Re: The Anabaptist perception towards U.S. Holidays!

Easter isn’t a US holiday and most people don’t get it off. Businesses closed for it is basically something found in heavy Amish areas, plus a handful of places like Louisiana. Ascension Day isn’t either.

Your list is missing Presidents Day, MLK Jr Day, Juneteenth, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day.

Re: "God Bless the USA" Bibles - from our Huckster in Chief

In a past life, I recall a young airman I knew who had an “Airman’s Bible”. It had a prominent American flag on the cover. https://imgs.search.brave.com/mXzwRUMQb0Zugw1OfdctJmSg4MoehMxe4eLHNq74Dno/rs:fit:860:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9pNS53/YWxtYXJ0aW1hZ2Vz/LmNvbS9hc3IvZjgz/NWFlOWYtNGNjNi00/NWQwLTk2Y2MtNTI...

If you don’t want to buy a Bible from Trump, they are for sale many other places - or you can contact the Gideons or your nearest plain church and ask for one for free.

Re: Crumbley Family Convictions and Sentencings

Guns, ammo, and 6 year olds don’t mix. Keep your ammo and firearms stored separately, unless you can personally secure the weapon (such as in a holster) and be accountable for where a loaded gun is.

Guns stored near ammo should be treated as “loaded”.

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper

OJ, here is the teaching from the Catechism of the Catholic Church which is an official teaching document of the Magisterium. I excised the relevant bits but I would also caution that this excerpt is also a part of a larger section and should be read in the context of the whole which is far too lon...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Reroute truck traffic to I-81 and I-270/70/76. A certain poster has assured me that all young people and other vibrant individuals required to run an economy want to live in cities like Baltimore so they can just stay there and be self sufficient, since out in the hinterlands nobody wants to live an...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper

Max,

Could you please point us to official information about just when and how often Catholics are supposed to go to Mass, then?

Re: Books on Anabaptist History and Theology

I vaguely recall some sort of group called Dutch Brethren that existed before Anabaptism did in the Netherlands.

Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

We have a few people here who are openly partisan. They also don’t claim to be Anabaptist at all.

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Slow down, Ken. The replacement bridge hasn’t been built yet. There are already “environmentalists” proposing not to rebuild it so as to reduce “auto dependence”. Which environmentalists? The Key Bridge is on I-695 which is the beltway around Baltimore and is used the truck bypass around Baltimore ...
