Re: Heartfelt Apologies

Another type of common apologies is for teenagers to write notes of apologies to their school teachers for being disrespectful, dishonest, unkind, etc. I wrote such notes to a number of my teachers and have had former students write to me as well. Often this happens when teens decides to commit the...

Re: Headcovering advice

It’s nice you want to support her SB. I think the band is a good start. I just want to say that there may be some backlash as most women who cover in non-Cover churches usually experience it, but since you attend the side that actually left the coverings behind after the 80‘s split, it might be wors...

Re: The Anabaptist perception on life before The Flood!

In those days the Nephilim roamed the earth, angel/human hybrids. I certainly believe people were more intelligent and physically prime back then. „The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. T...

Re: Poll: Covid (as of December 2022)

I find it interesting that 8 people (out of about 20 poll participants) are not aware that they have had Covid yet. People were telling me prior to this past week that I am sort of a rarity in that that I had not gotten it yet. This is interesting, have you had an antibody test? Some people I knew ...

Re: USA / CANADA / vaccination / foreign nationals

From the beginning of the pandemic, Canada was much more strict than the US about masking, crowdsize, vaccination, quarantine, etc. US border officials even let unvaccinated foreigners enter the US on occasion. I have unvaccinated Canadian relatives that try entering the US periodically. Sometimes ...

Re: Problematic Occupations for Mennonites

Last week, a man mentioned the discomfort and uncertainty he felt in doing some RV work for a lesbian couple to live in. RV’s are an important part of his business. I also heard about a man who quit his decal business, because a large part of it was on semi trucks, and was vain; client told him tha...

Re: The Wickedness of Creating Large Families (Sanger)

I read her Wikipedia and from the beginning of her life I doubt she would have the biggest chance at living a biblical life. She also seemed the kind to jump into the next “big” leftist leanings. I haven’t read through the article yet, but I wonder if she would be repeating this considering there ar...

-Covid restrictions, one pack of pasta per grocery shop. One pack of 10 eggs per grocery shop. One pack of flour per shop etc. So large families often had to split up and shop separately to buy enough for one meal. It’s funny now but at the time it was frustrating. -Using every other child’s name be...
