Returning Officers Rob & Julie in relaxing mood at the Charter Bail Yes you guessed it - the man who likes to tell il as it is, Manoj Palei, was elected as next year's Président and his first reaction to the news was "Manoj says Bollox" with a grin from ear to ear, followed by "This means I get a column in Bare Facts every week next year, doesn't it?" Manoj, who had sat in on the count in the Nelson Mandela Room, seemed relieved that the stress and the waiting were ail over.

Heather Stych for Vice Président.

On leaming that she had won, Heather reacted with almost hystérie^ tears, hugging the members of her campaign team and gasping, "l'manervous wreck andl'm nevergoing through that again!" Although, when she had calmed down enough to collect her thoughts, she did add (very happily) "l'm really pleased that it's tunied eut so well and l'm looking forward to next year."

Jono Bennett for Communications Officer.

Jono had gone to lectures on Friday aftemoon rather than brave the nail-biting stress of waiting for the results in the Union and was promptly accosted by his girlfriend on his return to the Union. His first reaction was "Aaargh!" His second: "Erm, relieved!"

ou may meet one of their followers very soon, I did last YFriday. A friend of mine invited me to meet this guy from the church during lunch time.

We then sat down in the Hall Restaurant (the three of us) and I thought I might be about to learn something about him. Instead he showed me his Bible, which had highlighter pen and notes scribbled all over it. He pointed to a bit where it said "It was at Antioch the disciples were fu^t called Christians". The point he was trying to get across was that all Christians are disciples. Quite some time later when I was on my ov^ with my own Bible (Good News) I found it said "followers" instead of "disciples". The guy then showed me some other passages and asked me what I thought of them. They were bits where disciples were being commanded to go out and become fishers of men. He said it was what was expected of all disciples. Later on he gave me some Bible references to go away and read and Monday & Tuesday I got him to admit that what he was saying was that unless you go out and actively preach the Gospel, you will go to hell.

Later that day I picked up a booklet writt^ about them at the Week 6 Christian Union by someone who has had a lot of experience with them. To a lonely student they may seem very friendly. To a zealous believer they may seem to be truer to what is expected of believers. They claim to be the only true Church bemuse they preach that spreading the Gospel is a requirement of God. In fact, if you do not go round knocking on other people's doors or speaking aloud, you are not a disciple and will go to hell. Be careful how they interpret the Bible. The reason why many passages in the Bible contradict others is £IPINT because the context needs to be understood and the Bible deals with many different situations. They will also expect you to get intimately involved with them and they will t^e over your lives. You will be assigned a discipler who will keep a close eye over you. A true leader is a servant, not a tyrant And I thought Jesus was sent to set us free from our sins, so where then is the freedom? Is this whm it is going to be like in heaven?

They also preach that Baptism is the mcnnent of conversion. But if someone has not been converted, surely they will not want to be baptised! We are saved through our faith in Jesus Christ by the grace of our Father. I could quote various refer- ences from the B ible, but I will not because it can be destiucti ve to argue over various points, meanings and terminological inexactitudes. What is more important is to learn from what is said in the Bible and apply it to our lives, not end up living out of a book. 1 read through these Bible references this guy had left me with and 1 was still not convinced, but my conscience was cle^u* and I felt real joy. Just telling these people where to go may be the safest ojHion, but I would like to help them to see the error of their ways. If you would like further advice I can be contacted through the Electrical/Electronic department pigeon holes.
