[Wolfman]

For one who has been a Christian beliver for 28 years, and an Omega man for almost 24 years, the question you posed is of utmost importance. If you know to whom you belong, and are willing to be a light, and don't compromise your basic convictions,Omega can be a great learning experience, a real laboratory on life. The truth is that if you live out the Omega ethic and principles,which many brothers don't fully come to grips with, then your Christian walk can be fruitful in Omega. But, as in everything else in life, you have choices,and you can choose to follow the examples of Omega men who are godly and serious about their faith, or fall in with those who aren't. When I was on line back in 1980 as a Lamp, an Omega Man took me aside from the misdt of the lineup to talk to me "off the record." He told me a couple of things that I believe,unbeknownst to him, the Holy Spirit was speaking through him:first, you will meet brothers that you will not like and second, Omega is a religious. These words were meant, I believe, to help me keep my bearings in the midst of the stuff I would face. But positivley, it takes maturity to be a real Omega man. And many Omega brothers don't avail themselves of the opportunities of growing spiritually by their associations with some great Omega men,who are men of God. (By the way, for a while I did as the young lady did and disassociated myself from Omega;but later I did come back to the fold. In retrospect,this had to do with settling,in a mature way, what the Lordship of Jesus Christ meant in my life at that stage of my development, and to see Omega from a different perspective:as a means of serving God and humanity.) Be prayerful and discerning, and do what the LORD puts on your heart. We are each made in the image of God, and that image is not a cookie cutter image. use this occasion(and quandry!) as a avenue of positive growth in God. And God leads by positve conviction which strengthens your volitional abilities;while Satan works by fear which distorts your ability to discern "good and evil":fear of not having options which can be a pull to sin, or fear of failure, of venturing into unknown territory. Be blessed!
