Bible Bee Chat Room

I really hope you qualify too! :D

Oh Okay.

I have to go now.. I really enjoyed talking though! Bye! :)

It's good to "meet" you, since I didn't get a chance at Nationals! :D How many years do you have left to compete?

Farewell, Katrina!

Good bye! :)

Bye Katrina! It was good talking with you! (I will write back to you email sometime;) Miss you!

This is my last year. :(

How many years have you done the Bible Bee?

This is my last year. :(

Sadness. =/

Ah, okay. :(

They're going to release them a week at a time, I think.

I've done it since 2009 and qualified since 2011. What about you?

Hopefully I make it to nationals this year. Last year was the first year I made it.

Wait a sec. Did they say that they won't have a musical CD for this year…?

Yeup. :(

Yeup. :(

Hopefully I make it to nationals this year. Last year was the first year I made it.

Yes, I hope you will! :) Okay! I take it you enjoyed it…? ;P

I can hear him typing. (I've still got the webinar thing up) :)

Oh, that's great!! I hope you make it this year too!

Have you ever made it to semis?

Us too! xP

Hey guys… I'm kinda thinking we should all write something encouraging to Mr. Upton… there's a bunch of people asking if they can get their registration money refunded… :-/

Yeup. :(

Okay. So just a thought. I could be wrong. But I was looking on the SS site and there is a musical cd for KJV 2015. Which, if my logic is correct, the verses will be different then the ones in the SS that Mrs. M wrote. If you take that logic further, you could say that the book to study and the SS is definitely different. Of course you could also come to that conclusion because the study time is shorter than the SS was planning for. And the SS was already written. Then they needed to change the date. So they could no longer use the SS or that book because it was too long. Hopefully that makes sense… And maybe y'all have already come to this conclusion…

No, I haven't… I would have been kind of close last year, but I did kind of bad at orals. xD

That sounds like a good idea… I'll have to talk to my parents about that. :)

I just asked my mom if we could. ;D I can imagine that must be reaaaally hard. :(

Okay! I'm sure my parents will let me! :)

Yeah, really! Especially since he didn't have anything to do with BB and now he gets stuck in that position…

Did you guys hear anything about locals verses - whether they'd be released a week at a time also? I tried to ask in the webinar, but my question didn't get answered.

I can hear him typing. (I've still got the webinar thing up) :)

Haha! So can I.

Mmm-hmmm. And it's not really him making the decisions, but he has to tell everyone and make people upset. :P

I also tried asking the same thing but I didn't get an answer.

I asked my Dad and he said he'd have to think about it. :) He's talking with our company right now so he didn't have the time to think it through right now. ;)

How long have you been on Memverse, Logan? Have you ever gone to any of the quizzes?

Okay. ;)

I signed up last fall, but I didn't know that there was a forum until last week.

What are the MV quizzes?

Welcome to Memverse, Logan! I remember your name from Nats. :) I was a few people down the aisle (my name is Esther O.).

Here's the info about the quizzes: https://www.memverse.com/blog/main/live-bible-quizzes

They're quite fun! You should join us sometime.

Okay! Well, it's good to have you! :D

They have Bible Knowledge quizzes twice a week! They're really fun, and there's a bunch of other BBers there you might recognize. The last couple years they've added quizzes for BB too. You can see the times and stuff by clicking on the "Quiz" button at the top bar across your screen!

They just said the verses for locals will be released week by week too. :(:(

I have a question, how do you guys study the CRs for locals? Do you memorize all that are in the Sword Study?

They just said the verses for locals will be released week by week too. :(:(

Oh no…

Oh no...

^^ =(

Create summaries and learn the main themes of each one. I don't think you need to memorize them.

I have a feeling this is going to have an impact on the number of contestants…

@All who have the webinar still open: what important questions were asked and answered?

For locals, I made a list of all the CRs from the SS and plugged them into Scripture Typer, so as not to clog up my MV account with verses I wouldn't keep memorized after Locals. Also, on ST, once you memorize a verse, you can opt to review it so that you only type in every other word. That way, I could keep myself familiar with the verses, but not actually completely memorize them. I didn't do any besides the ones in the SS. That worked pretty well.

Last year, I memorized a couple of the CRs, but mostly I just pasted them all and printed them out under different headings (ie. Jonah cross references would be labeled "Jonah" xP), and reviewed them all the time. On the test though, I really got dinged on the Psalm CRs, because I didn't know them all by their references.

They just said the verses for locals will be released week by week too. :(:(

Oh no...

^^ =(

NO WAY.

=(

Verses released week by week too. :(

Wait, the Nationals verses too?

I'm not really sure. I think they said something about "releasing the first set of Nats verses on the 22nd"
