Re: Works of the flesh observations

Dissensions - implies strife or discord and stresses a division into factions. Sounds to me like what has happened to many Anabaptists. Perhaps the most fragmented group in church history. The city and vicinity where I live in southern Ontario has many Mennonite groups that at some point in time ap...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises

Ernie, I'm not ready to say it's good or bad but I am pointing out it's not "staying the same" from a philosophical viewpoint and that shift likely has repercussions that should be considered as well. Yes, I will be quick to say that there are some really negative repercussions. However, ...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises

2. On one side, you might have folks who live very simply, and engineer their own way of getting their van started such as a push button to run the fuel pump for 15 seconds prior to trying to start the car, and a metal rod sticking out of the dash that adjusts the vent. (I rode in such a vehicle re...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

The gravestone markers at the cemetery are not the prisoner records. The actual prisoner records are maintained at the national archives and over 450 volumes of them have been digitized and available online for genealogical research. What I actually claimed is that the Civil War happened during an ...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Reading comprehension is hard, I know. Yes, I've noticed you find it difficult. I suppose that's why you claimed "208 dead and buried in the camp" earlier in this thread and have now gotten to 267. Older sources including the Daughters of the Confederacy which maintained the cemetery for ...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Meticulous records indeed! How are there 267 graves for only 208 recorded deaths and burials? Almost 1/4 of the graves have no record? If you are so wrong about those easily researched facts, it goes to the credibility of everything else that you write here. Reading comprehension is hard, I know. Y...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Of course the actual historical record of this prison camp was that was a prison camp for Confederate officers and housed over 10,000 Confederate prisoners during the course of the war, of which 208 died in captivity and are buried in the cemetery on site. The Johnson Island Historical Society actu...

Re: Chess Marathons

Can someone please explain why Shawn Martinez, the guy playing against Tunde Onakoya, is not also considered champion at 60 hours as well? White Privilege maybe? Perhaps a case of news writers who have abdicated their responsibility to present the news accurately? Here is an article stating the wor...
