Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Of course. Countries act out of their own self-interest. The US and Western Europe care about the Russian invasion because it effects their own self-interests. Just from a security standpoint (without ideals), I think the Russian invasion of Ukraine demonstrates the need for NATO. But I don't think...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

"Eventually" is a long, unspecified time. Unfortunately, Putin demonstrated the need for NATO when Russia invaded its neighbor. We invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. We caused Libya, Syria and Egypt’s unrest. Who is the power that is honorable above all? No human nation will ever follow its ow...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

The other WW3 scenario is that if Russia starts encroaching on other NATO countries. Border incursions into Estonia or Poland or Romania, for example. How will NATO respond to that? I suspect Russia will take other non nato countries first, but war tests treaties and depending on political will… it...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Tide turned a long time ago, but they haven’t lost yet. I don’t expect Ukraine to hold out without boots on the ground from Allies. I think if NATO ends up in the Ukraine, then it's no longer a regional conflict and we might be looking at World War III. I don't think anyone has the appetite for tha...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

This is a legitimate point of disagreement, by which I mean, I understand where the contention comes from, and why people feel the way that they do. And if someone realizes that they are on this side, and Sattler is on that side, it makes sense to conclude that Sattler isn't a place you want to be....

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

It seems this account should also put to rest the popular rumor that FOTW refuses to recognize baptisms by other groups and requires rebaptism as a prerequisite to membership, in the manner of some exclusivist Anabaptist groups. brothereicher, do you want to speak to this? Where they have done so.....

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Beware of “fully funded “and be sure to read the fine print. Also, student debt is an issue, my oldest daughter went to a Christian college,with rather low tuition, worked like mad, and graduated with almost no debt. It had to be that way, since she was headed to the mission field, hint, significan...

Re: Why do Westerners convert to Islam?

Seems like quite a few black male celebrities convert to Islam. Why is that? What are the reasons that attract them? And more broadly, not just limited to black, or celebrity, or male, but other westerners included. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_Muslims#:~:text=Two%20of%20the%20m...
