What is the difference between a training, versus a seminary or Bible institute? According to the paragraph above, it is to have a seminary or Bible institute but strenuously deny that it is so; rather call it a training, so as to distinguish it from the fallen and corrupt religious system. Other than that I can see little or no difference.
Just change the label, and all things are new! Who knew?

I have heard FTTA trainees refer to the training as a "Bible School" when explaining the training to outsiders. I've even heard them use this terminology when discussing it with newer LC members.
It's ironic though. If what they're attending isn't a seminary, then why can't they come clean and say that, especially to outsiders? I know very well that they want to lead outsiders to believe that they are attending a seminary, all the while, within the LC, there are denials of the training being such.
