## Resume of Apostasy **Neal C. Wilson** served as General Conference President from 1979–1990, during which period he made two public confessions that form the legal and spiritual cornerstone of the apostasy case against the 501(c)(3) GC-SDA: ### The Two Fatal Admissions #### Admission #1 — Federal Court, 1974 In **EEOC vs. Pacific Press Publishing Association and General Conference** (Civil Case #74-2025 CBR, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California), Wilson filed a **Reply Brief** containing this sworn statement: > *"Although it is true that there was a period in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when the denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic viewpoint, and it is true that certain of the denomination's publications — including the book 'Great Controversy' — have . . . criticized the papacy, that attitude on the Church's part was nothing more than a manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant denominations in the early part of this century and the latter part of the last, and which has now been **consigned to the historical trash heap** so far as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned."* This statement was made under **penalty of perjury** in a federal court filing. **Significance:** The pioneering Three Angels' Messages — specifically the Second Angel's "Babylon is fallen" call and the Third Angel's mark-of-the-beast warning against Rome — have been the doctrinal spine of Adventism since 1844. Wilson declared this history "rubbish." #### Admission #2 — Adventist Review, 1981 Seven years later, as GC President, Wilson published in the denominational flagship magazine: > *"There is another universal and truly Catholic organization, the Seventh-day Adventist Church."* — Adventist Review, March 5, 1981 **Significance:** While the 501(c)(3) IRS filing (EIN 52-0643036, ruling year 1950) classified the organization as Protestant (X21), the GC's own president declared it Catholic in print. This is the textbook definition of **criminal simulation** — using a false identity to obtain tax-exempt benefits and public trust. ### Career Timeline | Year | Position / Action | |------|------------------| | 1920 | Born Lodi, California | | 1940s–1970s | Rose through GC administrative ranks | | **1974** | **Filed "trash heap" brief in federal court** — EEOC vs. Pacific Press | | 1979 | Elected GC President | | **1981** | **"Truly Catholic organization" statement in Adventist Review** — March 5, 1981 | | 1990 | Retired as GC President | | 2010 | Died, Silver Spring, Maryland | ### The IRS Fraud Explained The GC-SDA is registered with the IRS under: - **EIN: 52-0643036** - **Ruling Year: 1950** - **Classification: X21 (Protestant)** Wilson's 1974 and 1981 admissions confirm that the organization filed as Protestant while **operating as and identifying with Roman Catholicism**. This constitutes: 1. **Religious Identity Theft** — claiming Protestant pioneer heritage while rejecting their doctrines 2. **IRS Fraud** — filing as Protestant to obtain 501(c)(3) benefits while confessing Catholic identity 3. **Donor Fraud** — collecting tithes under false representation (Protestant), used for Catholic-doctrine-teaching institutions > *[GuideStar profile: EIN 52-0643036](https://www2.guidestar.org/Profile/52-0643036)* > *[ProPublica: EIN 520643036](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/520643036)* ### Ted Wilson — The Son Continues the Legacy Neal C. Wilson's son, **Ted N.C. Wilson**, became GC President in 2010 and continues to expand the corporate empire while maintaining the "Protestant" IRS designation his father called a "trash heap." --- *Sources: EEOC vs. Pacific Press, Civil Case #74-2025 CBR (1974) | Adventist Review, March 5, 1981 | IRS EIN 52-0643036 | 144000.com/schoolfraud | GuideStar*
