Who owns it? Is it a non-profit foundation or a for-profit business? It is a for-profit foundation (Not sure why they used that term) owned by a board of 6 or 7 men. @Judas, I wasn't talking about personalized ads from accessing iCloud data. Apple does provide users' data to most government request...

Hello folks, it's been a while since I was here. A fellow employee told me about this thread. A few points in disagreement with some conclusions so far: Compass does not own the information of their Daystar Email users. Their customers have not clicked "Agree" on any such agreement like Gm...

Ernie, I was very intrigued by those 2 men, and I'm now very curious which of the two you are referring to. That's sad about those sour comments from the supposed-nonresistant side. To me the debate was not what it seemed--the non-resistant side had nothing new to say and their perspective of the ch...

In the other thread about fasting, several people said they had never heard a sermon about it. I have heard at least one, and I have heard much encouragement to fast, from food as well as things like computers. No one in my family fasts regularly. My father is diabetic, so he's probably excused. A m...

I know as many as one person who I could (and do) talk to, on the phone or by email, about struggles like that. Or any struggles for that matter. And that one person is not from my church, although he is a Mennonite deacon. Be thankful for a ministry that cares that much. I wouldn't say that the min...

Shook lesterb's hand at about 9:47PM EDT. Ha, we might have seen each other. I think I shook his hand just before you did... Can't remember what time the sessions ended. Probably 5 minutes or less before that, I was in the second row from the front I think. The podium was slightly to my right. :o I...

The question, should we have a separate standard of music for worship--and the resulting question, should or should not all music sung and heard be only for purposes of worship--is one I have thought about and always plan to think about it more. When I raised this question audibly, to some friends w...

I got permission from my filter to post a reply. :) I like a lot of the posts here. A bit of a bitter tone shows through now and then, but seems to be the normal in discussions like this. Signtist, I hear what you're saying. And I agree that this is wrong. Why must the women dress in handmade clothe...
