Good for you. Good thing the SBs tightened things up, too. That's when Jim-mah left claiming the SBs were so-o-o-o-o intolerant. Truth is not in the virtues of lexicon of the left anymore than exposure in broad daylight is part of the survival strategy of cockroaches.

I was there JUST PRIOR to the split (until 1992). Until then, I wasn't really too aware of what was happening within the Southern Baptist Convention, I just wanted to learn about the Bible...although there were rumblings that Joe Average on the street probably knew about: "The SBs are fighting amongst themselves."
Boy, did I get an eyeful, up close and personal.
There was not "infighting" at the Seminary itself, at least not on the surface. "Unity" and "tolerance" were strongly encouraged. Dissent was seen as "unloving" and "intolerant." (Sound familiar?)
Just like liberals in politics, my liberal professors used smokescreens when you tried to nail them down to exactly what they were saying, they parsed their words, they used deception and evasion, and painted you as the "unloving one" who wanted to "destroy the fellowship" if you disagreed (they demonized their opposition.)
Keep in mind, this was exactly when Bill Clinton took office, so when he brought his act to the world stage and was using the EXACT PLAYBOOK I had seen used the seminary, I knew this was huge.
Liberalism is not only a mental disorder, it is a spiritual abomination, which enslaves people with its lies.
