Re: Prayer Requests & Personal Testimonies

Sister Sharon Nisly (AKA: Mrs. Nisly from MennoNet, or Anabaptistenigma from MennoDiscuss) crossed over into eternity two days ago (April 18) after a relatively short battle with cancer. Here is her Obituary . Those of us who interacted with her over the years, both on MennoNet, and more extensively...

Re: God Bless the USA" Bibles

APOLOGY: In response to some personal regret and a helpful brotherly admonition, I want to state publically that I should not have used the term "Huckster-in-Chief" in the Thread Title in reference to our former President. This phrase was not central to my concern in the OP of this thread ...

Re: "God Bless the USA" Bibles

Bibles similar to this have been for sale for years. The Patriot's Bible, for example - I noticed that our local Ollie's is flooded with highly discounted copies. True - the content doesn’t surprise me - “patriot Bibles” been around for years. What surprises me is how blatant and mainstream this ty...

God Bless the USA" Bibles

Seems like the former President is now selling patriotic Bibles for just $60 - complete with USA founding documents for cross-reference.

Seems to confirm a lot about the worldview of DJ Trump and his Christian devotees.

Re: State of the Union Addresses

I agree with others - this was more about campaigning than legislating. You don't come out that combative if you are working on legislative compromises. I think Biden succeeded in being more vigorous and clear-speaking than at other times of late - I'm sure that was deliberate. I wonder if he chugge...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

Trump is not the leader of the free world. Neither is he viewed by world leaders as weak. I haven't seen stats on how world leaders view Biden's weakness Grace, especially vs Trump's - perhaps you could share them. I did see a recent Pew Report that says that 53% of the international community have...

Re: Is Trump legally qualified to be a presidential candidate?

Both Biden and Trump will be lame ducks if they win this November. Neither one will be running again in 2028 because whoever wins will be in their 2nd term. I'm sure this is true for Biden - but, based on what I've seen, I'm not convinced that Trump will ever willingly leave office. There have been...

Some are able to remain spry and sharp to their end. Some i’ve had the honor of knowing. Some start losing their faculties young. i had the pain of experiencing. Science is working on it. No quick+final answers to it, not yet. No matter how wanted. I think this is a good point. On the face of it, b...
