Not at all surprising from our Scotty's gang:
Bosch claims that after a representative for Hillsong College — the school affiliated with the church — persuaded her to give up her film career and move from South Africa to Australia to attend the Christian program, she was immediately asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement preventing her from speaking to anyone about her experiences there without express permission. Bosch didn’t sign it, but she says the college quickly began controlling her life in other ways.
“You had to ask a pastor’s permission to date. They had to choose the person you dated as well. If they don’t think your relationship is what they like, they’ll tell you it’s not permissible,” she said. When a student snitched on her for sleeping on the couch of a platonic male friend after a housing mixup, the pair “weren’t allowed to ever talk again,” according to Bosch.

Hillsong United - Where do they rank in terms of Australia's biggest bands?
I want to say from the start that this thread is NOT a debate about religion. My question is purely from a music point of view could Hillsong United lay claim to being the biggest band in Australia? and how do people rate them musically (not your views on Christianity).
