[pstokely]

[paul_fromatlanta]

1. Demonstrations, Petitions and Picketing

Demonstrations, Petitions and Picketing


Student participation in on-campus demonstrations, petitions or picketing is prohibited unless approved by Liberty University administration. The administration may also prohibit or restrict student participation in demonstrations, petitions or picketing at places other than on campus, where such participation would contradict or otherwise compromise the principles and policies of Liberty University.

[Ken Burch]

6. Gee...

Liberty University reserves the right to deprive its students of the right to free speech while OFF CAMPUS??????

ooooohhhhhkkkkkkk.....

(suppose this rule is ever applied to LU students taking part in anti-abortion or anti-gay demonstrations?)

[jakefrep]

77. Never mind that they lied to CBS about winning...

the National Debate Tournament. Liberty didn't even make the final 32.

http://www.wfu.edu/organizations/NDT/Photos/2006NDT/Bracket2006.htm

[Endangered Specie]

89. apparently Nuremburg rallies are always acceptable...

Demonstrations, Petitions and Picketing


Student participation in on-campus demonstrations, petitions or picketing is prohibited unless approved by Liberty University administration or the main guest speaker will be addressing the crowd in highly sensational German. The administration may also prohibit or restrict student participation in demonstrations, petitions or picketing at places other than on campus, where such participation would contradict or otherwise compromise the principles and policies of Liberty University.

[republicansarewhores]

92. These guys really have a great sense of humor huh?

Calling the school "Liberty" University when their policies extoll anything but?

:puke:

RAW

[YDogg]

2. Respect While Dating / Social Behavior

"After dusk, students should not be alone with an individual of the opposite sex in any unlighted area such as the ball fields, parking lots, parked cars, ravine or other wooded areas, etc. This is considered improper social behavior."

Stay out them ravines, boys!

[seabeyond]

5. but before dusk you can be cause we all know no sex before

dusk...... bah hahahahah wtf

[A HERETIC I AM]

34. :::Slaps self on forehead::: PARKED CARS?!? WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT?

Sounds more like they are telling them where to go to get it on, doesnt it?

[TheCowsCameHome]

38. Difficult to get in on in daddy's BMW M3 or mom's Benz coupe, eh?

These are children on privilege, no?

[Kailassa]

66. OK, no ravines ... but what if it's just a deep crack?

[LostinVA]

68. How the heck many ravines are there in Lynchburg anyway?

Especially around Liberty Baptist? It's in the middle of town, right off 29.

[Kailassa]

79. I guess that crack was too deep ...

:evilfrown:

[LostinVA]

95. hahahahhaha

[panader0]

3. Humorous, especially the "agents of evil" part.

[YouthInAsia]

19. ohhh, I missed that one, Where was that?

[YouthInAsia]

4. my fav was.....

"Hair and clothing styles related to counterculture (as determined by the Deans’ Review Committee) are not acceptable."

[C_U_L8R]

7. No Speedos allowed in the pool

Don't want to tempt Jerry

[yurbud]

37. nudist pool? that's very progessive!

[TallahasseeGrannie]

8. Like a time travel trip to the 50's

but then again, it's a private school and you don't have to go there.

I have to admit I'm old enough to have found some level of comfort in the dress code, considering I had to send a middle school girl home this week because her pubes were showing above her belt line. It gets tiresome.

[YouthInAsia]

21. if your pubes are showing above your belt line (no matter how low

the jeans ride) you have a shaving issue that needs to be investigated immediately

[TallahasseeGrannie]

24. Yeah but middle school girls

don't always have a grip on the whole hygeine thing, you know?

[YouthInAsia]

25. True. But you'd think you'd kinda, maybe, NOTICE that

whole PUBE EXPOSURE before leaving for school. Or at least at SOME POINT during the day. Call me crazy.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

28. You'd think, wouldn't you?

But then half of them have their cracks showing, too.

[YouthInAsia]

31. well, they think (somehow) that thats sexy. I dont

EVER need to see some 12 year old girls butt crack. EVER.

[TheCowsCameHome]

32. If they flunk out they could go to trade school and become plumbers

Showing butt crack could be a positive thing after all.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

35. I think they are basically clueless, most of them

They buy the styles because they see them on MTV, and they grow six inches a year and gain 20 pounds, and they don't even notice.

[YouthInAsia]

36. LOL!

[LostinVA]

69. Not really... some of those low rise jeans are VERY low rise

Not a shaving issue at all -- a common sense issue.

[SmokingJacket]

80. How do they even stay up? Friction?

They look freakishly uncomfortable...

[LostinVA]

94. I've wondered that, too....

[YouthInAsia]

9. they randomly drug test their "students" (cult members)? is that

even LEGAL? that place must be a bucket of fun. talk about being watched every second of the day. when was it established, 1984?

[YouthInAsia]

10. Handholding is the only appropriate form of physical conduct"

WOW, ESCITING! And soooo risque! Here's the whole paragraph:

"All students are asked to display mature Christian behavior in social interaction. Proper respect must be shown to all individuals at all times. Harassment of any type will not be tolerated. Handholding is the only appropriate form of personal contact. Improper personal contact or other forms of public display are considered in poor taste. After dusk, students should not be alone with an individual of the opposite sex in any unlighted area such as the ball fields, parking lots, parked cars, ravine or other wooded areas, etc. This is considered improper social behavior. "

[Phx_Dem]

15. boy it really is brainwashing!

Soooo, I wonder if two people of the SAME sex can hang out after dark? Hmmmmmm

[YouthInAsia]

17. i wonder if its ok for these "mega religious" types to hang out

with "young children." I mean, there's no history THERE, right?

[TheCowsCameHome]

20. That's good! At last, an end to breeding conservatives

Thanks, Jerry. You finally did something right.

[TahitiNut]

22. So, they condone premarital interdigitation?

Scandalous. :eyes:

[YouthInAsia]

23. HAHAHAHA!

[Buns_of_Fire]

73. It's worse than that -- LU offers a BA in Theatre Arts

You know what that means, don't you?

Yep.

Thespians! In public!

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

[TahitiNut]

85. They got flaming thespianism goin' on there? I'm shocked!

:dunce: I wonder if they practice pedantry.

[Missy Vixen]

43. Where there's a will, there's a way

>After dusk, students should not be alone with an individual of the opposite sex in any unlighted area such as the ball fields, parking lots, parked cars, ravine or other wooded areas, etc. This is considered improper social behavior. "<

I went to a Bible college whose rules are still every bit as restrictive as Liberty's. I'm sure there are places on that campus that the administration have no idea about, but the students know where they are. Of course, I'd also like to offer the disclaimer that I was one of the few that didn't break the rules in this area. (I was too busy helping my rulebreaking roommate Kim, who's now a pastor's wife, sneak back into the dorm after lights out...) :evilgrin:

Julie

[YouthInAsia]

48. you.....are going straight to hell. LOL!

[Missy Vixen]

51. There's a pitchfork with my name on it!

Our dentist is a laugh and a half. I lie in his chair and laugh till I cry. One of his conversational gambits goes like this: "Julie, my mother can't believe I'm not having kids. She thinks it's a sin. I'm probably going to hell." (I'm laughing and trying not to choke.) He rolls his eyes heavenwards: "At least my friends will be there, too."

Julie

[YouthInAsia]

58. Yup, I have my hellbound ticket ready to go. I keep

telling my friends that I'll be waiting for them when they arrive. And bring plenty of pot with you when you come. HAHAHA.

A lady told me the other day at the grovery store that I was going to hell for "destroying gods temple" with my tattoos. I asked her if she was going to be there, she gasped and declared "OF COURSE NOT!" So I said "good, you'd ruin the good time I plan on having when I arrive." I hate these ppl. }(

[Kailassa]

83. So you're living in god's temple? Doesn't that make you god?

Or are you just sharing it with her?

[yurbud]

11. "If you have an erection, apply ice, see the school nurse, and pray"

[TallahasseeGrannie]

26. And if it lasts longer than four hours

call a doctor.

[TheCowsCameHome]

27. Or call Dr. Falwell for a personal hands-on evaluation.

[sakabatou]

52. AUGH!

:puke: Bad images! BAD IMAGES!

[Kailassa]

72. But what if it was seeing the school nurse that caused it?

[yurbud]

12. "students may not touch their genitals after defecating or urinating..."

Genitals may only be washed by an approved staff member.

[yurbud]

13. "No student may attend a lynching on Sunday until after chapel services"

[Endangered Specie]

87. They don't call it LYNCHburg for nothing!

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Are there on-site blacksmiths to make chastity belts?

[Phx_Dem]

16. Good one! nt

[YouthInAsia]

18. "Anyone caught observing a member of the opposite sex in

a way deemed 'inappropriate' by the Dean will have their eyes physically cut from their head. Afterwards, the entire school will gather to pray for the offenders soul."

WOW!!! Thats pretty extreme!

[Rocknrule]

29. All males must be castrated and all females must wear chastity belts

Any student must be supervised while using the lavatories and whils sleeping to endure that they do not engage in inapproapriate self-gratification

[in_cog_ni_to]

30. 'Uncovering the truth about modesty' YIKES! They really are wacko

nut jobs. Unbelievable. Why would any kid want to go there? They'd have to be brainwashed!

http://www.lastdaysministries.org/articles/uncoveringthetruthaboutmodesty.html

[yurbud]

39. If you liked that, you'll love this "beach burkha" website (LINK)

http://www.wholesomewear.com/page-4.html

[in_cog_ni_to]

40. HOLY CRAP! They really are living in the dark ages.

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I wonder if they wear those in PUBLIC at REAL beaches? Surely not.:rofl: They look so HOT (asin sweating *hot* ;))! I think I'd rather just stay home in the air conditioning if I was forced to wear that.

Geeeeeeeezus. What a life.

[YDogg]

42. Now that's frightening!

[RB TexLa]

47. Really begs the question

Why would they have "the slimming swimmer" featuring "The color lines of this suit help give a slender look."

[TheCowsCameHome]

33. I suppose at Liberty oral sex is defined as talking about "doing it"

[spanone]

41. I wouldn't sentence my child to this hell-hole.

I would encourage them to go ANYWHERE else.

[TheCowsCameHome]

45. Oh, relax. They roll up the razor wire on parent's weekend.

It's not all just fun and games at Liberty U.

[jmowreader]

44. The piercing regulations are good too

Males: no piercings of any kind, body piercing specifically addressed
Females: earlobe piercings permitted, other "facial" piercings to include tongue not permitted

Since body piercing is specifically disallowed for males but not mentioned for females, it's very obvious to me that all you Liberty-bound ladies need to stop by the local tattoo parlor and get your hood done. If nothing else, this will make Falwell's interminable church services bearable...

[YouthInAsia]

49. i wonder, do they make you strip before youre accepted

so they can check for nipple piercings and other 'areas" that may be so adorned?

[sbj405]

46. Oh the hypocrisy

So violence if you're playing soldier is ok. :eyes:



Video Games
The playing of video games that are “A” and “RP” -rated is not permitted, and is a reprimandable offense. The playing of “EC”, “E”, and “T”-rated games are permitted but should be played with discretion. Any “M” -rated games with descriptors indicating any sexual content, alcohol/drug content, or strong language are not permitted, and is a reprimandable offense. “M” -rated games depicting violence will be at the discretion of Resident Directors. Liberty University refers to the Bible for all moral standards.

NOTE: Many games portray realistic military operations and while they contain violence descriptors, they do not contain any reference to sexual themes, drug/alcohol use, and/or strong language. Games that contain criminal violence not suitable for playing on campus are often paired with descriptors such as strong sexual themes, strong language, drug use, etc.

[YouthInAsia]

50. "reprimandable offense." Shit, I wonder what THAT

entails. probably torture or something.

[Missy Vixen]

53. At my former school, it's the Spiritual Life Committee

>probably torture or something.<

Nawww. It's just a kangaroo court of mucho administrators, professors, and those of your peers who probably have a stick jammed in a really, really painful area of the body. At that time, it was mostly a formality -- the school needed funds so badly that they wouldn't kick anyone out unless the transgression was truly egregious, like getting caught doing the deed behind the athletic building. I was lucky enough to escape the tribunal (despite skipping Chapel on more than one occasion,) but the aforementioned former roommate Kim didn't fare as well as I did. I have no idea to this day what her punishment was.

The dean of women used to see me in the hallway or on campus and intone in her sickeningly sweet way, "Julie, we're prayyyyinnnnnggggg for youuuuuuuu."

Julie

[YouthInAsia]

54. Thats so funny., I had this religion class in college that I was

forced to take (needed a theology credit) and the professor was a WACK_JOB. A total religious nutcase. Anyway, for the final paper we had to write about whether or not god exists. I argued NO. It was a good paper too! He gave me an A but at the end of it he wrote (in red pen) that he was "going to pray for me and my family." YES!!! I showed that paper to everyone I knew and they all laughed just as hard as I did.

This guy used to say to us "I know what you guys do on the weekends. You're all smoking pot, snorting coke and having sex. You're all sinners." My friend raised her hand and said "Who sorts coke?" HAHAHAHA. He hated the the three of us (of course in the back of the room)

Amanda

[ThatsMyBarack]

55. "Liberty?"

Why would they call it that?? :shrug:

[pstokely]

57. Something about Jesus making people free.

[Kailassa]

91. Free to think, or free of thinking?

It's tragedy the way "christians" I know who used to have high IQs are now afraid to even think about evolution, or about how to interpret the bible.
They believe that if they use their own brains they may get "wrong thoughts" and start questioning their beliefs and go to hell.

I'm not saying this as a general observation of christians, just of the type of "christianity" three brothers and some aquaintances have got sucked into.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

56. "Liberty", hey?

The Orwellianism is mindblowing..

[Brigid]

59. Campus Police

I want to go down there and get a job with the campus police. That would be a hoot! :hippie:

[YouthInAsia]

60. That would be a hoot. Can you imgaine that crap they'd call

you for? You'd probably have to pass some strident religious test in order to work there.

Welcome to Du, by the way!

:toast:

[Brigid]

71. I Could Do It

As a former fundie, I know the lingo. I could pass. :D

[YouthInAsia]

74. what made ya see the light? eom

[Brigid]

76. Seeing the Light

I just got tired of the narrow, unloving, intolerant, cookie-cutter mentality. When you find yourself in a situation where you and everybody you know can practically finish each other's sentences because they all think the same, it's time for some new friends. It just got too constricting for me.

[Scooter24]

61. The good and bad of men's styles...

at Liberty U.-

The good:


The bad:

[LostinVA]

70. WTF is the guy in the shorts bad??? NO collar on the shirt or something?

[Endangered Specie]

90. Perhaps they consider "England" to be an inappropriate logo...

perhaps someting like "Das Großdeutsche Reich" would be better? :shrug:


edit:
"Tausendjähriges Reich" Also acceptable.

[LostinVA]

93. giggle

[jmowreader]

96. It's the shorts. They're specifically mentioned.

No shorts except at gym class.

We can probably all think of one person we'd like to send to Liberty, and I volunteer Dave Villwock's son. Why, I'd love to get together the cash to endow a Dave Villwock Chair of something--any marine discipline would be good, and since this college is in a coastal state they probably have something related to the ocean. An engineering chair would be better, but as a liberal arts institution they don't have that.

Dave Villwock was the last man to drive Miss Budweiser before Anheuser-Busch went on an austerity kick and took their name off the boat. Falwell would shit.

[Ilsa]

62. No attendance at R , NC-17, or X rated movies off campus.nt

[Ilsa]

63. $30 to replace a lost Liberty One ID / Mastercard that they must carry

at all times. If you choose to use it, they can track your purchases, so don't use it to tip the strippers.

"Papers please."

[Rocknrule]

64. Ladies and gentlemen, the real-life "Sunlight Home"

For those of you who have read "The Talisman" by Stephen King, you'll know what I'm referring to

[Ilsa]

65. Abortion gets the same reprimand as sexual assault.

They have financial fines for reprimands.

What an awful place to have to go to college. I bet inmates have more fun in prison.

So much for going into the world to learn and minister to others.

[Brigid]

78. Learning

I wonder if you actually learn anything there besides how to parrot the fundamentalist party line?

[Ilsa]

86. Carbon copies of daddy, all the way up to the moussed,

blow-dryed dark hair and the tire around the middle from adding too much gravy.

[leftchick]

67. my BIL graduated from there

:puke:

[delete_bush]

75. I guess this guy would not be welcome...

"Hair should be cut in such a way that it will not come over the ears, collar or eyebrows at any time."

"Facial hair should be neatly trimmed".

"Collared or polo shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts"

[Kailassa]

81. "No counter-culture at this college, thankyou."

"We feel a gentleman like you would be more at home in San Fancisco, with all those hippies, homos and humanists."

[Brigid]

82. Counterculture

They forget that Jesus is about as counterculture as they come. Check out Matthew 23 for further details.

[peacebird]

84. apparently a number of kids go to Liberty for the less expensive degree

and pretty much roll their eyes/ignore this crap.... and think Falwell is a joke!

my son is in college (not Liberty) and goes there for some games, talks to the kids there.

Like these rules will have sway over the hormones of your average late teen?

[Endangered Specie]

88. Oh come on...

you can't tell me these two weren't fucking later that night!

:evilgrin:

(http://www.liberty.edu/studentaffairs/index.cfm?PID=1340)

[ChairmanAgnostic]

97. off campus living?

NOTE: University personnel may periodically visit the private residence of off campus students to assist in resolving off campus problems and to ensure compliance to University regulations.


Spying on the students? gotta love it.
