Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

Going electric puts one at the mercy of power outages. This is already a huge problem in California - when it gets hot, my in laws have to endure rolling blackouts once the sun goes down.

Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events

As an aside, I find it really annoying how plain people refer to a “Junior” as if we’re all supposed to know who that is. I have literally been asked, “Do you know Junior?” Junior who? I probably know 50 “Juniors”. Ivan Martin Jr who was ordained bishop shortly after Pilgrim started I just got off ...

Re: The Israeli state?

"Political Zionism and Christian Zionism are anathema to Christian faith ... The true Israel today is neither Jews nor Israelis, but believers in the Messiah, even if they are Gentiles ..." Agree or disagree? Agree… but I like to be a tad cautious before denouncing Zionism as “anathema”, ...

In summary, as Anabaptists we think most other Christian groups which excuse the sword are wrong.

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

In California it already costs more to drive an electric car than just drive a hybrid gasoline car. Kind of a ridiculous situation.

Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events

As an aside, I find it really annoying how plain people refer to a “Junior” as if we’re all supposed to know who that is. I have literally been asked, “Do you know Junior?” Junior who? I provably know 50 “Juniors”. I honestly never knew him by any other name. My wife may know. I'll ask. Sorry to ge...

Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills

How ridiculous is it that Christians on two sides can come together and exchange presents on Christmas… and then go right back to shooting each other. That Christians from the same family can shoot each other in a Civil War… The answer is obvious. And the obvious answer is ? Don’t shoot each other.

It would appear the RNC has also adopted this notion.

Re: War in Gaza

P.39: I think there could have been more separation between the militants and non-militants. If the militants deliberately defy the separation and infiltrate the non-militants (which has been their strategy), then we are just back where we started. And wouldn't self-identifying as a militant be pai...

Re: War in Gaza

Muslims don’t forgive either - so what happens next? Endless feuds and war forever?

More importantly, why does America need to be funding this to the tune of billions of dollars?
