Bible Bee Chat Room

I started the third year of the Bible Bee. If you have any other study tips, I would love to hear them.

Honestly...I think we're all going to have to re-learn how to study this year. =P

I think I'm going to study pretty much the same way. Just have to get the timing right.

I'm in desperate need of a Bible Bee stress ball. Anyone have one or two?

MV is my stress ball. :P Sorta. xD

Me too. I'm not normally on MV on Mondays, but Mommy gave me permission to be on today!

Same here…

Read the study book in all the other translations. This might help you understand the book a lot better.

How about "The McMahan Dynasty" for 2010-2014? "The Golden Era"? "The Age of Hand-Waving"?

From one of the new BB staff people at the webinar… so cool =D
Audience Question
Q: Can you pleas share with us your heart's desire/motivation for your involvement with the Bible Bee?
A: I have been a worship pastor and part time project manager for the past 8 years. About 8 months ago I was abruptly fired. For 6 months I spent every day in God's word as if it were my mission to uncover his will for me. The bills got paid for 6 months without me working! Friends and family sent money, we recieved crazy returns on taxes and numerous other things. It was providence for certain. During that 6 months the spirit ministered to me his will to be a man solely focused on his word and that he ws preparing me for somthing big. At the end of the six months I got a call from Robert and he said that he needed me to do this job of managing the Bible Bee. And here I am waiting on the Lord to be the strength and to create the new direction for the Bible Bee and all the contestants and families.

My mom says that is prefect.

Will the top 120 still qualify?

It does sound like God is bringing this together, changes and all. Whatever happens, it appears to be God's plan.

Will you be able to print the SG? (Study Guide)

They could still have hand-waving at Nats.

"That Time When Everything Wasn't in Texas"?

Yesssss. And that is amazing. :D is a little bit more excited :P

"That Time When Everything Wasn't in Texas"?

The Ohioan Age (versus the Texan age). Or something like that, based on the HQ location.

Does anyone know if the SS that Mrs. McMahan wrote is for the same book that we will be studying? I didn't get to watch the webinar this morning (I will tonight), so everything I know if from a text from Daddy.

No, it will be a different book or passage.

Will you be able to print the SG? (Study Guide)

I don't see why not. They're just providing it electronically - probably a pdf or something. It would be much harder to fill it in electronically also.

I'd imagine you could… ^or else I'm overly hopeful ;D^

In won't —it can't— be the same. Not without Mrs. McMahan making us do it. Not without me to complain about it.

They said it's downloadable. So once you download it you can print it.

I hope we can.

True. How involved are the McMahans with Bible Bee now? I don't think I heard.

Here are some links from the BB website!

Could we sue them for being discriminatory toward the electronically challenged?

At least what I heard from Mrs. McMahan was: 0%. So sad.

Whoa. I just got back on here and read through the pages I missed… The Locals verses are being released week by week?? Was that on the webinar? I must have missed it…

And the thing about the answers to each test question being final- did I miss that on there too? Wow! I mean, what if you click the wrong thing by accident?

They stayed on there for a long time answering questions…those were some of the things they answered.

What I'm worried about (or one of the things) is what do I do if I lose Internet connection? It's quite likely to happen :(.

Oh, okay, I see.

My question too. :(

I know…….we usually have good internet connection but it always seems to go out when it's really important XP

sighhhs :-/ :P That's going to be so weird with each question timed and not being able to go back…

So you get verses a week at time? I sure hope that some of this info is wrong.

I know.......we usually have good internet connection but it always seems to go out when it's really important XP

exactlyyyyyy. xP

According to the links Rachel posted, a "portion" of the Nats verses will be released on June 22. Nats scores and rankings will be released on participant dashboards on Aug. 8. 120 Nats participants again.

I know!! That's going to be awful! Did they say how much time you get for each question?

Are they not going to have the whole list of people?? You can only see your own ranking???

My question too. :(

They said that if you have trouble with internet (or have no computer) you can take it at a library or somewhere like that.

No, I don't believe they did… They said something about "enough time for each contestant's ability" or something of that sort.

You may have noticed from the MV quizzes that my family tends to lose Internet for a minute or two frequently. I have also wondered about those who do not own a computer. Can they take the test at a library?

Wait, what?? Ah well, I guess that's fairly minor, compared to some of the other things. :P

I don't know. It didn't say.

Well, as long as I swim through this confusion and place in the top 120, I'll be happy. xD xP

OK.

Oh. Wonder what that means? The test is still an hour total, though, right? Or didn't they say? (Now I'm wishing I'd stayed on longer…)

Yes, they said you can take the test at a library. :)

Lol. xP Were we able to see our raking on our own page before?

No, I don't believe they did... They said something about "enough time for each contestant's ability" or something of that sort.

I'll say I need a lot of time because sometime my brain isn't good at remembering under pressure………… XP

I surely hope not. That's most of the fun, is looking through the list and being like "Ahhh, yay! Whoever made it!!!!" xD
