Blaming the Victim – BJU Style

In a way I’m hesitant to keep beating this drum for fear that this blog will turn into “stories about IFB rape vicims.” That’s not my intention for this site and there are already several other writers who are undertaking the task. However, in light of my post about “Destroying the Innocent,” I feel compelled to post this follow up to demonstrate that this kind of behavior is not an isolated incident but rather the result of a carefully constructed philosophy propagated by some of the bastions of fundamentalism.

Here, in sermon at Bob Jones University, Dr. Rand Hummel Demonstrates How To Blame The Victim and make her apologize to her rapist. Notice that nowhere in his story does he say that he contacted any law enforcement or even spoke to the gir’s parents. Even if he did, he doesn’t consider it important to making his main point that the real problem here is the girl’s attitude.

The real meat of the story begins about 2:30 in.

You can view or listen to the the full sermon here.

According to this week’s FWOTW, the goal of homemakerscorner.com is to “avoid the slobbery puppy “Christianity” to which many women fall prey.”

This web page is a ministry of Mary Van Nattan Stephens as the wife of Peter Stephens who also helpfully screens all of her e-mail for her.

Be sure to check out the modesty page, essays on women preachers, and an examination of Lester Rollof’s Diet Heresy.

And finally be warned “Please do not use any of our graphics until further notice. ” That’s a rule I intend to follow.
