Those of you who think the house of Saud is making major cultural changes are simply wrong. I know many Saudis. My Arabic is poor, my wife and one son’s are fluent If you talk to people you realize the religious extremists do not need t9 be the majority, just a sufficient number to keep the nation l...

I was clear I hve no objection to those that view Good Friday as a normal day, and those that view it as a holiday. Did you hve trouble with those simple words or does your virulent anti Catholicism blind you completely. I objected to their choice of how to use the day to “shove it in the face” of t...

Eastern suffers from too few.

Finding the right mix and how one can even make that happen is beyond me.

If I recall Lex was an anabaptist for a week
How about you go a whole month before explaining revelation to me?
No tin hats please.

I confess, I had not given deep thought to Charity (my experience was the core one ) in years. I presume that both Denny Kenaston and Mose Stoltzfus have passed away? I knew many non Amish homeschool types who joined or flirted with Charity. I was always uncomfortable with the group based on how sup...
