ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

GA - Lives!
Tolja, Tolja, Tolja
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "WELS GA Personality":
It is absolutely true that GA still goes on underground, conducted by a few select Seniors against a few select Juniors [first year students]. Those Juniors are then instructed to select a few worthy candidates when they are seniors and to carry on the tradition underground, on a smaller scale. It is now in the deep shadows, and much smaller...but GA lives. I know. I saw it. Three years ago. I was there.
The "genius" of this system is that 90% of seminary students are left thinking that GA is in fact dead, because they are left out of it. So, 90% of recent graduates could say, without failing a lie detector test, "GA is dead." But they're just ignorant. It lives.

GJ - Habitual liars are going to stop? No, GA is based on deception so the falsehoods continue.

The spirit of GA is strong in the commenter who wrote that someone might not attend seminary because they are "fraid of being hazed." That's the standard line given by the pro-GA hazing crowd--that those who opt out of GA are weenies. It's similar to line about how those who don't like CG are lazy pastors not interested in outreach.
Others went to Bethany or another seminary not because they were scared, but because who'd want to join, or keep being a member of, an outfit that condoned and excused such inane practices that detracted from college and seminary education?
