She says to him, “What I am reading of your complaints against the book are legitimate if the book was written to convince a loyal Adventist reader.” Teresa defends against Ron’s criticisms by saying the book isn’t for current Adventists or even non-Adventists, but is intended for former Adventists to give them “historically accurate information” they didn’t get from the Adventist church.

False depiction of Millerism, colored by their animosity.White Published Writings website” that is actually from an anti-Ellen White webpage. Slopping and inadequate footnoting (including attributing something to “Ellen G.A lack of objectivity, and a clear animus against Adventism.Let me first summarize Ron’s main points of criticism, since that’s how this conversation started: Teresa commented on February 21 that she thought Corson was unfair, and offered to send me a copy.

Though she feels quite normal, her life has been anything but (including feeling free to end a sentence with the prepositional form of the word).On February 1, 2009, I linked to Ron Corson’s review of Theresa and Arthur Beem’s book, It’s Okay NOT to Be a Seventh-day Adventist. Teresa brings a new perspective to everything. Arthur and Teresa spent many months in Europe researching for the story and because she prefers not to fly, they have crossed the Atlantic four times via ship. She has published non-fiction in many periodicals however, she has just completed her first novel trilogy. Today, her children are adults and now her time is spent writing. Through her incredible life, Teresa has always seen God's leading. Teresa Beem was a guest on EWTN's program, The Journey Home. After graduating home academy, all three of her children attended Liberty University. This turn of events put her physical situation where she could not work, so she decided to homeschool her three children. Her dream of singing in opera or musical theater had to be replaced with a new focus. Her career as a singer was taking off when the car she was driving was hit by a drug addict, dislocating her jaw and giving her chronic back problems. She also founded and was president of an anti-abortion organization, Adventists for Life-which gave her opportunity to speak on radio, in churches and schools. Teresa has always sung in public, but after three children, she returned to school to be classically trained and earned her degree in music performance as a lyric soprano. She began dating him in 1979 and they married in 1984. David Koresh of the Waco massacre-who also hung sheetrock in her home and tried to convince her of his prophetic abilities.Īt a parochial boarding school in South Texas, she met her husband, Arthur, and they grew close traveling together in a small Christian singing group. And to add to her extraordinary experiences, she went to school with Vernon Howell a.k.a. Her childhood was kept busy entertaining her five siblings with theatrical performances, often including the neighbor children. Teresa and her siblings toured Texas as a 1970s Seventh-day Adventist version of the Von Trapp family singers. Theresa and her older brother would sneak down and peek through the banisters trying to catch a glimpse of people such as Bob Hope, Danny Thomas and other political and Hollywood celebrities. When small, Teresa's parents would take their children to Ling's mansion and put them to bed while they attended lavish parties downstairs. Which was rather an amusing sight when maids served the plain fare on china with solid silver utensils. Her father, determined to keep his six children from being spoiled, occasionally insisted that they eat rice and beans for dinner. Later in life, she found out that home was haunted, which explains a lot of her oddly creepy childhood experiences.

Her home, called Blossom Manor, came complete with a dark, dungeon-like basement with two full sized stuffed alligators. When she was five, she already wanted to be a mother so badly that during a large party she stole one of the guest's baby's and hid it out with her in the closet. Often escaping there to play, the closet had a window seat where she could gaze out at the world and dream. Hence, growing up Teresa was always introduced as "Jim Ling's granddaughter." Trickle-down economics in this family meant Teresa's large pink room had its own fireplace, bathroom, sitting area and a bright, mammoth closet. Her grandfather built one of the first billion-dollar companies in Dallas, Ling-Tempo-Vought.
