Bob Jones University made me hate Christianity. I was more miserable there then I have ever been. It really gets to you when you are incapable of being as perfect as they demand. And they are definately not shy about telling you how awful you are if you break even slight rules.

I never graduated. And being expelled from there was the best thing that ever happened to me. They intimidated one of my (former)good friends into giving three pages of details of all the "terrible" things that I had ever done.

One of the things they encourage blatently is turning other people in. They like to purify whenever they can.

The faculty are wonderful. The administration is predatory and the student body is structered in such a way that if you follow every rule you are put in charge of other students. These "spiritual leaders" are arrogant and self rightous. They make you want to renounce Christianity if God is like what these people are. My "spiritual leader" prayer captian stuck her toungue out at me as I was being escorted of campus after being expelled. And this is not just some random girl. She was practically a celebrity on campus because her dad T. Farrell is a big time evangelist. According to BJ she was very spiritual.

My Hall leader thought she was my mother and would come to tuck us in every night.

I was told that girls who wear thongs are sluts.

I could go on and on about how this place turns people into robots who are scared of any kind of authority. But they wont tell you this. They decry conformity themselves and call it

training you up to be like Christ

I felt trapped and still do. It took me a year to convince my present public university to accept even a few of my credits. And I still shake and get sick to my stomach anytime someone mentions the place. I used to be an active Church member and now you cant force me to set foot in a church.
