Re: Church Government Models
What are some indicators that Jesus is truly the head, and that the Holy Spirit is indeed working through the system? Imo, one indicator would be the local church is growing in new converts to following Jesus from unchurched backgrounds. If this isn't happening, my guess is that church is too much ...

Re: NFL “values”
i generally ignore the NFL. with no plans to change. :-| So you'll be ignoring this thread? :P Actually the older I get the more I see the advantages of ignoring most things going on in this world. I believe we can be ambassadors of the Kingdom and know very little about current events whatever the...

Re: The Most "Religious" State in the Country
I forgot about Utah and had picked the next one being Alabama. Why so few Anabaptists in Utah ?

Re: Thinking about shaving my head... sort of...
I think I need to watch I don't become a snob about my specific brand of being a Christian as Jesus said whoever is sin free, they are the only ones qualified to cast a stone at someone else, John 8:7. Those of us who do 'cast stones' at times resemble the Pharisees in Jesus time on earth. Like the ...

Re: Thinking about shaving my head... sort of...
For whatever reason, more conservative groups (intermediate-conservative and beyond) seem to prefer that men not have shaved heads. In moderate-conservative and up groups, this seems to be more acceptable. As a bit of an aside, scratching my bald head, certain use of words puzzles me. When I read w...

Re: Thinking about shaving my head... sort of...
At 77, I've a shaved head, mustache and goatee. Pretty ugly but who cares at my age. Pros, I don't have to worry about my hair out of place; do all my barbering at home; keeps women from chasing after me; better for riding in a convertible; don't need a hair dryer. Cons, sun burn sometimes; razor bl...

If registration dates are factored, the list would change .. at least, the order. Agreed. How many posts on average per day or per week since one's registration day might be interesting. Maybe a graph on the last year or so. Who started the most threads, etc, etc. I don't think I'll hold my breath ...

Looks like an accessory pencil sharpener for a huge mining dump truck.
