I don’t know how to get a transcript or know what Copilot is. How?
You can cut and paste a transcript on YouTube.

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit

And what is wrong with that? Take my hypothetical example of a minimum speed regulation that inadvertently excludes the Amish from our public roads. There was no intent to discriminate against the Amish. In fact, no one was even thinking about them when the regulation was written. Yet such a regula...

Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit

Yes, it is extremely well documented that poor Black kids are frequently subject to criminalization for activities that are not criminalized for kids whose are White and middle class. Everything from trivial issues of school discipline to things like walking on the street, driving with a broken tai...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

I'll ask again. No weasel words please. Have you stopped beating your wife yet? Why not simply answer the question with a yes or no? If you refuse to give a direct answer, why? What are you trying to hide? I asked a direct question and you've refused to answer it. Haven't even acknowledged it. That...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

If you call me “reformed” I will expect you to justify it through actual reformed doctrinal sources. I doubt you are familiar with any of them. Fortunately, there's an easy way to clear this up: Do you agree with reformed theology? Yes or no? No. Don’t affirm any of the 5 major points of Calvinism,...

Re: Preparation for Baptism

There is definitely an NT scriptural basis for both church membership and regular church attendance. I’m not sure why so many Christians are opposed to such things.

Re: Preparation for Baptism

I'm open to baptizing someone the same day, or take 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, whatever it takes to get a person ready for baptism. I've never understood why churches feel a need to have a set period of time for baptism preparation such as, no shorter than _____ and not longer than ________. I think...

Re: Worldbook Encyclopedia Censorship Topics

Thanks for the replies. I am aware of the filtered wikipedia file. I guess I'm old school enough that I'd rather see my children sitting on a chair with a book instead of looking at a screen. Maybe censorship wasn't the best word to use in an unqualified sense. I'm not too concerned about reading a...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Arguing against S&T for “reformed” and “Protestant” influence is equivalent to arguing against FotW for “Stone-Campbell” influence. The allegation might be true, but I don’t like how it’s some kind of automatic trump card, and if it is, we should be able to immediately write off a group that app...
