Comment on La Sierra Univeristy Fires Dr. Lee Greer; Signs anti-Creation Bond by Holly Pham.

BTW, I also contacted David Deruguis, many weeks ago, about the details of the bonds, and received no answer. The exact number of bonds and the buildings covered are still unknown. Will we be able to get this information?

Charles: the

Charles, I agree with you. But, this type of reasoning is very common among liberals. This past Sabbath on LLBN, John Jones and Ivan Blazen tried to convince Carolyn Thompson that sin is “relative” meaning that something may be a sin to one person, but not to another.

She questioned them, and offered examples, and they stuck to this idea.

ProfessorKent:
Phil,

You’re dealing with people here who are motivated by hatred and intolerance. I don’t know how else to state it.

I sometimes wonder whether their statements, like those by David Read here and elsewhere directed toward Wisbey, approach the level of slander that could be taken to court.

I wish the Church’s leadership would simply ask these people to take down their websites, which serve as platforms to publicly abuse individuals, proffer unGodly gossip, and provoke the war that David Read so hysterically advocates. Only hatred and intolerance can motivate those who so enthusiastically undermine the Church’s doctrine on unity.

Well, one reason why the Church’s leadership doesn’t try to take down this website is that many of the pastors I have spoken to who read it from time to time (but don’t comment themselves) AGREE with it!

Shane–has the GC, Pacific Union Conference, or even La Sierra asked or threatened you in any way to remove this website?

David Read: @Sean Pitman: There is certainly documentation somewhere of what the remainder of the bond funds was spent on. I imagine that the University was required by the bond trustee to document the capital projects the money was used on (because the funds could not be used for salaries or ordinary current operation expenses). So this is probably a public document that can be obtained through the freedom of information act.Also, I imagine that this information has been made available to the Board of Trustees and/or constituents, so if you have any contacts in those bodies, ask for the information.Keep digging, because you or Shane will find this information somewhere.

Dave, I agree with you completely. We need to have this investigated by somebody or some SDA group, preferably the GC. But, I do not think anyone there will step up to do it. So, we do need Shane, Sean, or someone.

@David Read, Can ET or Advindicate get an interview with somebody who actually knows, first hand, what went on with this AAA accreditation? What “deals” were made and by whom, why, and with what “strings” attached?

@Sean Pitman, I agree with the lack of transparency at LLU and virtually anywhere in our SDA system. The hiding behind closed doors is rampant, not only at LLU, but on the Conference level, Union, and even the GC. Try to ask anybody a really specific question. All you get is either nothing or another set of vague responses. Try it some time, and you will see what I mean.

Any insiders know WHY this happened? Was it part of a “deal” with AAA for accreditation?
