There is a reason that I call them “BOIs.” In case you have forgotten what BOIS stand for, it stands for “Bunch of Idiots.”

After reading some more literature (if one could call it that) by the Alumni, I have found it interesting to see the Alumni want to take Erskine away from Biblical authority under the guise of “Christian love.”

It seems as if your belief is based not upon critical thinking (as Dr. Crenshaw would have you think), nor upon any biblical texts as you would lead us to believe (your reference to the second greatest command), but upon your own feelings that sway to and fro like a branch in the wind.

Jumping from ARP, to SBC, and now a Nazarene? Not trying to get into a denominational battle here, but really? It sounds as if YOU are the basis of what is true, and not the holy Word of God. I cringe at what Erskine taught you when you were there. I cringe at the lack of teaching on biblical authority, and the emphasis upon the self.

Respectfully,
James Curtis

My goodness, child! Bless your hear. Some metamucil fiber will help you with your sour disposition. Do come back when you have something to contribute.

BTW, why do you BOIs beat up on Bob Jones University? I haven’t written about Bob Jones University. You BOIs seem to have a Bob-Jones-University-syndrome. I bet metamucil fiber will also help with that!

Don’t attempt to comment again: you are blocked! Cowards who refuse to identify themselves are beyond loathsome. They are often misinformed too – as in your case!

I allowed your comments to stand because they give me the opportunity to once again inform people that SACS has removed the sanctions of which you speak. How much do you want to bet that the matters involving Dr. Crenshaw’s removal will pass muster with SACS? Did you miss the memo from Dr. Norman?

Please, dont forget what the results of the current ARP meddling has been; the issue with accreditation is important, and the problems are continuing:

Hey, Chuck…

While you apparently want to gloat about the firing of good teachers at Erskine, know that most alumni are quite concerned with the directions the ARP has been taking Erskine, as is the state accreditation agency.

you did know that Erskine was on probation for failing to meet quite a few of your own accreditation board standards, like (direct quote from the probation statement):

Erskine College was placed on Warning because the Commission’s Board determined that the institution had failed to demonstrate compliance with Core Requirement 2.2 (Governing Board), Comprehensive Standard 3.2.4 (External Influence), Comprehensive Standard 3.2.6 (Board/administration distinction), and Comprehensive Standard 3.7.4 (Academic Freedom) of the Principles of Accreditation.

These specific standards expect an institution to provide evidence that (1) its board is not controlled by a minority of board members or by organizations or interests separate from it, (2) its board is free from undue influence from political, religious, or other external bodies, and protects the institution from such influence, (3) there is a clear and appropriate distinction, in writing and practice, between the policy-making functions of the governing board and the responsibility of the administration and faculty to administer and implement policy, and (4) the institution ensures adequate procedures for safeguarding and protecting academic freedom.

It seems pretty clear Erskine is no longer free from undue influence from religious bodies.

ARP appears now hell-bent (pun intended) on destroying the reputation and name of Erskine, and making it a laughing stock and useless as an institution of higher learning.

Have you ever heard the expression: Shooting yourself in the foot?

youre destroying the future for your own kids.

good luck with that?

Thank you. I didn’t think it was sinister. I simply didn’t know what it meant.

I’m old. This e-mail/Facebook language is a bit foreign to me. I still write with a fountain pen when I want to compose something of value.
