AFF University
 

If AFF were a University-


What classes would be taught?
Who would teach them?
Would there be clubs? Who would run the clubs?
Would there be other extra curricular activities?
What would our honor roll look like? Who would be A students? Who be the class clowns??

Use this thread to nominate yourself or others for any of the above- AFF university is now hiring!!!

Re: AFF University
 

I would definitely be in the club/extra-curricular activity crowd. Some of the Deep Waters discussions give me a headache. LOL

Re: AFF University
 

Are you saying you just came to college to play football?? :smack

Re: AFF University
 

okay... I was going to start a thread but Pro31 and Stewie seem to be following my thoughts, sort of.

In that extra-curricular department at AFF U, let's say there's a zip line. A standard zip through the jungle canopy kind of line that is 100+ feet in length and with a drop sufficient for exhilarating speeds...

Is there any way a Pentecostal girl can ride that thing modestly with confidence in a skirt? Anybody ever try it?

Re: AFF University
 

Nope, never tried it, but I bet I could find a way... here goes. Modesty kept strictly in mind:

Here I come! All you men CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!

I made it!!!!

I think I nominate myself to be one of the class clowns. I'll leave some room for a few more though...

Re: AFF University
 

Which class is that?

My son went on a missions trip to Costa Rica and did the zip line, all the ladies wore pants or shorts.

:crazywalls

Re: AFF University
 

My wife is demanding an opportunity on a trip coming up to Mexico. She's insisting that you can do it in a skirt.

The UPC standards nonsense has that sort of a grip on my home. In order to be "modest" she's insisting that she flash her 40 year old bum to the assembled crowd below and that it would be "okay."

Re: AFF University
 

It is possible that the harness would wrap that skirt up so that it wouldn't be immodest. But It seems like the pictures were of a harness that they stepped into but there may be different ones.

Re: AFF University
 

LOL...I would probably find my way over to the Athletics Dept for sure. It would be more fun at least.

Re: AFF University
 

:ursofunnyYou've totally hijacked your wife's thread!!

Re: AFF University
 

Every one I've seen is a standard sort of rappelling type harness with "holes" for each leg and attached at the crotch. Just to get into the thing a lady has to hike her skirt up over her waist. The whole thing will then parachute over your face - from the waist up, exposing whatever you were prudent to wear underneath.

Skirts on women are intended to keep them from participating in many activities and occupations. That's the reason women's apparel and men's apparel took such a divergence in form during the Middle Ages.

In the Victorian era it was demanded and considered a sign of "civilization" for the women to be chained by their skirts from participating in "manly" pursuits such as horseback racing and scaffold climbing. In antiquity, everyone was expected to labor together so the tunics and robes were a bit more similar for functional reasons.

Sorry... veering off topic... feeling kind of cranky today.

Re: AFF University
 

Nothing new about that. She will be talking about something and about half way through a sentence and it will remind me of something and I will interrupt her with, "Did you call the Hendrys about the Super Bowl party?" Then I will see the look on her face and I realize what I have done.

Re: AFF University
 

Well? Have the Hendrys been alerted about the Super Bowl party? They're coming right?

Re: AFF University
 

Yep, sounds like the ones I seen.

Sounds like there have been some "discussions" about this.

Re: AFF University
 

I wouldn't say I'm here for the football. Maybe the cheerleading, but not the football.

Actually, if AFF was a college, I'd probably be the woman who works in the cafeteria feeding all the starving kids and acting as their Mom-Away-From-Home.

Of course, I'd also want to sit in on all of the available Art classes. But I'd be skipping those heavy-hitting deep theological classes. I know what I believe. I don't feel the need to argue it with anyone else to try to convince them.

Re: AFF University
 

We haven't decided if they are coming here or we are going there due to the Robby's wheelchair-

Re: AFF University
 

LOL. But, I've hardly ever brought up the family ruckuses here. When I was (sort of) incognito as pelathais it was something that I avoided like the plague.

Any other couples "unequally yoked" out there? One spouse is a "standards nazi" and the other "dresses any way they want?"

Re: AFF University
 

I think we may be in NC this year I haven't checked the date yet. Perhaps you should enroll your wife in AFF university. Oh and she can pay the registrar (Baron) for the number of Credit hours she needs. We can indoctrinate...er...I mean educate her on true modesty.

Re: AFF University
 

Margie- The AFF-U Lunch Lady!!! Love it!!! I think you may work in the counseling office a bit too....

Re: AFF University
 

No dear, The superbowl is the weekend after our anniversary...

Re: AFF University
 

Of course, being an apostolic college, if there were such a sport that required a harness, either they would have separate classes for the men and women, or they would have a side saddle harness for the women, and women would wear coulottes.

Re: AFF University
 

Ask your husband... I'm just pretending that I know anything about these fine folks and that any of this is even any of my business. :ursofunny

Re: AFF University
 

Fortunately no, but Pro needs to lose the young earth view she has been clinging to.

Can you handle that class?

Re: AFF University
 

I would be teaching the A+/Network+/Security+ computer classes.

That's about it for me.

Re: AFF University
 

Why thank you, Pro! That's a very, very nice compliment. I accept it humbly.

Re: AFF University
 

:ursofunny

Re: AFF University
 

In Online School, the IT guy is MOST important!!!

Re: AFF University
 

Yes for keeping the "online" portion actually online and working. Of course I am talking about actually teaching computer basics. Something that I feel is probably sorely lacking in most bible colleges.

Re: AFF University
 

Ohhh..young earth? Take a physical geography course! Awesome stuff.

Re: AFF University
 

Hence, why YOU are in the registrars office and not the theology department...


go find another thread to hijack... :foottap

Re: AFF University
 

Your worries are without merit. I have seen ladies do zip lines in skirts. I have not seen immodesty, but have seen some get hurt.

Re: AFF University
 

Just give me the book/website and tell me when the test is.

K, thanks.

No lecture, no video, no post 6 times in each forum. Just let me read, test and get a grade. :D

Re: AFF University
 

I am just in the registrars office to embezzle some funds before I head back to hijack any class I please at AFF U.

Re: AFF University
 

But I'm counting on you to do the field trips to show the stromatolite fossils in the lower deposits near the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

Stromatolite only form in still waters and require years to grow. They have annual growth rings like trees. This is proof that (among many other proofs) the Grand Canyon sediments could not have been laid down during a hypothesized world wide flood a mere 4,000 years ago or so.

Re: AFF University
 

I'll teach art. Of course, some may be disappointed that Michelangelo's David now wears a fig leaf.... Nah, they'll be more disappointed in some of the other newly clothed nudes, won't they. :heeheehee

Re: AFF University
 

Are you suggesting that he should only worry about his wife's modesty and not her well being?

You must be teaching ethics...

Re: AFF University
 

Ok, here I go hijacking my own thread...

I teach the microsoft office suite to students Kindergarten Through High School- I teach it through projects that the students complete throughout the year. I really felt like they were getting a bit short changed because of my lack of knowledge concerning hardware. I went to a Christian School conference and attended 2 IT classes, I found our program to be worlds and away ahead. I ended up almost co-teaching one of the seminars... it is sad...


BUT I refuse to teach MS at AFF U

Re: AFF University
 

I am signing Pro up for that field trip.

Re: AFF University
 

How were they hurt? Did they wear the harness in the recommended fashion, or did they have to use just one leg hole?

That's the danger I fear. If the carriage snagged at all you could zip right through the harness itself and fall to the bottom of the ravine or whatever.
