Re: Distinguishing Mountains from Molehills
Liberals deny the existence of any first-tier issues, and make everything a third-tier issue; the result is doctrinal ambiguity. Fundamentalists tend toward the opposite error, and make every disagreement a first-tier issue. My dad used to say that followers of Jesus and liberals appear very simila...

Re: War in Gaza
Has there ever been a war in which a major country has supplied military aid to a country that is going after a common enemy (and destroying a lot of infrastructure and many civilians in the process), while at the same time offering aid to surviving civilians of that state? (on a scale like we curre...

Re: Political office
I think GPT softened Sattler on this. And Hubmaier's statements were apparently selectively sourced as well. Hmmmmppphhhh. I'd really like to have a good article that compares these people accurately on this topic. Do you know of a good one? If not, it might be worth putting some effort into ... I ...

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: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
I am sure with that attitude you're not going to succeed in gaining any closer fellowship and Mennonites are good at not giving into self pity. Try a little more self denial, not looking at self, not expecting anything - but serving. If you don't fit in - oh well - still do the will of God and you ...

Re: Political office
I think there are conservative Anabaptists who work for the public school system? How do they reconcile this with a mostly Sattler perspective? I assume they do not lead anyone in saying the Pledge of Allegiance. My refusal to do so really upset my supervising teacher back in the day ... I'm mostly...

Re: Charlotte Shootout
Let’s consider this scenario, criminal doesn’t respond. What now? You could just text the guy if he is that compliant and tell him to show up at the county jail. But they don't know if he is going to be compliant. Officers could do the same thing that they currently do, or call in more help. But at...

Re: Charlotte Shootout
Is this really how you would want it to go down if you forgot to pay a traffic ticket and ended up with a warrant for your arrest? Traffic ticket arrests wouldn't need to be handled this way. I'm of the opinion that the scenario you are suggesting would only exacerbate the existing police vs. suspe...
