Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.

For example, on the HPV thread we are informed that most CAs will refuse free employer-provided health insurance that is a benefit potentially worth many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Who told you that one? I certainly didn't. Is this you? I would waive coverage. I have a statement on file with...

Re: HPV and Cancer link

For the sake of curiosity, if a CA happens to be in a job in which health insurance is one of the provided benefits. Do they refuse to sign up and accept it? Even if it is paid for? For example, my wife's employer provides here with two health insurance options: Option 1: High-deductible plan that ...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist

I would say the expectation of a crisis conversion experience and the focus on salvation and the Christian life as an intensely personal experience rather than an ongoing experience of yieldedness and a bearing and forbearing as a brotherhood were some fruits of the revivalist movement. I think the...

Re: War in Gaza

This was basically a $320M test and it turns out the product needs more refinement before it's ready for prime time. Nope. Been doing this for a long time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulberry_harbour https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/The_Mulberry_artificial_harbour_off_Ar...

Re: War in Gaza

It looks like the Biden's $320 million pier to get relief for the Palestinians in Gaza is turning into a disaster. You would have thought that the engineers of the project would have figured this out beforehand. The question is, was the project hurriedly pushed through without proper research? And ...

Sometimes things are written that are so wildly incorrect, one would think the words would flame up in spontaneous combustion. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExb29ybnZpNzhkeTFhZHZtcXZ2enViczBiZWhtcmFza2xlNnk4enNmNSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/YgceFa5istesE/200.webp It s...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist

You are probably better positioned to speak to that than I am. And I would trust your judgement...though I think if one looks at the fruit of the revivalist era perhaps the old orders were on to something. I'm not an authority on the matter, but that's the impression I have. I can't say for sure wh...

Re: Revival Meetings in Evangelical/Mainline Anabaptist

Revival meetings were contentious topics in the Mennonite church from the beginning...primarily because they were a Protestant innovation accompanied by "crisis conversion" and other "unseemly" activity per Mennonite sensibilities (which preferred an orderly and practical Christ...
