Toby Weaver passed away of complications from a brain tumor on Tuesday evening. I believe he was a sincere servant. Loved him.

I truly hate to hear that, I loved him.

Within the last week, I have seen where Toby Weaver and Pete Cowling have had hospital stays. While I am unsure of the nature of the treatments they have received, I wish them well. I always like Bro. Weaver, who I believe is 79 now. I really didn't know Dr. Cowling and never had a class with him.

Looks to me like you were a sincere student who was trying hard.

I just saw that you can still have one in fine condition - eBay, for $22. 😆

Yep, that's the one. I think I have one stored somewhere. You're right about the photos inside. Hyles, Auclair, Vinyard, Helton, Anderson...they are all dead now. It as a blue cover. Those days!

I have so very little of ANYTHING from fifty years ago. I guess I consider that both a blessing and a curse. I did have some letter that my mother wrote me while at HAC (back in the dark ages of letter writing :)) and would love to read them again, but they were destroyed in a flood years ago...

I did not know him as a teen, but I figured he was looked upon favorably by the establishment, giving him a faculty position which he held a half dozen years or so. It seemed afterwards, he faded into relative oblivion.

You know, Sherry, if we or anyone who attended with us in those days, were paying attention, we learned to keep our eyes on our all faithful God, and He alone, as the author and finisher of our faith. Our dependence on human flesh will fail us every time. Great is the LORD and greatly to be...

I did not know them. It is most sad and tragic. I am grateful to God that He is the divine arbiter of all deeds and will judge accordingly in His great wisdom.

I hope I'm not being inappropriate, but how did they pass away?

He was capable and dynamic. Without question JH intended for DH to succeed him one day as pastor. Then we all learned in due time that DH had a bunch of moral problems that disqualified him from the ministry. It is a tragedy that repeats itself many times over in church lore.

That is a fact. However, I wondered about what Toby said about more people leaving FBC over DH than the Nischick issues, because DH's issues did not come to light until after he had been gone from the church for several years. I concede that there is much evidence that his problems took root in...

Why do you believe that? I mean DH had been gone from the church more than a half dozen years.

I have actually know a few people in my life that in a progressive manner began to confuse the reality of their lives with fantasy. They began to TRULY believe things that were obviously untrue about themselves. It leads to a bad end. I can't say that I KNEW Jack Hyles. I'm not sure than many...

You had to have been there in that time. I remember his "bodyguards" waiting on him to come out of his office on the way to the pulpit and how they walked with him that fifty feet in the alley that connected the office wing to the auditorium. We thought he needed protection like the president...

For all the chatter about "discipline" at HAC, I really don't know many people who got expelled when I was there decades ago. There were a couple over doctrinal stuff in 76-77. I can remember one girl and guy that got expelled (allegedly) for being too intimate in about 1980. But that's about...
