Comment on La Sierra University won’t neglect creation teaching, president, chairman vow by Ron Stone M.D..
One of the strategies of liberals in our SDA Church is to “put off” and stall. Several of the proponents of liberalism have actually stated a specific strategy that they believe might work, which is to wait until the “conservatives” die off or retire!
Ryan Bell expressed this on a podcast in Nov. 209 and Hyveth Williams said essentially the same thing on LLBN’s “Intersections” show today (3-31-11)when speaking about women’s ordination.
The problem with this strategy is that the SDA Church is gatherering most of its new members in more conservative areas of the world, i.e. outside the NAD.
I think LSU may have a similar strategy in place. Wait, stall, put off, and continue to slowly undermine our SDA beliefs, as we see going on in the area of “evolution as fact” until a new set of leaders are elected or appointed,or the conservatives simply “die off.”
This strategy may work, at least short term, as conferences such as we see in the Pacific Unions simply “do their own thing” no matter what the world church believes, knowing that the so-called leaders, even the “conservative” ones, will do nothing to stop them. It’s working so far, as we see at LSU!

The moment someone quotes an imbecile like David Asscherick with any credibility, who even Wikipedia states became a pastor without a college degree, you know they’re just pushing an anti-Science agenda and should lose all credibility.It’s unfortunate that La Sierra has buckled under the ridiculous attacks that wreaked of McCarthyism. Off I go to non-Adventist colleges to get a REAL education! It’s too bad, really, I was seriously considering La Sierra.
By what criteria do you judge David Assherick to be an “imbecile?!” Because he preaches God’s Truth? Because he isn’t afraid to stand up to heresy and apostasy in our SDA Church? Are those criteria for an “inbecile?” If so we have a LOT of “imbecile” pastors that we need to put out to pasture! The Hope Channel and 3ABN need to remove just about their whole staffs!

Well it is now clear that the fox is in the hen house. So… lets just educate that fox to present to the chickens that he just wants a dialog to ensue before lunch. The chickens will buy it, will the owners of the hen house believe the fox has changed its ways? Stay tuned…
Well stated Marcel!!!

This is the typical garbage that has been coming out of PUC for many years. People wonder why our colleges are losing students, despite the fact that we take more and more non-SDAs each year.
My Goal for La Sierra University
The reason the LaSierra situation has gone uncorrected so long is that most of our administrators have exactly the sort of political instincts that Dan Jackson has. They are politicians and consensus builders; they want to keep the peace and make the trains run on time. But the circumstances call for men of principle, hard men who are willing to stand for the right “though the heavens fall,†i.e., regardless who is offended and loudly complains.
Dave, I agree with you. Jackson’s trying to play on “both teams” is not going to go well for him.
Unfortunately, politics is the “SOP” of many of our SDA officials, Jackson being just one. “Political instincts” are the rule, instead of actually doing what is “right” according to what we know in God’s Word.
Bradley, Beach and Kaatz retain attorney
Shane Hilde: Think big fish: LSU or the Seventh-day Adventist Church.Graham might not have followed procedure with these men, but I don’t know what the procedure is. I’ve read what the process is in the faculty handbook, but I don’t know if that applies to administrative positions which are at will employees. If it does apply to them, then it appears the process was not followed.
Trustees book says, in 6,9,F, that the Trustes may “discontinue” virtually anyone working at the university.
Does that mean to “fire” or to “force their resignation? Seems like it does.
