I don’t suppose Mr. lain ever bothered to check and see any BJU (BJU: Looks like BlowJob University to my twisted mind…) alumni are line dancers…? 'Cause I know two who are. I wonder what BJU thinks about their former student…? . ---

Line dancing is an incitement to lust? Line dancing seems to be more of an incitement to laughter and mockery than it is to lust. [sub]Well, It least now I know that Bob Jones U. entertains the world. I always felt guilty that we were selfishly hoarding the best comedy for ourselves.[/sub] ---

Beagledave: God most certainly did not appoint him. He appointed himself head of his own religion. as an example of his own bigotry and sectarianism, let me present this [http://www.users.bigpond.com/farel/wfs3hp.html](http://www.users.bigpond.com/farel/wfs3hp.html) I am in no way supportive of the messages within this page. It is purely informative of the type of person Rev. Iain Paisley is. ---

:pictures Esprix in Cowboy hat: and has very scary flashbacks to the Village People the **first** time around. 😉 (it’s bad enough that ‘Lady Marmalade’ has been revived; if anyone exhumes any Donna Summer songs, I’m gonna puke) ---

Incitement to lust? Ian’s simply jealous; most of the Irish I know are party animals. They’re the ones ya gotta’ watch out for. ---

It was flat-out banned until a couple years ago and only then because of public outcry. Actually, I meant “more accurately.” I did leave out “currently” after “BJU.” Think about it: [ul] [li]BJU demands students obey their parents.[/li][li]BJU says the students can date interracially if the parents consent.[/li][li]The parents are more likely than not, IMHO, as bigoted as BJU’s founder.[/li][li]What’s the likelihood that the consent is forthcoming?[/ul][/li] Essentially, the current policy is no change whatsoever. And the media fell for it. ---
