Re: What missions are you supporting #2

I would also agree that long term is vague. Seems like most commitments I see aren’t any longer then 3 years.

I don’t even get a feel of a church in 1 year…

Adoniram Judson seemed to look down on it substantially too..

You want a subjective answer? Or an objective one?

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

Maybe the problem here isn't the phone but the car. If he was reading sports scores on his phone while riding an Amish buggy I doubt he would have accidentally swerved into the oncoming lane and caused a crash. The difference there is he would have died rather then killed. Still breaking the law. M...

Re: Service Agreements

If you know someone who can repair, I wouldn’t. Most common problems are manageable.

Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events

Apparently, if I remember right, Swatara was more lenient on standards on what cars that members can own. And the Shirksville folks considered them liberals because of it.

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022

Another interesting topic is how historically peaceful churches loose non-resistant position during the armed conflict. As far as I know the marority of (ana)baptist and Mennonite Brethren churches in Russia are staying away from the conflict and their draftees are chosing alternative civilian serv...

Re: Russia Invades Ukraine 2022
