his conspiratorial nonsense isn’t unwelcome among us. Go where the self-supporting folks are gathered, and you’ll find groups who self-identify as Seventh-day Adventists, whose central beliefs intersect ours on the Venn diagram, but with an appended compliment of their own bizarre ideas, from survivalism to radical health extremism to invisible barcodes on our foreheads to the Adventist church itself being Babylon. It shouldn’t escape your notice that we have had far more patience with Walter Veith and his made-up conspiracies than we showed a respected Adventist scholar who questioned the Investigative Judgment by referring to the Bible alone."

 * It should be noted that Spectrum Magazine is a voice of the Progressive, Anti-conservative minority in the SDA church. It does not represent the thinking of the majority of SDAs and that bias should be taken into account.  --RoyBurtonson (talk) 02:07, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed, to a point. That is, Spectrum does not represent the official voice of Adventism. Spectrum will present critical views which the main stream Adventist press would never print. This usually means it is seen as a voice of the "progressive" wing of the church. This arm's length relationship with the church gives it a reliable reputation among many editors. Conservative Adventists often will respond in the comment section after an article. DonaldRichardSands (talk) 22:50, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Sedition
Removed it as we shouldn't have unsourced quotes and I'm not sure that it isn't WP:UNDUE. See which has a translation of a newspaper article - the blog isn't an RS, maybe someone can find and use the original newspaper article. Doug Weller (talk) 09:45, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
