Re: Modern day Anabaptist perception towards postcards, handwritten letters, snail mail, etc?

I still write an occasional letter by hand, mostly to my mom, but my handwriting is horrific, not only because I am left handed, but also because I quickly get hand cramps and then my writing is shaky. (Some days I can hardly write out a check clearly.) So while I still do a lot of hand-written note...

Re: Modern day Anabaptist perception towards postcards, handwritten letters, snail mail, etc?

"Stamp it up" was some MLM that used to be popular but doesn't seem to be catching on with the younger generation. When people want fancy wedding invitations now they pay to get it done online, it seems. I see more and more young Amish women creating all of their own invitations, name car...

I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't. You might even look like a cop, as many of them shave their heads. Or military.... I used to be really opposed to guys shaving their heads (for women, still am) because of the association with the whole white supremacy - skin-head deal (goatees for the...

Re: Justice

I would suggest that, along the same lines as Josh's reasoning, the relative danger of violent death for any certain individual is acutely influenced by what places they commonly find themselves, and also, I would add, if they are alone, or in a group.
