Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children

Yet the evidence says that groups who regularly have their children barefoot around horse and bovine manure have better health outcomes. Where is this evidence and is it based on South America or the south region of USA? The evidence I’ve seen is poor in those regions with multiple health problems ...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children

For once Ken and I agree on something. Another aspect that might keep Amish children more healthy is the fact they usually live in less sterile environments, than their non-Amish peers. The fact that they are around horses, other animals, run barefoot, maybe don't bathe as often, etc. builds up the...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children

Nope. I’d fully expect them to say those things even though they are not true. Having had an unvaccinated autistic son, I’m not speaking out of ignorance and I’m very well read on vaccines and autism. You should know I have a strong stance against many vaccines but not all of them. Of course it has...

Growing a beard longer than 1/8"
That is a new one for me.
That is simply a preference for comfort sake. I put 1/8th inch as that is the longest that mine ever gets. :-)
You should make the fence at 1/16th to keep yourself safe from the edge :mrgreen:

Re: The Most "Religious" State in the Country

Not excuses here, just reasons: A. Heavy influence of Mormon culture. B. Only 3-4% of Utah is cropland. Wife: don’t forget that whenever you’re driving through there, people might mistake us ladies for sister wives. Also, there are two and possibly more churches near Salt Lake City/Ogden/Provo, and...

One of my favorite churches to visit is there.

I’m pretty sure I know of at least three Anabaptist churches there.

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

We don’t overly know the context of what he was referring to. He himself references non-resistance as well.
