Hey everybody, so, yeah, I've just spent the last 4+ hours writing out a paper on why I object to one half of one page in the BCM (Baptist Collegiate Ministries) Council Application, I haven't watched the news, i haven't read a sermon, I haven't thought about anything, I haven't even had caffine yet, but just the first thing I did when I got home from our BCM activities tonight was to start on this. So I want some opinions, some edits, whatever you feel like giving me as long as it's going to be constructive. If I'm quoting something out of context or I'm making an argument you just really don't agree with and you can easily pull some scripture out, please do so. Basically I've got to give these objections to our coordinator tomorrow (Sunday) night b/c the meeting between the two of us was in public with the rest of the kids around and Donna doesn't know when to accept that "I got it." means I Really got it, you can move on now!" We ended up getting bogged down in the details about alcohol which is a perfect example especially in this case. Oh, and one thing you might want to know, Council is 2 junior girls and a senior girl and Donna (who's 41, mother of 2) and they're all Arminian, in fact, I think the entire group is, I've heard all of 2 Calvinistic messages, and as an exmple, just tonight hanging out with some of my girlfriends at their apartment, one of the girls who I'd just explained (out of necessity) the TULIP accrostic to last Saturday night, she (Katie) made a comment when I said it was cool her (Katie's) roommate (Krissy) (my romantic interest too) had bought herself tulips. Katie looked at me and said something like, "Yeah, and their not like that Calvinist kind." or something like that. Yeah, I get some hostility and discomfort occaisionally.
Anyway, any feedback on this paper would be nice. And if you wanna propose alternate ways or clearer ways of saying we abstain from these things, please, by all means. oh, and all definitions are from the same dictionairy.
