I have gone to church for the better part of 10 years. I beleive in the ideals in the bible and enjoy the company of others who share similar beliefs as mine.
With that i have to say that many christians that I have meet have been the most judgemental, the most likely to critisise (sp) the most unsupportive of most of my endevorse in life. I would imagine (since i went to a christian college) that BJU is similar to this. I would imagine they as a school have the front of being loving and accepting and wanting to help people be the best christians that they can be. I have not read their web site but from my own expereince i can only guess that the website talks about a loving supporting christiand atmosphere that will help a man (and they probably use the word man) grow in his faith by being a community that provides a place without distraction and the sins of the world.
But in reality its a place of judegement, support only comes when you do things exactly as they interprete and do not allow any interpretations for yourself (i would suggest looking up why the prodestant reformation happened anyway, ie to be able to interpret the bible ourselves) that you have to do things the way that they do them and exactly like they do them otherwise their is something wrong with you and how you have to change to be right.
You might be thinking that i have probably been hurt and have some issue to deal with. I would say yes, i get really tired of people telling me what i am doing wrong and how i am not follwing Gods plan for my life, yet God have never told me that I am doing anything wrong. Hummm??
