This is the last of four posts about Bob Jones University. This post is easily the most difficult topic and i have held off posting it for quite some time.

The first post focussed on a few of the good aspects of the school. The second post focused on two of the bad aspects of the school.

The final post (Part 3) will look at the more truly harmful things about the university. Of the two aspects I want to focus on in this […]

I’m going to divide the post up into three separate posts emphasizing a different aspect in each post: The Good (I experienced some good things in my 4 years at BJU) The Bad – the ins and outs of what fundamentalists call separation The Very Ugly – the harmful and destructive aspects and deeds of Bob Jones University I’m coming out of the closet.
