Bob Jones U. Bans Abercrombie and Fitch Clothing Line: For 'Wickedness' & 'Antagonism to Christ'
The Huffington Post ^ | 6/7/05 | Arianna Huffington

Posted on 06/07/2005 1:55:36 PM PDT by gopwinsin04

Abercrombie and Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of anatagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions.

In protest, we will not allow articles of clothing displaying their logos to we worn, carried or displayed. (even if covered or masked in some way)

When parents say they want a society safe for their kids, what they mean is that they want someone else to do their job.

The real moral outrage should be attached to t-shirts that cost over $10.00. I mean, it's a t-shirt. What kind of maniac parent is going to indulge that kind of lunacy?

Thats all well and good but has no bearing upon the GI Bill since the funds are available to ex-military and do not control anything.

Students have attended religious schools all over the country on the GI Bill for over half a century and those schools have had no interference from the fedgov as a result. Notre Dame, Loyola, DePaul, Concordia etc. are only a few of the better known.

Government money, even the GI bill, ,always has strings attached. Keeping that in mind is not paranoid, it's common sense. The government NEVER gives money to an organization and expects to have no say in how that money is spent.

Sure they are.
Denim leads to lust.
Lust leads to sex.
Sex leads to pleasure.

And pleasure leads to....
the DARK side of wickedness.

surely you knew that... padawan

We're all gonna Lindy Hop our way to hell!

But first we're gonna sing this 1934 show tune...

Reno:
Times have changed,
And we've often rewound the clock,
Since the Puritans got a shock,
When they landed on Plymouth Rock.
If today,
Any shock they should try to stem,
'Stead of landing on Plymouth Rock,
Plymouth Rock would land on them.
In olden days a glimpse of stocking
Was looked on as something shocking,
But now, God knows,
Anything Goes.
Good authors too who once knew better words,
Now only use four letter words
Writing prose, Anything Goes.
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes
When grandmama whose age is eighty
In night clubs is getting matey with gigolo's,
Anything Goes.
When mothers pack and leave poor father
Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros,
Anything Goes.
If driving fast cars you like,
If low bars you like,
If old hymns you like,
If bare limbs you like,
If Mae West you like
Or me undressed you like,
Why, nobody will oppose!
When every night,
The set that's smart
Is intruding in nudist parties in studios,
Anything Goes.
Reno, Passengers and Crew:
The world has gone mad today
And good's bad today,
And black's white today,
And day's night today,
When most guys today
That women prize today
Are just silly gigolos
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes
Reno:
If saying your prayers you like,
If green pears you like
If old chairs you like,
If back stairs you like,
If love affairs you like
With young bears you like,
Why nobody will oppose!
All:
And though I'm not a great romancer
And though I'm not a great romancer
I know that I'm bound to answer
When you propose,
Anything goes...
Anything goes!

Perhaps it is not the hair and beard per se, but the attitude of the heart. Assuming the correctness of the pictures of Jesus, was His hair and beard out of rebellion?
In some cases (since the 60s) this has been the case.

Perhaps a male family member or imam type, minder, to carry out the requisite honor killing if anyone actually SEES those ankles...

Your right about the free publicity. And I'm sure they intended it.
