Re: Where are the Anabaptists in the UK?
In my own family lineage, we descend from a line of Quaker preachers, who migrated to PA in the 1700s, who in turn descended from a lady who was married twice, once in Germany and then in England. Her other marriage was to the ancestors of the Anabaptist family known as the Overholts, who also migr...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
Maybe the problem here isn't the phone but the car. If he was reading sports scores on his phone while riding an Amish buggy I doubt he would have accidentally swerved into the oncoming lane and caused a crash. The difference there is he would have died rather then killed. Still breaking the law. I...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
This is a spinoff from this other post . How do we distinguish more important doctrines and practices from less important ones? In my opinion, here are some categories. (1) essential doctrines or dogmas (the Incarnation, the Trinity, the Resurrection of Christ, the Return of Christ, God being Creat...

Re: The Danger of Reactionary Theology
Holdemanns excommunicate everyone who leaves their church. I wasn't aware that the Holdemans do this. More accurately, Holdemans don't believe that one can leave God's church without also leaving God, too. Since they don't view the church as "our church", but rather God's church, they don...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries
This case should be a wake up call to any Christian that we have serious problems with phones when one gets thrown in prison for crime of using them. Any of us who use a phone in a non car safe mode while driving should repent. If that isn’t enough, get rid of your smartphone while you still can ch...

Re: The Danger of Reactionary Theology
I don't see "worth keeping" vs. "optional" as a way to categorize doctrines. I know my church thinks the head covering is worth keeping. But we also think Christians can disagree about important matters, even things that make it necessary to belong to a different congregation or...

Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events
Given how expensive pick up trucks are, I often wonder how much of a Christian spirit it shows to have brand new fully loaded trucks.

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
Interesting. Will your kids go to a Holdeman school? Yes. It is nearly universal that children go to a church school. (If missionaries and the mission is too small to establish even a tiny school, then the mission board will send a teacher for that mission family.) The only exception is (a) someone...
