Re: The Israeli state?
An obvious question is if this same concern for various ethnic groups to have a home and make a state of it extends to other people. Israel is run as an effective apartheid state where Jews have far more rights than non-Jews, regardless of citizenship. As do Muslim, Chinese, and many African states...

Re: Failed: Pastor Shooting Attempt - Western PA
It wouldn't have stopped with a mere tackle.... What do you mean? I haven’t watched the video. The assailant was restrained and then another man came over and removed the firearm from the assailant. Like taking a sharp object from a student "You might hurt yourself with this." I would hav...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/student-raised-400k-d-c-010143354.html Yeah. Just dealt with a homeless person that one of our congregants picked up from a doorway on the way to church. Dry clothes, fed, gift cards to provide for the next two meals. Tried to hook her up with a Christian group that runs ...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
should have the main (Federal) channel open to 35 feet by the end of the week, maybe 2 weeks, depending how long it takes to remove the Dali. Ultimately, that channel is 50 feet, and will be again. Do not have a time frame on that. All of the plans we are seeing are for a cable stayed bridge. 5 year...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
For the record, needle exchanges are as much to keep them from infecting others as themselves. About Tranq- It s a veterinary drug, Xylazine. It is an animal tranquilizer, not an opiate, so if someone ODs, Narcan is ineffective, and won’t help. It causes soft tissue necrosis at injection sites, whic...
Re: Cameras
The only thing I will say, it to avoid software zoom at all costs. Insist on one with optical zoom. Even my brother in laws expensive Leica cannot produce images as good as my Pentax at 1/10 the price when zoom is applied. The reason is even zoomed, mine uses the full receptor. His zooms by reducing...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
I wouldn’t sell spray cans of paint in an area with major graffiti problems. I BUY spray paint in an area with a major graffiti problem. Flat black to coat the insides of my students telescopes. Supposed to ask for ID, over 21. For some odd reason, I can't recall ever being asked. Around here it is...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
I think I would sell anything I would buy. I'm feeling too lazy right now to think of examples but I suspect there are items I might purchase that are good and right in their proper place but that are misused often enough that I wouldn't want to sell them (not that I would say it's sinful to sell t...

Re: Conscientious Objectors in Ukraine
This happened during our Vietnam war. One of my friends went to jail, actually a federal prison camp. I was spared this, since they canceled the draft.
Sadly, this brother will likely go to jail, as others have done.
