Re: Church Government Models
Is there a name for governments that require leaders to have a certain level of moral character such as is listed for elders and deacons in the Bible? :lol: In practical terms, most democratic governments don't put requirements on their highest offices of the land due to the problem that... someone...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy
When talking with people who use the English word 'Dutch' to refer to what in the language itself they call 'Datsch', I say 'Holland Dutch, not PA Dutch'. But THEY are the ones who are using the 'wrong' word - that's not my fault, and I don't mind 'educating people', if they want to listen. As an A...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
This thread is meant for discussion as detailed in my original post about parents who choose to conceive a child. Anything else is off-topic. You claimed that people who choose to conceive a child out of wedlock are criminally negligent due to the harm that befalls children who are raised in single...

Re: War in Gaza
There isn't an equivalence between "Israel" and "Hamas". But there certainly is an equivalence between "Hamas" and the current coalition party, which includes political parties that call for the extermination of Arabs and have anti-Arabism as one of their founding polit...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
It is a driven tunnel,using a boring machine. It is the ventilation structures as well the “we were not consulted “ line, in spite of meetings that have gone on for a five year period. I heard Al Sharpton is involved, so it is almost certainly a shakedown for cash. And then we see the real reasons ...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
Assumes facts not in evidence. Many people seek to adopt for the same selfish reasons as those who seek to have biological children. In addition, many single parent households are loving and safe homes. And many adoptive parents are cruel and abusive. Those are the facts. As I keep repeating over a...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?
Yes, what specific act are you proposing to make criminal. How would your new law actually read? What is your definition of "choose" Are you going to prosecute any single person who becomes pregnant? Re-read what I said. The question was "should negligent parents be punished by the l...

Re: "Give to whomever asks you": voluntary speeding fines
So even if the fine is technically voluntary does the ticket go on your driving record or become any kind of public record? No. The only thing it could ever affect is if you want enter into a contract to do work for the city. They could use the fact you didn't pay it during contract negotiations. (...

Re: War in Gaza
Many people view the Israeli government's actions over the past few decades as also being terrorism. So we have two terrorists fighting each other, Hamas, and the IDF. That's a bad situation. Neither side is justified. I am not one of those many. I think this is a great distortion of the facts. The...
