Re: The *official* CAM scandal links thread

... I don't know to this day what they had been told, I suspect that we had "quit." ... BTW, I stayed in that church, was reelected to the board, and began teaching again. I don't know why to this day. ... The lack of communication in this church seems to me to be a serious continuing pro...

Re: Hunting - Poll

Our local economy gets a very real boost this time of the year as people from the city head north for hunting. I used to get frustrated seeing all the expensive 4 wheel drive pickup trucks pulling camper trailers and trailers loaded with 4 wheelers but now I just smile and think of all the money tho...

Re: November 22, 1963

Seems to me I was in a field behind the house, plowing with a little grey Ferguson tractor when a neighbour walked up to where I was working and told me about it. Even in Canada, people were excited about this event.

Re: Child injury or death, parent charged?

RZehr, it isn't only in your area where that is the case. What you describe, would I think, describe our province as well. When we hear of accidental deaths of children, it brings fear along with the other more natural responses. Do the parents really need to face a criminal investigation in additio...

Re: Windows Version being Used?

Just in the process of switching from Win7 to 10. It has been much easier than I had dared to hope. I was told too much of our software is no longer designed for Win7. The tax software people recommended Win 10 so I moved.

Re: The *official* CAM scandal links thread

Trudy wants us to continue to think about our approach to the problem and to question how we are dealing with it. I thought in our home area we were doing better than some until I recently found out that the local police force has 400 cases on their books that are "under investigation." Th...

Re: Conservative Anabaptist Young People

I was shocked to see some of the things the girls admitted to. 44% of girls are facing problems in friendships and 21% have issues with depression. 70% of girls with an average age of 21.6 are content, not dating while 56% of boys are content. The data on dating is so much different than in our chur...

Re: CAM Molestation Issue

Jesus is being misrepresented in Haiti where CAM has continuously badgered Jeriah's victims with their attorneys and staff to settle for a cash payout. Those who have accepted payouts are being refused the very document they signed. 1) Can this be confirmed? 2) Why? The CAM board has been aware of ...
