You're a much kinder person than me - or better able to control their laughter.

One of the grad students (UofT School of Theology) in my Scripture in the Christian Tradition hails from BJU (so many jokes to make)... and I gotta admit he has provided me with the most amusement this academic term ~ nothing beats watching him try and score points against the prof. A Prof that happens to be a priest that taught ecumenical theology at the Vatican - and is fluent in Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin (and can quote various translation of scripture in each as well). I think the grad guy was shocked that a Catholic priest could go toe-to-toe quoting scripture... and the works of Calvin, Luther, Wyclif, etc.

If Fr. Donovan was such a nice guy he might actually get offended... but he usually views it as an chance to explore various interpretations (literal/allegorical/theological/spiritual) of what happens to be in question. For an indication of what Fr. Donovan is like check out the link where he discusses the his art collection:

didn't read this whole thread, but got the jist. i was at work on saturday, and there were 3 girls that came in for updos and make up and stuff......going to a Baptist Independant college "function"....couldn't call it a dance b/c they have a 6 inch rule.....meaning that a guy and a girl cannot be closer than 6 inches to each other. her and her b/f had never kissed, held hands or anything, but that he had put his arm around her once, but they didn't tell anyone!!!! :eek: the horror!!! :eek:

how does this prepare anyone for the real world? i mean, the 6 inch thing is one (weird) thing, but actual degree-obtaining classes on understanding your husband.....come on!

Someday, I hope that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster will have a college of its own.

hehe I wonder what the rejection letter is like...

maybe I should fill out a devilish application and see what they send me.

good grief!

I'm guessing they don't have a class called 'Woman the Satisfier'. ;) Maybe I should apply to teach that class - will give new meaning to their missionary degree. :eek:

Bumping to let everyone know they've updated their website and they have the new catalog online. :D

Who's up for a field trip? ;)

OMG, I SAW one of their missionary buses this summer! It was going east on Milwaukee, east of Damen and North. I hope the nice fundie kids enjoyed the Wicker Park freak show!

OHH- I think I saw a girl's ANKLES in one of the pictures.

I'm surprised they allow the "young ladies" to watch men's intramural sports. I would think that the sweaty men might arouse "inappropriate thoughts" in the young ladies.

Dr. Wendell Evans is speaking in Elgin next month. RedRoseSAI, let's go! :D

"We do not fellowship with liberals."
Sounds like they've been talking to some people on GC. :rolleyes:

"The nine million dollar campus..."
My law school cost almost four times that and we have fewer students.

A MAN is teaching the women how to be good wives.

If you are divorced and under 25, bad. Divorced and over 25, okay.

I also like that there is a picture of the chapel on every page.

And how can you get a B.S. degree when you've never taken a science course?

" Men have the opportunity to participate in exciting football, indoor soccer, basketball, and softball leagues."

I guess women are not to participate in sports... No comment. :eek:

This really amuses me. I guess a man would be able to tell a woman how to -- uhhhh, never mind.

Since they're privately funded, then Title 9 doesn't apply.. sadly.

Anything is possible when you make up your own school. I like that a non-student woman married to a student can get a Certificate in Wifery and Motherhood.

HA HA..I can think of 2.
