Ron,

I was at WTS during the Shepherd uproar. The "too controversial" phrase should be considered to be an euphemism. No one is removed from a teaching position at WTS for anything less than a very serious matter. Shepherd's teaching was "controversial" to be sure, because it was contrary to the established doctrines upon which WTS and the church were founded, re: Justification by Faith alone.

Why don't you familiarize yourself with Shepherd's Thirty-four Theses on Justification in Relation to Faith, Repentance, and Good Works??

In His Grace,
