Forgot one more event that took place (which if I did not go for, would have had much more sleep… but I guess dark circles under my eyes will stay with me till I find a time to catch up with my beauty sleep… Probably next week when I fly off…
)
3rd December – Truth University Free Overview
Totally forgot bout this till Yew Meng reminded us. Pastor Ben recommended this night school as one of a kind, one where the teaching is very solid and where the Bible is taught in a way that no seminary has ever taught before. This university sends lecturers from overseas, and the teaching is once a month on Wednesday nights. Of course, they offered a free one class overview & trial of what the class would be like, before we sign up. So this night, was the night of the free trial. (If not, it would be RM 50/month if you were doing the bachelor degree, RM 100/month for Masters degree and RM 150/month for Phd degree – in a span of two years)
So, out of curiousity, Lai Yee, Yew Meng and I went after work. It was interesting, but realllllyy long!!! We were all like half asleep and half restless with my stomach screaming of hunger (didn’t have time to eat dinner). The teaching was very different, and is what Pastor Ben has shared briefly before with us too. Not to mention, the lecturers accent is hilarious!!! There was one part where we heard “Angels and Cubes” and everyone went, “HUH?!?” It was actually suppose to be angels and cherubs… LOL
Yet, after a few days of thinking it through… I guess this Truth University night classes aren’t for me. Not comfortable with all the over emphasis on numbers and names… And the whole university (to me anyway) feels a bit too over intellectualised for my taste. Although I love a hardcore bible study where it goes straight into history, context and Hebrew/Greek and all that, this was just beyond that, I thought.
But all the same, it was an interesting experience and at least I can say I have been exposed to this and know that this isn’t for me
Besides, this university isn’t really recognised in any of the mainstream churches… hmm hmm

Bible college is always something at the back of my mind. The questions remaining are: when? and where?
