Public Displays of Affection at CoC colleges

[Shane R]

I graduated from Regent University -the one in Virginia Beach founded by the televangelist Pat Robertson Inot the more respected institution in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada)- and there were very strict rules on alcohol consumption. Total prohibition on campus and a fairly stern policy for those who could figure out HRRT bus schedules and find their way to a bar off-campus. But I was an online student so it didn't matter. No co-ed dorms of course but not a lot of restriction on the male-female dynamics on campus, at least according to the student handbook. Looking at the alumni magazine and some of the stuff that goes up on Facebook, I get the sense the school serves the stereotype of being a place for the girls to get a 'Mrs.' for the on-campus students. But only a small percentage of the student body is residential.

I'm glad I went to state college and State University. I didn't go around getting drunk at parties, having sex, and doing other stuff. But I'm glad to know I was free to do so if I had wanted

Exactly!! Didn't do much other than work, study, and at times go to church, but was free to do whatever if I wanted.

I think I got a much better more rounded education.

Absolutely did!! I wouldn't change a thing. Very enlightening for a sheltered small-town girl as I was then. I'll never forget dating my
first atheist. That blew my mind but it was very positive.

I knew a man who swore he was expelled from Freed in the early 1950s for holding hands with his future wife.

Hopefully he then enrolled in a better, state university where adult students were treated like adults. Did he say?

He finished his education at Lipscomb and was a respected gospel preacher for his entire life. He and the woman he so shamelessly held hands with raised five children together managing to send all five to college. They remained married some 55 years until he dropped dead mid sermon one Sunday night from a coronary.

In my opinion, Freedies are a bit cultish. In my experience every Freed grad I've met thought they were just a little better than the average church member even those who had degrees from other coC schools.

Did he have a dislike or any ill feelings toward FHC about this or did he feel they were right? And where did he send his children to college?

Actually, he was pretty stand up about the whole thing and owned that he knew what the rule was and he broke the rule; therefore, his expulsion was his own fault. I'm not sure where all their children went to college, but I know the youngest went to Freed.
