BJU "Kissing"....
This is so classic for those of us who have been there and done that. Thanks to a quick picture and a lingering couple, we have this image to remind of the sweet days in the student center.
I thought this post may get them in trouble, but I am pretty sure you can't get to this site from the server. If you can...WHAT'S UP BJU?! We love and appreciate the influence the Lord brought into our lives through BJU. If that couple is viewing, "Thanks from the bottom of my heart." Wait...I think I heard the second chime. :)

Just thought I would bring back some memories...
"Our men need to have their hair cut so that the back
is tapered and does not come over the collar or the
ears. Sideburns must not be long, and mustaches
and beards are not permitted."
"Once you drive past the Welcome Center, you’re
entering an exciting, new world. We are known as
“The Opportunity Place . . . God’s Special Place for
You.” It’s evident that the Lord is in this place, and
we want you to feel at home. After all, this will be
your home as you pursue your education here."
"Men will need at least one suit
for Sunday and other special occasions, and several
shirts with collars designed to be worn with ties
since our young men are required to wear ties to
some meals and to morning classes."
To quote the Washington Post from May 5, 2005:
Rules Are Rules
"It's not that there's anything wrong with kissing," says Jonathan Pait, BJU's community relations coordinator. "It's not a sin. It's just that we have a different focus."
Pait is explaining the famous dating rules. The outside world is fascinated by BJU's rules but Pait gets tired of talking about them.
The rules are codified in the student handbook, but the rules forbid giving the handbook to outsiders. "Outsiders don't understand the context of the rules," Pait explains.
The context is BJU's mission, which is to give students a "Christlike character." Anything that interferes with that goal is forbidden. That includes smoking, drinking, dancing, gambling, TVs in dorm rooms, uncensored Internet access and most modern music, including rock, rap, country, jazz -- even Christian music if it has a "sensual" beat. The rules also forbid coming to class in jeans, shorts or skirts that don't cover the knee. No late-night dorm-room bull sessions either; at midnight it's lights out and keep quiet.
