Re: Photography Sinful ?

We just interpret the text simply when it says “make no graven images”. Exceptions abound for “business use”, which I personally find questionable. I am more concerned about the graven images of Washington, Jackson, Franklin, et al , which many people worship for both business and personal use. It'...

Re: Political office

Or critical medications for shut-ins? Did I say something that made you think I would oppose this? If you deliver the mail your job is to deliver it, not read other people's mail and judge it. You may not know this, but many would also refuse to work at certain retail stores. Why? Because of the ha...

Re: Political office

Does it, in the thinking of the denizens of this august group, violate the historical convictions of Anabaptists, to aspire to and/or assume a state legislative office? And, of course, why? Clearly it does violate the historical convictions of conservative Anabaptists, as clearly evidenced by the d...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Maybe the availability of other universities nearby helps with labs etc. that Sattler then doesn’t have to supply. Which, if Sattler was out in the sticks, real estate is cheaper, but these other resources wouldn’t be there.

Re: Poll: Who will win 2024 Presidency?

I’m blown away with how much my grocery bill is too. It is nuts how much it has increased. A growing family of 9, coupled with steep inflation, adds up to astounding increases each year.

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Maybe owning your own facilities isn’t a benefit at all in terms of expenses. Even if there is no mortgage, the maintenance costs are probably astounding. Consider the other end of the spectrum, remote internet model, not physical space. Professors and students log in from their homes. This model i...

Re: They call it a NEV -- a Neighborhood Electric Vehicle

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises

Reminds me of- Hypocrisy is the compliment that Vice pays to virtue. If you are so obsessed with avoiding hypocrisy, all you really got to do is not stand for anything. But if you’re gonna stand for virtue, if you’re gonna strive for it, then at some point, inevitably, you’re gonna fall short if the...
