Default Re: Training vs Seminary

One very close to me went to the first FTT in Taipei. She stayed for only the one session, was very unhappy, and came home.

In just a few years in became obvious that the training was actually to be a two year deal. Minor flags went off in my head. My mother had been to a Christian and Missionary Alliance CMA in the mid twenties. Even WL spoke somewhat kindly at times of A B Simpson. He was at least involved with a Bible school at both Nyack NY and Toccoa GA. My mother was a real Christian and received good help there. The school at Toccoa Falls was a two year course. I was "born" in the AOG which was organized in 1914 and I believe in the early thirties began Central Bible Institute in Springfield, MO. Then later a very small sect known as the LC starts a bible school with a two year course just as the CMA and AOG. To me that was remarkable. The CMA school at Taccoa Falls and the AOG school now offer baccalaureate degrees so it follows the LC schools will do the same. I don't think it can be called Lee University but maybe Blended University and I'm sure there are plenty of other names available from the deep thinkers.

The FTT does have a unique aim as I heard from RK on more than one occasion, "we would like to have your young ones for two years, break them, and produce good material for the LC." Something quite upsetting, mean,wreckless, whatever about such talk. The daughter of an elder I know revealed she was so unhappy at the end of the two years had she not landed the husband of her dreams, she was out.

There is just so much wrong with the LC establishment. The bad, evil far outweighs any good.
