Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
I don't think anybody has commented yet on to what extent CAs would be OK with being an internet service provider. Could this be considered similar to any other IT job - selling and servicing computers and networking? Wow. That would be a tough one for me personally. If I started such a business, I...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists

If you want the thing that is being raffled off, buy it somewhere. Yet, the model works, and our local companies have a constant flow of r...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
Fire Dept - depending on the area, some fire departments rely on raffles, bingo, tractor pulls, etc for fund raising. Also some require life insurance for their members which most conservative Mennos find objectionable. This is where I must disagree. I have no problem buying gun/raffle tickets full...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
Did conservative Anabaptist businesses take advantage of the Federal COVID PPP loan and loan forgiveness program? I don't know the answer to that question but your mentioning of COVID made me curious. And if so, were there religious objections to doing so? I know of some that did but I believe that...

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
As far as I know, my grandfather sold his grain for the highest price he could find. Which was usually (but not always) the local farmer's co-op of which he was a member. And when the war came along it was so profitable that they were able to buy another farm. As Upton Sinclair famously wrote: “It ...
