good.

I think businesses all over American should start doing this, and rid themselves in one fell swoop of the liberals within.

I think their stance is an admission that they are not perfect. I wonder how many liars are left..........

Good and bad.

They’re identifying one particular sin group. But then, what about gossips, liars, thieves, people with critical attitudes? Those are sins too, and just as damaging.

...among other forbidden activities.

From http://www.shorter.edu/about/personal_lifestyle_statement.pdf

I agree to adhere to and support the following principles (on or off the campus):

1. I will be loyal to the mission of Shorter University as a Christ-centered institution affiliated with the Georgia Baptist Convention.

2. I will not engage in the use, sale, possession, or production of illegal drugs.

3. I reject as acceptable all sexual activity not in agreement with the Bible, including, but not limited to, premarital sex, adultery, and homosexuality.

4. I will not use alcoholic beverages in the presence of students, and I will abstain from serving, from using, and from advocating the use of alcoholic beverages in public (e.g. in locations that are open to use by the general public, including as some examples restaurants, concert venues, stadiums, and sports facilities) and in settings in which students are present or are likely to be present. I will not attend any University sponsored event in which I have consumed alcohol within the last six hours. Neither will I promote or encourage the use of alcohol.

The Shorter University Factbook lists 454 FT & PT employees, including faculty & non-faculty, for 2011-2012. If up to 60 employees refused to sign the lifestyle agreement and resigned, that's a rate of approximately 13%. Homosexuals represent 1-2% of the population nationwide. A 6-10 times higher rate for the university is not surprising, given that academia is one of the career areas that attract a disproportionate number of poofs. (Along with entertainment, fashion, journalism, clergy, hairdressing, etc.)

I certainly hope they aren’t bruised by the door hitting them on their asses on their way out the door.

No problem...I know for a fact that there are lots of unemployed Ph.D.’s in various fields who will be more than happy to take those jobs.

There is some good news.. New Sodom is not accepted by everyone..

NEXT; hiring practices should go under severe review that allowed hiring these reprobates..
No doubt there are a few stealth candidates left.. with questionable “values”..

Evidently “Baptist” don’t mean what it used to mean..
It is just a “word”...

Take out the restrictions on alcohol usage and see how many sign. I couldn’t sign this for that one reason. I like a beer with dinner every so often.

Everything else I have no problem with.
