AimeeM Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 We live literally down the street from BJU, their presses, and their elementary/high schools. I turn down the road daily to hit Starbucks. For the past week (same time of year as I saw the same, in previous years) there has been a pick up truck with a huge sign that says "God Da*n America" and "Repent or DIE" (or maybe it was "Repent or PERISH"), and "What Do You Need to do to Not Go to HELL?!"... with the older gentleman, and his young son/grandson, outside of BJU, but on their campuses, handing out pamphlets of some sort. Although I've lived in the area for some time, this is the ONLY area that I ever see these types of signs (scare-inducing?) - right in front of BJU, and using BJU's campus, so I'm assuming they approve. I have never heard of such language being used to evangelize, outside of Westboro Baptist. Especially referring to the God "da*ning" America sign. ETA: BJU responded that they absolutely do not endorse the signs, and this man is protesting BJU. I hope they can do SOMETHING legally, maybe due to the profanity on the signs, because the children exiting the elementary school see these signs and have to walk very close to this "protestor's" vehicle; I also responded to the kind man down thread, that he may want to keep an eye on the man handing out literature - the boy with the man appears to be on BJU property.

BrookValley. Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 That doesn't seem nearly offensive enough for Westboro. It doesn't sound to me like the guy is BJU-sponsored. Sounds like he's protesting them? But that makes no sense, either. I can't imagine why they would be targeting BJU; what, is BJU too liberal for this guy? That's kinda mind-boggling. Lol Maybe BJU is just sympathetic and lets the guy park there while he evangelizes? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially referring to the God "da*ning" America sign. I have. went to the ballet last fall. the traffic was a nightmare. we drove past key arena - and those types of signs were out in force. I wish I'd known there was an Elton john concert there that night. I'd have made sure we left much earlier just so we could park! (we parked 3/4 mile away and I had to walk. in dress shoes! lots of blisters.) and the repent or die is totally cliché for a street preacher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spryte Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If you call, please let us know? We had some crazy offensive signs like that at a nearby, large intersection. It was in front of a Sheetz gas station, and we called to find out why these people with the signs were there. We would have stopped shopping there, honestly, but Sheetz told us the people were on a public sidewalk. The signs sounded similar but there were also signs relating our president to a horrific historical figure. It was bad. :( FWIW, they were only there one day, thankfully. So, yes, from what you wrote it does sound like they are on campus property, but ... maybe not? Maybe they are protesting BJU? I wouldn't think there's much to protest there, but you never know.

No - he's with BJU on some level; I see him in and out of the main campus buildings... we have to stop in the afternoons, on the road that runs in between their university campus, and their elementary school campus, for school traffic, so we - unfortunately - had plenty of time to look at the sign and surrounding buildings. Also, there's a main traffic light on a major road on the other side of their university campus (the front entrance). I went back past the truck a bit ago and the main sign I wonder about said, more specifically, "God Da*n America In Jesus Name, Amen". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Lulu* Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Having lived a stone's throw from there for number of years, my guess is that his "message" is not directly endorsed by the university or they would have thier branding all over it. But just because that doesn't fit the image BJU wants to project doesn't mean that some or most of the administration/trustees don't agree with the sentiment. And that would be my guess as to why employee X gets to use BJU property. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one person with clout agrees with sign man or he wouldn't be allowed to stand on campus property with his signs. They are there every year... at least for the past few, when I've noticed. The sign appears to have hundreds of signatures (?) on it in brightly colored ink... it's right there where the children walk from the elementary campus to the other side of the road :( I always rolled my eyes at the signs, but the "God Da*n America in Jesus' Name" one is new this year... and it's more cringeworthy to me. ETA: they are ON campus when handing out literature (the young boy sitting on a chair; the man standing) - they handing it out to those at the traffic light in front of the campus, and those walking by. Sometimes the man is holding a sign instead of handing things out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I wonder if it has anything to do with a former President, Bob Jones III, apologizing for Anti-g*y remarks he made years ago: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/bob-jones-president-apologizes-1980-anti-gay-remarks-29842703 I just seems that something like that would bring the Westboro types out of the woodwork.

Guest Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm a traditional, conservative, reformed, and quite publically evangelical Christian. Those signs bother me immensely. I'd probably walk up to them and tell them as much, because I think it's entirely the wrong way to go about telling people the gospel and showing genuine concern for their souls. It's rude, confrontational, and misses the point almost entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't clicked on the link yet (putting a minion to bed), but wasn't that apology made recently? This guy has been there, with his truck and signs, for years... and on some level BJU is okay with him being there, since I see him out and about around the campus. The truck is there with some consistency throughout the year - but for some reason the SIGNS don't come out until this time of year (same time of year as their Living Gallery signs come out for the Easter season, actually).

PeterPan Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 No, the University has nothing to do with odd fellows who show up with banners and trucks and literature to hand out, lol. BJU doesn't even let students put up posters on campus without approval. They sure aren't endorsing strange men with vulgar and unpatriotic signs, mercy. BJU faculty, staff, and students are very engaged in the political process and very patriotic. As far as why it's happening and the proximity, I'm assuming it has to do with what areas are public property. These types of characters exist. We have some in our town, and they wear signs as they jog up and down the streets of the city. I admire their enthusiasm and fitness, even if they are quite nutty. And yeah, one of them has a colorful van like that with placards all over. For a long time he got lots of attention, because he owned a house at a busy intersection. Then they rerouted the roads, so we hardly even see his rainbow van anymore. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard of such language being used to evangelize, outside of Westboro Baptist. Especially referring to the God "da*ning" America sign. ANYONE can protest on public land. So you cannot assume that BJU approves simply because you have seen those guys there. The opposite could be true: they could be there because they disapprove of some doctrines of BJU. Yeah, WBC members are a special breed. They hit the local JCC here so I counter-protested. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - the man handing out literature is standing by the front entrance to the school; the boy with him sitting on a chair, on what I believe is the BJU lawn... they are handing out some type of literature (looks like pamphlets?) and the man has a sign ON his person, to the people driving (there's a light there) and walking. The truck is parked on the other side of the BJU property, on the road that goes between the University campus and the elementary school - the signs on that truck have profanity on them sometimes (they did the other day).

I'm surprised nobody had called before, because as soon as I described the signs, and where it was, and that it was across from an elementary school, they dispatched a vehicle to see about having the truck removed. What kinds of notes? I mean, the bible itself arguably holds some pretty threatening ideas. Eternal flames for not believing? Ouch. I guess my question is, are these notes and signs extrabiblical, or just worded really offensively? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrookValley. Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Well, I stand corrected. Apparently BJU *is* too liberal for this guy. Never thought I'd use BJU and liberal together in the same sentence, but there ya go. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
