Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
This would be a good topic for conversation in its own right.I’d proffer that Conservative Mennonite culture is better for drawing man towards God and thus fulfilling one’s purpose qua man than is modern American culture, Honduran culture, etc.

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
If no culture is better than another culture, then it's not accurate to use the word "culture" to describe a lifestyle formed by intentional choices to live according to God's will. Right...though I think the term "God's will" needs some elucidating. Is the straight cut coat say...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
A few notes on clothing. I had a friend once that scoffed at the idea of a "suit off a rack" that was mass produced. Too plebian... I had another friend once, NMB, who felt that "dressing up for church" with suits, and dress pants, and white shirts, and such was an extravagant cu...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
I don't know what you are seeing that I am not... The far majority of Plain Anabaptists are in a church that is very similar to their church of 150 years ago, even if it had a different name at one point. There are many things...from straight cuts to teetotaling to no ties to fundamentalist creeds,...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises
Vanishingly few people are in the churches their grandparents or great grandparents are in. That applies to basically every plain ordnung out there including Eastern, Pilgrim, Groffdale, Weaverland, etc...none of which existed 140 or so years ago...
