Comment on Report on LSU constituency meeting by Russell.
Well, let’s put it this way. When I ran into an issue in my kids Adventist elementary/middle school and pulled them from it, I had members of my church approach me and tell me we had to “keep them in the school to show our support for the faith” (paraphrased). God help us if we have to support an institution when that specific (let me repeat specific) institution fails in its duties to God and the church.

This is also very similar to the Ford controversy regarding Daniel from 30 years back.
The long and short of it is this. If you find yourself in disagreement with the church and the fundamental beliefs, you have a decision to make. Can you be intellectually honest in fellow-shipping with those that are at variance with your beliefs and still keep faith with the church that teaches what you don’t believe?
If you say, “Yes”, you are being more than intellectually dishonest, you are being self-deceiving as well. You need to then work within the church to change it and be up front about it. Or, you need to leave.
La Sierra (choke) needs to leave. If this is the best moral argument they can make (“look into their faces”) then there is more wrong than just the evolutionary teaching in biology. There are some serious delusions being taught. It should stop.
