Do you go into pizza restaurants and start blowing and bellowing to everyone in there, how it should really be a taco restaurant? :lol: This isn’t a private restaurant it’s a public space so far as I know. What the heck kinda talk is this? You guys claim spaces around here? If so, I’ve got a bridge...

I am not the one presenting fringe views. He attacks our church, our history and our views on baptism. Remember, that this is a MENNONITE discussion forum. This I will defend. Are you trying to take this space over? Sure looks like it. You’re doing a poor job defending it. Take this space over by f...

If you have no firm beliefs, you are fine anywhere. Just sit in a circle and sing Kim by ya. Everything will be ok until lunch, when the vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians and glatt kosher people get into a tussle. Sooner or later, you gotta make a choice. I have made mine. One can have a firm belie...

They...

Can you be more clear on what "mythological history" you are speaking of? The history of Anabaptism is not fairly well defined, and mostly by impartial observers who are not Anabaptists themselves. JM's perspective is one from growing up in a culturally and ethnically Catholic place. He h...

Honestly, I think my beef with Anabaptism is my own personal affair. I don’t think Eric Voegelin or anyone else expressed such a hateful attitude as I have towards its medieval dogmatic hatreds. As for its birth as a movement being inspired by egalitarian dreams of communal life based on monasteries...

I think I’ve made my view of anabaptist historical mythology clear already, in fact, I think JM described it fairly well. There's nothing "mythological" about it. It's established history. What parts do you assert are myths? The parts I already said before. If and when I’m ready with more...
