Default Re: Talk to me about Vision Forum

I am almost certain that Bob Jones Jr. is not associated. I went to college at BJU when Dr. Bob Jr. was still alive, and his and the school's teachings are directly opposed to many of the things VF teaches. BJU is a university that heavily recruits from the homeschool community--why would they support an organization that teaches college is basically evil? They actively teach that adult (college-age) children should follow God rather than their parents when they feel that God is leading them to do something with which their parents disagree. Bob Jones Jr. could rightly be called fundamentalist and possibly separatist, but to my knowledge he is not and never has been part of the patriarchy movement.

Mary Pride has also recently come out publicly speaking against patriarchy. www. home-school.com/Articles/phs89-marypride.html

Mary says,
Quote:
Patriarchy Is a Bad Word

Literally, "patriarchy" means "father-supreme-leadership." However, in the Christian home (and the Patriarchy movement is a Christian movement), Jesus is Lord, not Dad. So right from the start, the emphasis is in the wrong place.
(emphasis in original)

Some of the others listed are involved in the conservative homeschool movement but may not be directly connected with VF.

I think if we are going to make a list it would be good to include facts and evidence of exactly how these people are connected with VF.
