Re: 'anabaptist' Attitude Toward Adoption

Late to this thread, but I grew up with many Plain families who had adopted anywhere from one to six children. Very few of them are still Christian, let alone Mennonite, Brethren, etc. I wonder if the concept of spreading faith through one's children might be more relevant to MN vs. the findings of ...

Re: 'anabaptist' Attitude Toward Adoption

I came across this chart today in another context (not adoption) but it is very relevant here. This chart displays the how much of each of these traits is genetic rather than environment/learned. Aggressive behavior, for example, is 65% genetic and hyperactivity is 95% genetic. Reading for pleasure...

Re: A YouTuber visits a Nationwide Fellowship church

This fellow confused 1956 with the 1800s. Or more accurately, what was a common lifestyle 70 years ago seems to folks today like it was centuries ago. At what point did Mennonites decide to have clean shaven faces and why? We visited Shiloh OH a few years ago, horse and buggy Mennonites and having ...

Hamas's attack is evil.

Israel's counterattack, killing hundreds of civilians is also evil.

War is evil.

Amen.

Re: America's economy rapidly shifts south

I mean, I personally have no plans to move to Texas, but apparently a lot of people in the Northeast do, and commonly cited reasons are cost of living, cost of housing, and income taxes. It is obvious that people are shifting their preference to being in the south than the northeast. What's obvious...

Not the point but thanks for telling a Texan what Texas is like. Also property crime is still much higher in Austin.

Re: America's economy rapidly shifts south

Hmmm... nice attitude towards half of God's beautiful good creation... lots of people up here would disagree with your personal opinion. One man's cursed is another man's blessed. I've never personally lived in the south and don't have plans to, I have lived in the northeast, and currently I live i...
