I totally agree w/ the Abercrombie & B....they're way out of line and their catalogs have been bordering on pornography for a long time..but I think they are wayyy overboard on their dress code, just my opinion.
there you have it.
bju teaches that the pope is the antichrist, the RC church is the great whore... and an employee of LC actually attends mass at one of those 'mystery babylon' churches!!!
no more liz claiborne for me!

Most religions stress chastity and modesty in women. I suspect this has to do with traditions regarding women as property and to keep bloodlines straight.
My guess would be that the Bob Jones thing is based mostly on a reaction to pop culture and current trends that are viewed as polar opposites of the image they want to portray.
Good Bob. I think you parsed that right.
See how a little diplomacy goes a long way around here.
I will pass on the message that you are no longer dressing out in Liz Claibourne stuff (Although you probably wouldn't have any problem with that crotch rise problem, right?!) (ROTFLMAO).
Sure, and we can point and laugh at them, whether you like it or not.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Sir, that was the best laugh I've had all day!
How would you know? Have you been there? Anyway, why would someone LAUGH at another wearing modest clothing? A gentleman wearing a shirt and a tie or a lady wearing a skirt to her knees with no midriff or breast showing? Assuming you have children, do you allow your daughter to wear booty shorts and low cut tops so that others can oogle her? Do you allow your son to wear t shirts proclaming his love for drugs?
In my opinion, you are way out of line and need to actually think about what you are typing instead of tossing out crackpot statements just for attention.
No, but the rationale for the dress code is the same.
The fact is A&F has been pro-homosexual and anti-Christian for a while.
What has A & F done that is pro-homo and anti-Christian? Give me specifics. BTW, are students at BJU allowed to listen to Rush? I ask because Rush has been divorced two or three times and that seems pretty anti-Christian to me.
Let me phrase it differently. People get to wear what they want. However, what they don't get to do is tell others what to wear.
Depends on how you interpret "Christianity". Unless, of course, you are one of those "one true church, one way" sort of folks. You're not are you?
Bob jones is a Bible College, they take their instructions from the Bible, what a concept, they actually BELIEVE in the scriptures.... to better understand them see 1 John 2 15-16 and Romans 12-2 I could give countless others but these will do.
Sorry, I'm confused. I hope the "church of Satan" isn't the RCC?
Thought you knew that.
...to church. Sad but true.
I'm getting too old for A&F, anyway. I'll stick with Club Monaco and Burberry.
Really? I thought it was to make Father's Day less confusing.
Banning a brand because their clothing is unacceptable according to the dress code is one thing. Banning that brand of clothing because of their advertising strategy is just ridiculous.
Every now and then someone on the right, drops a clanger. This is one of them.
Wasn't this the same place that had a ban on interracial dating until the year 2000?
Not my view. Bob was pointing to the BJU view. They have a theological dispute with the RCC. My only problem with the RCC is strictly ecclesiastical.
