<p>For decades, students at Bob Jones University who sought counseling for sexual abuse were told not to report it because turning in an abuser from a fundamentalist Christian community would damage Jesus Christ. Administrators called victims liars and sinners.</p>

<p>Absolutely no surprise. Another adjective, same story. Institutions protect their bottom line and not the real people who have been really abused. </p>
<p>I wonder what Jesus would say about putting their “image” above the pain and suffering of humans. </p>
<p>It really must take a special type of person to attend BJU. Honestly, it’s an abusive environment in and of itself. </p>
<p>The whole university resembles a cult, so I’m far from surprised at this sort of behaviour tbh. </p>
<p>Reading this it’s easy to wonder if any of the people involved in the place have actually read the New Testament. If so, they certainly failed to comprehend the message.</p>
<p>That said, I fear this thread will devolve to the usual wholesale bashing of all Christian schools of any type and people of faith in general. I hope I’m wrong.</p>
<p>Must be a special place in hell for those giving that advice…</p>
<p>^^ On a forum devoted to discussing college quality, many of the so-called Christian colleges deserve a little bashing. Still, I doubt too many reach quite the level of cult-like weirdness as BJU. Should anyone be very surprised at this story?</p>
