JHawk 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2005 Good ol' Bob Jones U, when you want the very best in insane religious education. This part cracked me up tho: Music must be compatible with the University's music standards: New Age, jazz, rock, and country music is not permitted. Contemporary Christian music is not permitted (e.g., Michael W. Smith, Stephen Curtis Chapman, WOW Worship, and so forth). What the fuck else is left? I'm assuming rap/R&B is out, so do you have tap your own music on the walls or what? Actually, I'm not sure rap and R&B would be banned. Rap artists are predominantly black, and you wouldn't want to get nailed with a race discrimination lawsuit. But what's so bad about Michael W. Smith and Stephen Curtis Chapman? For that matter, what did Ambercrombie and Fitch do that was so against Christ aside from overcharging for their clothes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would literally kick you out of school if you dated someone outside your race. They only allow it now if you....wait for it.....HAVE A NOTE FROM YOUR PARENTS SAYING IT IS OKAY TO DATE SOMEONE OF ANOTHER RACE. I am PRETTY sure the same place that threatened to have a student arrested if he didn't leave the campus be cause he was gay is going to worry about a racial discrimination suit. Seeing as they are a private institution they can do whatever they want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am PRETTY sure the same place that threatened to have a student arrested if he didn't leave the campus be cause he was gay is going to worry about a racial discrimination suit. Eh, whatever. Honestly, I don't even like rap music. but right now I'd blast it just because it isn't directly banned if you actually read their guidelines. Anyway, just a couple of things I noticed last night looking at this since I needed a good laugh. Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets are not permitted. Does that include....WAIT FOR IT...gold crosses? Classroom/general dress consists of a dress or top and skirt; however, pants may be worn for some recreational activities. Um...isn't it easier to see certain body parts you probably shouldn't be seeing when you're wearing a skirt as opposed to wearing shorts? And isn't that basically the only difference? OK, so they mean lyou can wear long skirts, but I don't know too many people with a knee fetish. Combat boots, hiking boots, or shoes that give this appearance are not permitted. Hairstyles should be neat, orderly, and feminine. Avoid cutting-edge fads and cuts so short that they take on a masculine look. So much for closet lesbians. Televisions and DVD/videocassette players are not permitted in the residence halls; computer DVD players may not be used to view movies. All weapons must be turned in for storage. Trigger locks are required for pistols. Fireworks are not permitted on campus. Sesame Street is banned, but you can put a pistol into storage as long as the safety is on. Seriously. And people wonder why Christianity gets a bum rap these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2005 Loyalty to Christ results in separated living. Dishonesty, lewdness, sensual behavior, adultery, homosexuality, sexual perversion of any kind, pornography, illegal use of drugs, and drunkenness all are clearly condemned by God's Word and prohibited here. Further, we believe that biblical principles preclude gambling, dancing, and the beverage use of alcohol. I hate this school even more and more. Thanks for posting this link, my friends are going to have a field day laughing at this. No poker games or dancing? Christ, I'd likely go mad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the question is why would ANYone want to go to this school. I know some hardcore Christians, but even they wouldn't touch this school with a ten foot pole. As for the Nazi/Communist argument, well let's just say it's totalitarian school run by an evil Christian dictator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CronoT Report post Posted February 17, 2005 Here's the final kicker. Bob Jones University is not an accredited university.

BUTT 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2005 Banning shit, oppressing certain freedoms, requiring total dedication to the cause, sounds pretty Nazi to me. If it were to be called anything by your description, it'd be a Communist school, which would be on the completely opposite end of Nazism. Really? I know the Nazis considered themselves socialists, which I thought was pretty close to communism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they believe that's God's law then they have the right to teach so. It's not like they force people to attend. Everyone takes things SP says way out of context. He's not saying he believes these things are right, he's defending their rights to believe it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2005 Those kinds of guidelines are what some people want. If they want to set that kind of standard for themselves and wish to be held accountable to it by the university, let them. Notice that they aren't saying it's a sin to watch PG movies, they just like to keep an extremely high standard. Think of them more as monks. I do tire of religious prejudice.

I know the Nazis considered themselves socialists, which I thought was pretty close to communism. Called themselves the National Socialist Worker's Party so as to try and sway people from the very strong Communist party in Germany at the time. I'm tempted to transfer to this college and do a massive heel turn after gaining their confidence, blowing up the gates to the place (yes, the place is walled-in) and leading everyone to the outside world.

Guest sek69 Report post Posted February 18, 2005 How ironic...... Hair must be cut in a traditional, conservative style–not shaved, spiked, tangled, or shelved. It may not be colored or highlighted. Sideburns should not extend past the middle of the ear. Men are expected to remain clean-shaven. You can't go to our college you damned hippy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest sek69 Report post Posted February 18, 2005 And were in the bible does it say Jesus looked like that? I honestly don't know. I'm sure Jesus wasn't the white boy seen in all the artwork, but he sure as hell wasn't sporting the conservative preppy look either. I just find it funny that they want to be so Christlike, but if someone showed up to the campus actually looking like Christ (long hair, beard, sandals) they'd probably call the cops on him.

Guest cosbywasmurdered Report post Posted February 18, 2005 being christlike wouldn't mean trying to look like him, it'd mean following his teachings (or their versions of them) as strictly as possible. But I see/agree with what you're getting at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
