This sounds interesting to me. I am an avid listener of Family Radio on short wave and I also listen to WMCA in New York City. I love being a part of the Shadow Mountain Church services via the internet and streaming video. I currently received an NIV translation Bible from Zondervan and am loving it dearly. Recently I became a child of God and am loving the feeling that the Holy Spirit imparts upon me as it guides me through daily living. I am new in the Church of God and the family of Yoshua/Joshua/Jesus. I read the bible every single day because I need lots of spiritual food/living water. Like Steven and Saul who became Paul, I have a lot of faith and know I will end up in the New Jerusalem when the time comes with the rest of the children of GOD.

Hi all,

I have no issue with a bible study net as such however I do have concerns that I will express in my final paragraph*. I do agree with KD4QFT though that the number of nets are growing to the extent that it is easy to trample unawares on a 'net frequency'. Traditionally Amateur radio is a first come first served basis, so that if a frequency is in use one simply moves to another one. This is not always proving to be the case on CQ100 however as a possessive element seems to have crept in in some cases.

I still like my suggestion (made in another forum) that scheduled public nets are confined to one band (such as 29m perhaps) therefore ensuring that we all know where everyone is. It didn't receive many responses however.

*My concerns are that if one religious group starts a net then other more extreme religious groups who tend to hijack religion for nefarious purposes may feel the need to compete with nets of their own. It would be hard to justify saying no to an Islaamic Jihad net in these circumstances wouldn't it? It is perhaps this and the immotive and controversial nature of religion which has historically put it into the 'never discuss religion, politics or war in public' catergory.

Mild mannered people of good conscience and intent may often find themselves used as pawns in a bigger game by groups with their own agenda. It's a great shame but such is life alas.

Regards,
