pros and cons of roommates:
pros:
community (sigh, that's a biggie one: like less loneliness, more friends, more social life, more people...)
living in something other than a box
growing more in christ, cause other people will start picking on me for my bad habits
less temptations (who can be bad when other people are watching you...)
cons:
i already have an apt...
and it's cheaper.

luke 5:33-39
they said to him, "John's disciples often fast and pray, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours go on eating and drinking."
they = pharisees; john = john the baptist.
strange cause the pharisees were also originally against the teaching of john the baptist. here they put the two together, as if both were religious and holy - set apart for God.
