I barely remember Sauzer's. You mean you would get off work and go by for coffee and pie? I mean, that just sounds like an act of maintaining one's sanity. You mean the rule was that if it was after curfew, you weren't allowed to make a stop on the way in? I really would like to get a copy of the handbook from those days or even, now. I have forgotten so many of the rules for living!!
Bro. Hyles was a pretty big sports fan. I remember when I was there that he had Bill Madlock of the Chicago Cubs speak at the church. Madlock won four batting titles and was no lightweight. We also had Olympic gold medal wrestler Ben Peterson speak.
I know all the arguments, but I've never seen the harm in letting the kids dress up like cowboys and Indians and trick or treat. I did it when I was a kid and Satan didn't grab me.
That's kinda how I look at it. If you want to trick or treat, go for it. (Just share your Kit-Kats with me please.)
She is no longer active on the Forum, but Teri in NC kept a stash of all things HAC/FBCH from the early '80's.
Oh, yes, that's what I mean. One could have a pass to be out past curfew for work....... then head straight to the dorm. Then you had a half hour to hit the rack.
I believe it was 3 demerits if you failed to sign in or out. 50 demerits if you were caught kissing. At 50 demerits, you were campused. Chewing gum was 2 or 3 demerits. Were we given demerits for being late to class or chapel? Can't remember.
she can be reached on facebook she is my buddy
I was born and raised in FBC...I can remember when I was rather young, Bro Hyles would talk about how he was "on the KGB hit list".....like #1 or #2....lol.....as kids we were terrified that the Russians were going to burst into every service with their guns blazing. But boy....the people believed it all.... He was a legend in his own mind in many ways....
Do you think he had some type of mental health issue?
You had to have been there in that time. I remember his "bodyguards" waiting on him to come out of his office on the way to the pulpit and how they walked with him that fifty feet in the alley that connected the office wing to the auditorium. We thought he needed protection like the president and he encouraged it.
I have actually know a few people in my life that in a progressive manner began to confuse the reality of their lives with fantasy. They began to TRULY believe things that were obviously untrue about themselves. It leads to a bad end.
Narcissistic personality disorder, which many extremely intelligent people have.
I think more members left FBC in the early 90's because of DH than left in '89 because of the Nishchick allegations against Bro Hyles
