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...

Re: War in Gaza
If the militants deliberately defy the separation and infiltrate the non-militants (which has been their strategy), then we are just back where we started. And wouldn't self-identifying as a militant be painting a target on your back? You might be right. At the least, Israel could separate the wome...

Re: Charlotte Shootout
When our military clears houses in Iraq or Afghanistan, often the lead guy faces extreme risk of death due to being the first guy in. Making an effort to identify friend or foe before shooting increases the likelihood of getting shot. Hypothetically, if they had an armored car, what would they have...

Re: War in Gaza
You think they are just going to pack up and move north because some Palestinian mothers ask them to? I think there could have been more separation between the militants and non-militants. If the militants deliberately defy the separation and infiltrate the non-militants (which has been their strat...
