Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

Single parenthood outside of wedlock is a major epidemic. In some demographics it is as high as 80%. Married people are not the problem.

Re: Church Government Models

In our church women and men vote on ordinations, right down to freshly baptised 11 year olds girls. Ordinations are effectively of a husband and wife together. It is very rare to ordain a single man, and if a wife reaches a certain threshold of being unable to serve or of sin, the husband will be “o...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

A recent topic on MN was whether or not negligent parents should be punished. One of the worst acts of negligence any parent can do is decide to have a child out of wedlock; it has been proven over and over how much worse the outcomes are. Choosing to be a single mother is a very poor choice. If ne...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

One of the worst acts of negligence any parent can do is decide to have a child out of wedlock; it has been proven over and over how much worse the outcomes are. Choosing to be a single mother is a very poor choice. If that's one of the worst, surely divorce is another one. It may even be worse, es...

Re: Church Government Models

The RCC is an episcopal model and explicitly is not a democracy. Regular members have no actual rights to determine much of anything about the church.

Other episcopal models are similar such as United Methodists.

What model has that as a standard feature?
I suspect this may have been an aftermaket option, particularly at Bostitch dealerships.

We moved into house once that came with one pre-installed.

Re: Bunny Trails: Politics

I think that dropping atomic bombs and burning hundreds of thousands of innocent people to death is wrong. Then why not get involved in politics in order to right that wrong? It’s also wrong to kill unborn babies. That doesn’t mean I need to try to use force and killing myself in an “ends justify t...

Re: Calling all car buffs!

Back before we had phones to type notes into when driving, you need other writing utensils to quickly scratch down,
I dunno, the phone number of a lawyer you saw on a billboard. Such an item built in as the OP would seem useful if you were writing an opus on the road.

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?

How do citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven go about getting the kingdoms of the world to stop developing and using nuclear and other bombs against other kingdoms of the world? We can't, but we can speak out about the evil. We can also decline to pay taxes for it. Well, we can’t really decline, other ...
