Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
I think that as travel has gotten easier and cheaper it has hurt rather than helped the franchise model. (I'm not convinced the model was good originally, either.) The franchise models I am familiar with still rely on districts to simplify administration. Once upon a time these districts were region...

He didn't include touting miracle-like natural cures, can't be the Budget.

Re: Who killed Jesus?
I think Matt. 27:25 is a beautiful verse. The Jewish people, under the guidance of their leaders, took Jesus' blood upon themselves. They meant to accept guilt. In Romans 11 we are told that God has blinded the eyes of the Jewish people. Could the two verses taken together mean that God has washed a...

Re: Does the "Charity Church" really exist anymore?
I've wished for years that someone would write a well-researched history of the Charity movement. We related some to the movement in the 2000's and early 2010's. Maybe someday I'll take the time to ...

Re: Private School Tuition and Tax Deductions
However the fact that a professional accountant had to actually take this question up with one of the partners at a big firm suggests that the answer is far from straight forward. Or suggests that there are specialties in tax and that a firm that has specialists expects specialized questions to be ...

Re: Voting in elections, grocery store fires, plain Catholics... and a poll!
Ah. Like many other plain and conservative Anabaptist groups, we don’t listen to the radio. Half my cars are missing their radio since we used to physically remove them. I remember riding with a COGICM man ~17 years ago and being impressed the group followed through on conviction to that degree. Sa...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?
I suppose Robert could try to compare IP addresses of posters to see if Max is really Josh's alter ego. Or perhaps we could come up with the conspiracy theory that since Robert has not publicly denied being Max, he is Max.
All in good fun, and no, I am not posting as Max.

Re: Miller Farms fined
Soloist, is that because of prior testing that used fetal cells or current processes? (Not that it makes a difference, just curious.) I object to both. It’s testing, research development and production. Basically I’m not as worried with medications developed prior to 1980 but I have ran across some...
