Re: Can anyone tell me more about the Holdeman Mennonites?
That's why I didn't see it. I didn't come in early for the Sunday school.

Re: Can anyone tell me more about the Holdeman Mennonites?
And if I could break in here again. I noticed that the atmosphere in a Holdeman church is more relaxed. With members in the pews actually speaking or commenting to the minister without the strict formality of a typical conservative church. So there was actual audience participation there which seems...

Re: Can anyone tell me more about the Holdeman Mennonites?
If I could change the subject for a moment. When I visited a Holdeman Church, I kept wondering when the basket would get passed around to give tithes or support. But it never came around. And since their church service is so short compared to most Mennonite Churches, only about an hour, where and wh...

Re: Prophecy and the prophetic voice
Everything, written or spoken, must line up with Scripture. That's was what the Jews said was the reason they wanted Christ dead. What he said went against what they believed was scripture. Only thing is, if you read scripture, he didn't go against it. The pharisees went against it. But they wouldn...

Re: Facebook???
Porn addiction, suicide, depression, and loneliness among the younger generation is way up, thanks to what I believe is the anti social, self centered culture that the internet is perpetuating.

Re: Prophecy and the prophetic voice
And what was the fate of All the other prophets? Would you accept someone of God prophesying ? I doubt it. So even though Paul speaks of it as someone who is an integral and needed part of the body of Christ, yet I don't believe someone condemning the misdirection of God's church today would be trea...

Re: Abuse/criminality & divorce/separations
That's such an extreme hypothetical scenario. I can't imagine the husband was ever a Christian to begin with. Why wouldn't she put away her unbelieving husband. If he's been commiting sexual acts that would have at one time demanded the death penalty, she isn't bound to him. There has to be a balanc...

Re: Can anyone tell me more about the Holdeman Mennonites?
That's why new communities are starting up in rural areas in other states where land is still affordable. But with living out in the middle of nowhere comes the problem of less people to sell your products to. Its hard to believe they could make a living in such remote places. Probably why so many a...

Re: Can anyone tell me more about the Holdeman Mennonites?
And on the other hand, there are many poor horse and buggy communities where families can barely afford to take care of basic needs. When they need to travel to an ailing relative or attend a funeral in another state, it must be a hardship that they may not be able to afford. I wonder if it really i...

Re: Can anyone tell me more about the Holdeman Mennonites?
I think if we have a Christian spirit we enjoy doing for others! There's a satisfaction in it.
