W. W. Phelps reports on a claim Oliver Olney said he had conversed with, and received revealtions from, the Ancient of Days.
W. W. Phelps, "Effects of Apostacy," Times and Seasons 4, no. 6 (February 1, 1843): 89
It will be recollected that in the 11 no. vol. 3, there was a long article written upon the nature and effects of false spirits, which was headed, "Try the Spirits." Among other individuals that were mentioned as having false spirits as Oliver Olney, who thought that he had "seen and conversed with the ancient's of days, and who stated that he had received many revelations; but refused to bring them forward and to have them investigated; we quote the following: "Mr. Olney has also been tried by the High Council, and disfellowshipped, because he would not have his writings tested by the word of God; evidently proving that he loves darkness rather than light, because his deeds are evil."
