Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
But I'm going to try to answer your question. I put it there because almost no one acts like it's in the first list. We recognize many people as Christians who are not of Anabaptist thinking in this matter - we sing their songs, read their books, learn about and appreciate their life stories, etc. ...

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle
Judging from the fact that I know a minister-bishop who has one, I would guess that some districts have fully accepted them. There is a minority that have explictly accepted them. The rest seem to be powerless to stop it. I have heard there are 3 specific OOA districts that to still discipline for ...

Re: Outlawing homelessness: City of Grants Pass v. Johnson
Dealing with human behavior is complex and simplistic solutions are not easily found. The ability of governments to criminalize behavior typically outpaces their ability to enforce. Often the approach is to make the unwanted behavior more difficult or uncomfortable than other options. It's very eas...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
These problems all got a lot worse during COVID. As a general rule, plain people (particularly the less conservative they are) prefer to socialise with their relatives and don't even think to include their non-relatives in things.
I'm not sure how this problem could be fixed.

Re: Charlotte Shootout
A question though... Is there really no way for law enforcement officers to avoid this sort of thing? It sounds like they eventually drove an armored vehicle right into the house. For example, Could they not use such vehicles to serve the warrant initially, so they would have some protection? Sheri...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
I personally think the program was wasteful but I can also see the forest for the trees and don't have any issues with businesses who took advantage of it legally. The US economy recovered faster than any other developed economy and that enormous injection of dollars was one of the contributing fac...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
Vancouver isn't a particularly wealthy area. But the transit system is better managed and enforced than many in other cities. And the US is richer than most European countries so it more a question of priorities than wealth. Mostly it sounds like you just don't like being around poor people. Which ...
