Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

It is interesting to me that there are numerous words in the PA Deutsch that are also in Yiddish. I am not sure which direction the ' contamination ' went but I am guessing it was Schwaben Deutsch words that were taken into the Yiddish. Yiddish is influenced by High German, not Schwaben Deutsch. As...

Re: War in Gaza

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

Honestly, the port and buffer against NATO seem like the only legitimate claims from a secular perspective. We can argue all day over what NATO was intending but I listened to his speech on weapons and it was a fairly logical case for invasion. De-nazification? Yeah right… To be fair, Ukraine has o...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

This past week, I've started digging into my genealogy for the first time. I'm using FamilySearch.org and its sub-site RelativeFinder.org Wife: has anyone else read the privacy policy or the terms of service on family search? It’s kind of an odd seeming website and makes me wonder what the Mormons ...

Re: "Give to whomever asks you": voluntary speeding fines

Wife: it seems like something somebody should at least mention to the local police, because even if it doesn’t have legal ramifications, somebody’s boss might not be too happy, and it might not even be the employees fault.

For example, if they asked for ten thousand dollars, and you don’t have it, it is in no way whatsoever bad to just ignore the request. It piqued my interest, particularl...
