After blanket training those rules should be easy to follow.

Oh yeah, blanket training is one of the most hosed-up things in evangelicalism. See, if you're one of those families that focus on having as many children as possible, you may not be able to supervise your kids all the time, and you probably also believe that children should learn to obey their elders without question. So if you put you baby on a blanket and swat her with an implement (a wooden spoon, thin plastic tubing, or a willowy branch) whenever she tries to leave the blanket, she'll come to associate leaving the blanket with pain and will stay put for hours. Now you can leave your baby alone so you can focus on "training" her numerous siblings.

You know what's awesome, when your psycho religious homeschooling control issues mother in law is told by her face that she was a complete failure as a mother and educator and now all 4 of her kids are into various levels of substance use/abuse, absolutely love sex out of wedlock and their religious affiliations span from agnostic to maltheist.

Oh and half of them eat a poo poo ton of meat.

Gg crazy Adventist mother in law, your entire life is a failure.

Do you guys remember why seeing a side boob or holding a girls hand was so exciting and thrilling when you were 13, but now all of the drugs and filthy perverted porn and date raping some addict at a party can barely make your numb and infected penis twitch?


Living a highly structured and disciplined life with a strict ethical code produces far more enjoyment when you push the limits than does trying to live without limits

You may not put up a picture of unmarried people in physical contact unless they are of little kids (no age given at which time a “little kid” is no longer a “little kid”) (these are sold in the bookstore).

Client:

drinking and premarital sex happend all the time
and the school asked me about my drug and alcohol use

both of which i answered trutfully
premarital sex was never mentioned
but still it was on the student handbook
and i did not read it

the thing is that it happaned in my clas s too
a lot

unfortunately, my landlady was a conservative christian

and she went to the school

after that, the school moved me to the dorm

quote:

Me:
okay, here's a very important question
are you still [RELIGION?]

Client:
yes I feel that im [RELIGION]
there are things that I follow

Me:
and things that you don't, right.

Client:
but even before I was baptized, I see the premarital sex in those that introduced me to [RELIGION]
maybe I had the wrong idea
but I still follow many of the rules
Ive asked one person that introduce me to [RELIGION]
he has various girlfriends and he told me as long as you love God
I guess I have a weakness with women
I think many men do

Students are expected to attend all Sunday morning activities of a local
fundamental church ...The regional church list, which is available on the intranet at home.bju.edu/life/
regionalchurches.pdf, lists a number of fundamental churches that students may
attend.

On and off campus, physical contact between unmarried men and women is
not allowed....

Students may be together in any well-lit outside location on front campus until
10:20 p.m. Monday through Saturday and until 5 p.m. on Sunday. (The Den is
also open from 7–10 p.m. on Sunday.) Front campus is marked by the shaded area
on the adjacent map—in front of the Student Center and the Alumni Building,
behind the Alumni Building to the gazebo, down West Drive to the front of the
Davis Field House, the tennis courts and Collegiate Drive in front of the women’s
residence halls. Couples or mixed groups are not to socialize inside the parking
garage.

Men and women students should guard their testimonies; they are not to be alone
together in a classroom, rehearsal studio or other room.

Residence hall students may not be alone with a member of the opposite sex off campus.

Students are to avoid any types of
entertainment that could be considered immodest or that contain profanity,
scatological realism, sexual perversion, erotic realism, lurid violence, occultism
and false philosophical or religious assumptions.

The following music conflicts with our mission and is therefore excluded
from performance, personal listening on and off campus, or use in student
organizations, societies, student productions, outreach ministries or social media:
•
Any music which, in whole or in part, derives from the following broadly
defined genres or their subgenres: Rock, Pop, Country, Jazz, Electronic/Techno,
Rap/Hip Hop or the fusion of any of these genres.
•
Any music in which Christian lyrics or biblical texts are set to music which is,
in whole or in part, derived from any of these genres or their subgenres

In a related area, because of the sensual nature of many of its forms, dancing is
not permitted.

Students are not to watch movies on campus. In homes students may view G-rated
movies and movie trailers. In a faculty/staff home students may view certain PG
movies when the faculty or staff member watches with students and objectionable
elements are discussed. Guidelines are in place to help faculty make choices.
Unrated movies frequently contain objectionable content that has not been cut to
meet rating standards and are not appropriate. Students are not to attend a movie
of any rating in a public theater during a semester or summer school session in
which they are enrolled. This includes when away from campus overnight and
the weekends preceding summer school sessions. In addition, students are to
avoid displaying on campus any screen savers, buttons or other objects promoting
movies rated PG-13 or above.

Televisions in residence hall rooms may be used as game consoles or computer
monitors only. Students are not to watch television shows, movies, movie trailers
or sports broadcasts on their cellphones or computers. In homes students may
view appropriate television programming with a rating up to TV-PG.

Students are not to play video games rated above E10 or games that contain
graphic blood or gore, sensual or demonic themes, violent first-person shooting,
suggestive dress, bad language or rock music.

BJU uses a content filtering system in
order to restrict access to biblically offensive material on the Internet...Because certain websites often contain extensive sensuality, students are not to
view celebrity websites, secular music lyric sites and humor/joke sites. Occasionally,
an on-campus user inadvertently may get to an objectionable site which the filter
has not caught. Do not assume that if a site is accessible or gets through the filter,
it is OK. Note the web address and report it immediately to filteradmin@bju.edu.

Women’s Dress Code
General Requirements
•
Clothing should be modest. Clothing that is revealing either because of fabric,
cut or tightness is unacceptable.
•
Clothing should be loose enough to conceal undergarment lines and not to
draw attention to the figure.
•
Skirts and dresses, as well as slits in skirts and dresses, are to come to the knee
whether standing or walking. (Please also keep modesty in mind when sitting.)
•
Necklines should be no lower than four fingers’ width below the collarbone. No
cleavage should be visible.
•
The back of any article of clothing should not be lower than a normal bra band.
•
Midriffs are to be covered at all times.
•
Halter tops or sleeveless or strapless tops and dresses are appropriate student
attire only when covered by a jacket or open blouse.
•
Shorts may be worn in the residence halls; for day students, shorts are not
appropriate away from home.
(For exceptions, see Recreational/Work Attire, Page 32.)
•
Spandex pants and flannel pants (sleepwear) may be worn inside the residence
halls; for day students, they are not appropriate away from home.
•
Terry cloth and velour pants may be worn around the women’s residence halls
and inside the women’s fitness areas.

Abercrombie & Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of antagonism to biblical morality. Therefore, BJU asks its students not to patronize these stores, wear their clothing or display articles containing their names or logos. BJU also encourages students to avoid other labels that glorify the lustful spirit of our age in their advertising.

Lights out is at midnight, at which time students are to be in their own beds and
quiet with all lights in the room turned off. This precludes talking, studying,
texting and eating between midnight and 5 a.m.
Between 11:30 p.m. and 5 a.m. students are to be in their rooms unless working
on a university work crew. The following half-hour (from 11:30 p.m. until
midnight) is intended for quiet study or fellowship with roommates and to
enable those who need to go to bed early to do so. On Friday and Saturday
evenings, students may visit in each other’s rooms within their residence hall
until midnight

Human sexuality is part of God’s divine design for human beings (Gen. 1:28).
However, the Bible restricts all forms of consensual sexual activity to within the
boundaries of the marriage relationship (1 Cor. 7:1–5; Heb. 13:4). The Bible clearly
prohibits not only non-consensual sexual misconduct (Deut. 22:25–27) but also
any consensual sexual activity outside the boundaries of heterosexual marriage
(1 Thess. 4:1–8). Furthermore the Bible specifically names as sinful and prohibits
any form of sexual activity between persons of the same sex (Rom. 1:26–27; 1 Cor.
6:9–10; 1 Tim. 1:10), polygamy (Matt. 19:4–6; 1 Cor. 7:11), incest
(Lev. 18:6–18; 1 Cor. 5:1), bestiality (Exod. 22:19; Lev. 18:23; 20:15–16; Deut. 27:21;
Gal. 5:19; Eph. 5:3; Col. 3:5), adultery (Exod. 20:14; Mark 10:19; Luke 18:20;
James 2:11), and fornication of any sort including pornography (

God created man and woman in His image as two distinct but equal genders which
He intends to use for His glory (Gen. 1:26–27). Furthermore, individual gender
is assigned by God and determined at conception (Ps. 139:13–16). Therefore we
believe that to intentionally alter or change one’s physical gender or to live as a
gender other than the one assigned at conception is to reject God’s right as Creator
to assign gender to His creatures and is a personal rejection of His plan to glorify
Himself through the original gender He assigned that individual

Because the positions set forth in this statement are grounded in the biblical,
moral and ethical commands clearly taught and demanded by Scripture, BJU
expects all employees and students enrolled at BJU to agree with and abide by this
statement on marriage, human sexuality and gender identity.

While it can be beneficial to be culturally literate, every Christian should self-
censor his entertainment choices. Below are common categories of elements that
are biblically objectionable and should be censored:
•
Profanity
•
Scatological realism—pertaining to excretory functions
•
Sexual perversion—adultery, fornication, homosexuality
•
Erotic realism—explicit descriptions of sexual acts
•
Lurid violence
•
Occultism
•
False philosophical or religious assumptions—the most dangerous, yet the
most overlooked, of all objectionable element

When evaluating an entertainment choice, Christians should ask themselves the
following questions:
•
Are the characters noble?
•
Do the actions of the story cause the characters to desire virtue and reject vice?
•
Does the story’s resolution reward good and punish evil or honor wisdom and
scorn foolishness?
•
Does the theme of the story conflict with God’s truth? If it does, how? Where is
the flaw?
