Here's the deal: It's EASY to force conformity to a system with RULES. Do this and don't do that. So many demerits for this infraction or that. Any lame brain can force compliant people to follow rules, and there were a lot of lame brains charged with that task fifty years ago. Conversely, it's...

Sherry, I think you might have been a pretty good preacher!

He was a man of many skills. But looking back on it, I think he had an unsatiable appetite for the praise and adoration of his flock. He told a lot of stories and was the hero of every one of them. Having the young girls do it seems sort of creepy to me today.

Do you recall (on campus) female students who were divorced? Strangely, I recall one male student (won't name names) who was about 25-27 years old, who was divorced and single. If my memory serves me well (debatable) he was not allowed to live in the dorms with the single guys and I THINK he...

Actually, I think the female students may have had it hardest of all students. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you were female, living on campus, you never left that campus unless you were on a bus, going to church, soul winning or working a bus route. For weeks on end! When I think of that...

Were you single in those days? Is it true that Bro. Hyles would come out to the college at night and the single girls would sing to him and make all over him? How was your experience as a female student back then?

That's very interesting. It appears to me that "no pants" is still the code at the college, but I am impressed that they are starting to live in the real world now. I have observed a good many ladies who attended the church and college in the past. Of the ones who left the Hammond area it seems...

Just think, Sherry...if you hadn't gone to HAC all those years ago, you might still be up in Michigan freezing your caboose off! ;)

Booger McFarland is a great American :ROFLMAO:

That's an easy question for me because I wasn't going into full time Christian service. So, no. I had to start all over again when I graduated from HAC in 1981 and it delayed my professional progress. I was 17 years old when I made the decision to go to HAC. Once there, I was not going to quit...

He was also on Revenge of the Nerds

Once you get past the separation issue, you must admit that Billy Graham preached a sound gospel and probably did so to more people than anyone in the 20th century. Accordingly he may have been used to bring more souls to Christ than anyone of his time. Of course, fifty years ago I heard all...

I rather think that it is mostly reflections on a bygone era. Today there is context of the elapsed time that was not at hand when we experienced it. BTW, I also left there in 1981 after graduating. The reality of what remains is a testament to the work that once stood. Interpret that how the...

I do, too. It's a long story that I can't write, but I knew one guy in particular who swore his cough was real and not an imitation of Bro. Hyles. He was actually quite comical in his own way. The dude really felt his "anointing." He's a guy with a common name that I have tried unsuccessfully...

This is a subject I've seen posted several times. I made an observation that hard numbers from the church or college were always hard to get. I'm not sure why, but others have agreed with me. However, I came across a page in the 1983 yearbook, wherein it is stated that in 1982 2,272 students...

I just came across a page from the 1983 yearbook wherein the college claimed to have had 2,272 students in 1982. FWIW.

Jo is correct, it was an event to get teenagers to come out and then have a preaching service at the end. Unlike some haunted houses I've seen, I'm pretty certain that it was only for one night. Btw, Jo, the snakes were behind glass!

You would have to have been there in the seventies. Bro. Hyles told a lot of stories about how his life was threatened because he and the church were the last hope to save America from communists and the godless spirits of the world. I remember one story in particular that he told he was praying...

Of course! I knew Danny, but I'm not sure if you and I ever met. I really liked Danny. I believe I met him my freshman year. Super guy!
