Re: Bunny Trails

When a post is put in Bunny Trails, can we assume it is off topic and need not be responded to? Doesn't seem like this thread is the one we need to spend our time and energy on. I don't think anyone is obligated to spend any time and energy on Mennonet. But if I have a question about a post someone...

Re: Do important people still sign checks?

Ah, there's some subtext in my mind - the defense is trying to say that Trump was not involved in these payments. But the witnesses who would know seem to be speaking with one voice, saying that he did indeed sign the checks, and this was in keeping with his usual practice. That's what I was addres...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

In regards to your own personal standards and applications, what is liberal/progressive in your opinion? What is conservative in your opinion? My wife wears a headcovering. I don't wear shorts outside the house, maybe if I started doing 5K's again. We don't have *real* TV, but we can livestream and...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist

What actually is EPMC's conference structure? I have a hard time understanding how it is put together. Officially there are 2 -3 bishops per district, but a look through the directory says in the US and Canada one district has 2, five have 3, one has 4, and one has 5. Some of the higher numbers are...

Re: Throwback Thursday.... CB radios!

FCC regulations prohibit using VHF band radios for land use. They are restricted for maritime use and for ship-to-shore communications. So you can technically use VHF on land but only to communicate to ships. Businesses in fishing ports like groceries will have VHF radios and fishermen will call in...

Re: Throwback Thursday.... CB radios!

The combining crews I used to work on back when I was young all used marine VHF radios in their combines and trucks to communicate. Which are more powerful and better than CBs but not technically legal to use for land purposes. But in the middle of Kansas and Nebraska, who's going to know or pay at...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

Accepting state aid like Medicaid is strictly avoided, to the level the local health department can’t even give away car seats - they have to put price tags of a few dollars on them and then Amish people are happy to buy what they think is a yard sale. Are car seats in buggies even a thing? They wa...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist

I often appreciate what you say, Josh, and do agree with your first paragraph. I have to disagree with a good part of your second paragraph. The first sentence describes very few individuals I have met in UC circles, and does not describe what I find to be the group consciousness. (It does describe...
