Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
.... None of us have the capability to drill our own oil and refine it into gasoline in our backyards and farms. .... Actually, when I was a child, a farmer in our congregation DID refine his own oil, and sold it as well (but maybe not gasoline - I just remember the oil). (His main business was a d...

Re: War in Gaza
I don't think that is accurate. In my experience, the Anabaptist focus is not on defining war. But rather, on defining what is meant by by Biblical teachings on nonresistance. And most Anabaptists equally object to participating in every form of armed conflict against others, whether it is conventi...

Re: War in Gaza
What is war? Is militarizing our southern borders against the drug cartels war? It looks a lot like war. Watch the movie Sicario. What about the predictions of violence we hear about if Trump doesn't win the election? We have even heard people talk about such predictions here. Is that war? Is prote...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
How ridiculous is it that Christians on two sides can come together and exchange presents on Christmas… and then go right back to shooting each other. That Christians from the same family can shoot each other in a Civil War… The answer is obvious. And the obvious answer is ? Christians most certain...

Re: War in Gaza
P.39: If the militants deliberately defy the separation and infiltrate the non-militants (which has been their strategy), then we are just back where we started. And wouldn't self-identifying as a militant be painting a target on your back? Does this justify killing children and bombing churches? F...
