Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
Wife: From the map we saw of where everything took place, it wasn't directly next to the waterfall, but a little upstream. Thus, the danger, although very real, was not as obvious as it would have been if they were right next to the cliff. The signs were there warning people of the hidden danger. Al...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
Goodness, I cannot imagine losing a child in such a tragic accident and then getting charged by the state with criminal neglect. If i experienced the former, i believe i would be so distraught+numb, i wouldn’t care about the latter. Wife: This is what you might think right now, but in reality, a pa...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
If you google their name "Keith and Sheri Newswanger" you will find that there was actually a lot of national news coverage of the event back in 2022 and they now have a gofundme page which has raised them $13,220 so far. I didn't turn up any recent coverage of their arrest. Wife: I think...

Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
Wife: I heard about this. Are the charges negligence related or was there foul play? Not saying it was smart to have her playing unsupervised next to any water, but if it was accidental and they are like any halfway normal parent, they probably payed for it a million times over by now. Then, they sh...

Re: Were they Christians? John 15:13
Wife: I realized after looking into the stories that I got Astor and the strauss's mixed up. I didn't actually see where Astor offered his seat to someone else, just that when his wife got on a lifeboat, he asked if he could get on it too and was told "women and children only." Doesn't mea...

Re: Were they Christians? John 15:13
Wife:There’s always the possibility that the Astors and many other people on the Titanic might have chosen to get right with God while on a sinking ship, and Straus could have chosen to follow Jesus. This act itself, brave as it may be, would not be enough to get someone into heaven, and there are ...

Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events
So, a couple of complaints. Solo, we’re you around when Pilgrim split? If not, that does not mean you can not understand, but realize your gained knowledge is inherently biased by your sources. Bias is inevitable. I can only do what I can do. Speaking with ordained from that time both in Eastern, w...
