Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

Certain Mormons request access to baptise by proxy my grandma, and my mother keeps on not granting permission.

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

Another thought - Well, we DID meet, that time you came to Berlin..... That's true :) So that makes 1. Then along a different line, I also say I'm Dutch Mennonite when wanting to make a distinctive reference to the Dutch "baptism-minded" as distinct from the Swiss Brethren heritage and tr...

Re: Poll: Putin and Ukraine

Honestly, the port and buffer against NATO seem like the only legitimate claims from a secular perspective. We can argue all day over what NATO was intending but I listened to his speech on weapons and it was a fairly logical case for invasion. De-nazification? Yeah right… To be fair, Ukraine has o...

Re: MennoNet and Genealogy

Genetic records are something different. If you do something like 23&Me you should probably be aware of how your unique genetic records are going to be used. You should also be aware how any of your relatives who signed up for 23&Me will have their unique genetic record used, which can easi...

Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

So we've narrowed it all the way down to single adults who get pregnant? We aren't worried about teen pregnancies or any other cause of single parent households. Just single adults who choose to get pregnant? I narrowed the scope so that you would stop muddying the waters. Ken, I feel like you argu...

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.

Re: "Give to whomever asks you": voluntary speeding fines

Wife: Could you just email them to say that one is broken? you could even volunteer to pay for it to get fixed if you’re super motivated. Email the city of Cleveland to tell them their speed camera that gives fake citations is broken? :lol: surely they have some sort of contact number or email or s...

Re: "Give to whomever asks you": voluntary speeding fines

I think it’s a good idea to pay these. Especially if the amount they are asking for isn’t egregiously out of sync with the crime. For example, if they asked for ten thousand dollars, and you don’t have it, it is in no way whatsoever bad to just ignore the request. It piqued my interest, particularl...
