 Does Mrs. White pass the Biblical Tests of a Prophet?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
White had some failures in her early career, learned her lesson, and was more careful in later predictions to make them obscure and ambiguous enough so that she could not be accused by her detractors of making false predictions.
White was receiving frequent public visions, she claimed on a number of occasions to have seen in vision the door of salvation shut and that Adventists no longer needed to work for the salvation of the world.
White's teachings contradict the Bible, she adds to the Bible with countless restrictions and rules that are found nowhere in Scripture.

 Sensei's Library: Pass fight
Some variants of go rules lead to situations where one player may be able to gain from not passing at certain times near the end of the game, and a pass fight, similar to a ko fight, may develop.
For instance, suppose that the players are playing by a variant of the AGA rules using pass stones where the second pass in succession ends play without the requirement that White make the last pass.
In general the pass fight about not being forced to play a p (pass) instead of playing an s because all other empty intersections would be S (suicide, the standard form of prohibited repetitive play) or K (all other prohibited repetitive play like in "Ing-hot" kos).

 White Pass and Yukon Route Rail
The White Pass or Skagway Trail wandered 45 miles from Skagway to Lake Bennett and was one of the two passes that opened up the interior of the Yukon.

When the White Pass was finally agreed upon, considerable diplomacy was required to get Canada to permit the railroad to cross the border.
