Cameras

I am looking for cameras for our young teenage daughters. I've been out of this world for too long to even know what terms are used now days and what specs I should be looking for. I would like a point-and-shoot with zoom that takes really good pictures. Something used for under $100. Also intereste...

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 ...

Why does Hamas oppose the pier so much that they will launch rockets at its construction workers?

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...
