We talked about BJ in my "Cults and Sects" class. The religious fundamentalism is just to the extreme. They have regular assemblies, and we saw a video of one where they are explaing the natural relationship between a man and a woman. They have the All-American-Chrisitan couple come up and he tells them to stand next to eachother, and 'It's ok to stand close this one time, I promise" He then proceeds to explain that a good relationship is not when the man and woman are next to eachother, but when he steps behind her to guide and support her.
They also did a segment on the seperate classes. Women still are REQUIRED to take home ec and they learn to dress and have their very own book on BJU's standards.
If you are way hard-core Chrisitan this school is probably great for you. Imagine some of these students going to ...UW Madison, for example. Can we say culture/value shock? The school really keeps in the family as the Jones' still run the place. Still not a place I really think the President of the US needs to be aligning himself with if he really thinks he can ease division in this country.
