Rebranding

A promo video for Hyles-Anderson that makes no mention of either Jack Hyles or fundamentalism.

In fact, they don’t reference Baptists, separation, the King James Bible or pretty much anything else that they usually harp on.

Looks like somebody is making an effort at serious rebranding. Although not serious enough to realize that showing college students playing board games as “entertainment” is probably not going to play well in general.

The Friendship Pass

FriendshipPass

This is a Friendship Request Form from Providence Baptist College which may seem a little odd until you realize that boys and girls who want to “court” have to get permission from the college admin.

The problem is, of course, that that not a lot of kids wanted to make the comittment required to fill out a “Courtship Courtesy Request Form.” Since too many students were refusing to fill out the CCRF early in their relationships (and claimed “just friends” status) the friendship request form was born.

There’s no word on whether they also have “eyes met across a crowded room” or “just really wishing she’d notice me” forms.
