Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged
In that case, it would be more accurate to change this thread's title to "Worldly, non-Mennonite girl, 3, swept over waterfalls, 2 years ago, parents now charged". oh, so you know these people? Based on what mike said, that the family is ex-Mennonite. It just means it would make for a muc...

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?
It continues to baffle me that Trump has as good a chance as he does of getting a second term. It is broadly reported today that he is ahead in the polls in the battleground states as he is in the middle of a criminal trial that could get him jail time . That's because many people (correctly) perce...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
That is a solid point. Let's take alcoholics* for example. I know many folks that go cold turkey and quit entirely, stay sober for a while (dry January?) but with the notion in the back of their head they can go back and drink "normal". They want to be free, but with the option of going b...

https://www.foxnews.com/world/un-revises-gaza-death-toll-50-less-women-children-killed-previously-reported Before anyone jumps in to say that this can't be trusted because it's Fox News, I did confirm this drop in numbers on the UN website. Only 12 756 women and children killed. I guess that number...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
Drug use and addiction is like any other sin: do you want to keep sinning, or do you want to stop? There is a Saviour who does help bring freedom from sin. Often, the addict is willing to give up 99% of their problem, but not 100%, over to Jesus. One fellow I worked with for a while (and a few frien...

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
Ultimately, stopping using drugs isn't that hard. When someone truly hits rock bottom, they'll stop using and get clean. My spirit disagrees with this statement. It could be correct, somehow. It is also unhelpful and in my opinion barely passes the test of Christian charity. Let’s try another examp...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
This discussion is degrading into “the candidate and policies I don’t like are an evil autocrat”. Not a very useful discussion.

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
Last I checked, Trump hasn’t been in power for 4 years and isn’t in charge of much of anything, other than some golf courses. The institutions to control immigration have existed for a while. The point is, those institutions have been basically disabled, because an authoritarian approach has appeare...
