Any Monterey Bay Academy Alumni Present?

Adventism? I guess most people will use whatever they can to sooth their
conscience, but of course, this does happen everywhere, especially in the
catholic church. Right? Anyway, these people do not represent the SDA
truth, but just the apostate new theology liberals/jesuits/ecumenicals that
have taken over the structure.
I actually applied at that school for the music position about ten years
ago. But when I met the principle and saw what the atmosphere was like I had
no desire to teach there. It doesn't even use the name SDA on the school
(unless it has changed lately). It does not represent even liberal
Adventism very well.

I am working on a story about the recent sex abuse scandel at MBA.
Would like to talk with anyone alumni who knew Lowell Nelson and Ron
Wittlake. I am a former student myself (class of 86). Or anyone who
would like to talk Adventism.
Thanks very much,
Bruce Willey
