Just getting started and already nicknamed.

I noticed that also.

It's not like anyone from Appalachian Mountain Church is going to see it.

What is the nature of this split? It's over internet and enforcement of standards. Appalachian Mountain Church wants a more consistent application of standards over the internet issue. They also feel that Eastern has slipped on enforcement of standards quite a bit. They want consistency in enforcem...

The other big talk at the Bible School was about the group that was pulling out of Eastern. Several of us wanted to visit the meeting for the Application Mountain Church, but all of our requests for leaving the campus for the meetings were denied. There was a small minority who transferred their me...

One thing I found interesting was that 21st Century Mennonite Missions only highlighted missions in their bracket. If it was not under WandF, CMCO, Nationwide, or M.M.M. it was not covered.

Let your questions fly. tell us more? :P Probably the most interesting thing that I found was that even t...

Ashland or Numidia? If I had known you were there I'd have made it a point to stop in and see you. Which classes did you take? Ashland; first term was December 26 - January 12. I took the following classes 1st and 2nd Timothy Life of Abraham 21st Century Mennonite Missions Nonresistance Separation ...

You attend an Intermediate Conservative church and went to Eastern BBS? How come? The first reason was that I had limited options for Bible School. I'm not a member of any church at the moment and that limits where I could get in. I had a friend from that setting offer to work behind the scenes to ...
