comments on orientation

hmm... by bro. made some interesting points about orientation... and heheh... being long winded my reply stretched too long that i decided to make it into a post...

"ragging" new believers..mwahaha, sounds like an excellent idea:P... no-lar...
hmmm...gud points, umm... but if i said that orientation does make IMU a better place to learn by preparing you for situations in real life where there'll be ppl who are out to get you but there are others who're out to help you... does it make sense?
and hmm... shudn't uni be a place to have fun and not just to study?

but uhh... on a serious side, i was just wondering whether we understand what it means to suffer as a christian, cos' most of the time, esp. in an urban culture... becoming a christian doesn't entail much suffering...thus IMHO we sometimes lower our standards to "fit" with the world, so that we can go thru life easier and go thru "less" suffering, and thus in a way, "skip this earthly orientation that's preparing us for heaven"?... umm... hope i'm not blaspheming or anything, but just thot abt it...

That you say...but then is ragging the way to achieve your objectives? Or are there better ways that are also fun but yet not humiliating...

I'm sure IMU is a nice and cool place to be in already *wink*

heheh, can't comment much cos ive never been through ragging and all that...but without generalising, ive noticed that ppl from outstation tend to have a different sense of humour compared to us KLians...
