This was my former denomination, but the Canadian variety. What I learned in Seminary, is that since the take over in the 1990's, where the ultimate authority was designated as the President of the Convention, not Jesus Christ, and other changes to centralize power in the hands the "clique", things have spiraled downhill.
SB's are busy. They are obsessively busy. They have poor doctrine of soteriology, again, a change from the past. (Asking Jesus into your heart, makes you saved! NOT!) Money is supreme. Men are somehow much better than women. In the SWTS, women are not allowed in the same classes as men for important subjects like theology and preaching. But women can get a degree in house keeping. Not sure why they can't learn theology, even if only to teach other women and children.
But most of all, the denomination is shrinking. Because the gospel has been watered down to a point of not being able to find the truth at all. Of course, some of that loss has been people moving to even more doctrinally deficit churches, including the Word Faith branches.
I had a wonderful experience at Seminary. The professors were men and women who gave up everything to serve God. They were willing to discuss difficult issues from all perspectives. We were discipled and learned how to disciple. We studied theology and that is where I became very Orthodox and freed from my Pentecostal heresies, that I found out were not the traditional church beliefs in history and not Biblical. I studied eschatology in Greek and Hebrew, and came up with some very firm beliefs as to what is NOT going to happen in the end, and what the Bible actually says.
I learned how to be a witness to Christ, and how to lead people to know Christ, but more important, to follow him all the days of their lives.
But sadly, this recorded presentation seems so true from what I have seen. Thanks for posting.
