Anon....
Just another note... your point #3 sounds like you're defending Dave Hasz, saying that he's only "suggesting", not "demanding". I find it incredibly alarming to hear that in your opinion his making a "suggestion" about women wearing makeup, from the podium, during a lecture to the class, is okay. Do you hear yourself?
I'm trying to find how Jesus is represented in the tiniest bit by the way Hasz talks about outward appearance. It's just plain wrong. Nothing like our beautiful savior at ALL.

Anon,

Dave Hasz strongly suggests and most certainly requires women to wear makeup. I was present when he stated it, and even remember a fellow intern questioning him during the lecture.

Just to clear the air... I was there that year, and spent a few years there...
1. There has never been an opening corporate where we ran more than a mile. most of the time it was about a half mile and did not exceed one mile for a while.
2. Do you now know what UPG is and understand that all you heard in your room was likely a January intern talking about it?
3. Dave Hasz never demanded women wear makup. He makes a suggestion, but not a demand. And the suggestion is the same for men as it is for women... make yourself presentable. That does not mean make yourself a movie star. People in general need to take care of themselves.

Not to be entirely contradictory, I am reading the story and trying to learn from it and compare my own expeirences to it. I too was at one point interested in the north campus so I can relate.

I am so sorry Noelle!
I went on a trip one time and it was the same, except that my experience was 3 years later!
You did nothing wrong. You discerned correctly.
Love like Jesus and love with grace and without judgement. Honor Academy doesn't do that.

Thanks guys,
I just pray that new interns are able to listen to the warning bells. I know people get an off vibe. I saw so many that did but stayed.
Noelle.

I remember having those feelings early on. I wish I would have listened to the warning bells in my head the way you did.

This is great. Three cheers for Galatians! If only more interns would have the clarity of mind to listen to God's voice....

It is good to hear how God was convicting you about Teen Mania. How merciful He is.

Sometimes you know when something isn't safe. I remember when reading this my own misgivings about the HA when I showed up and I think it speaks to your strength that you really listened to yourself and took pro-active steps I am curious to see how things happened from there but know that you are very strong to have started realizing so quickly something was wrong.
