Re: Your last interaction with law enforcement?

I got pulled over by the cops for speeding on my way to church on Sunday. Oddly enough, in Ohio that is an affirmative defence to speeding (provided you would otherwise be late to church). You're actually covered on the way home from church as well. And if they nonetheless arrest you, they owe you ...

Re: Muslims in Gaza see Jesus in Dreams

So as I said, there are MANY links to the story and you are dismssi g it happened sue to your skepticism and opinio s and interpretatio s. No wrheless. Your lack of faith that Jesus is appearing to Muslums in dreams and has converted many for sometimes ee now is a typical anabaptist lack of faith t...

As I understand it, she was sentenced in September and is currently incarcerated, scheduled for supervised release in late December.

Re: White Privilege?

At least in Pennsylvania, if you go from a conservative Anabaptist church to a liberal church in the same town, the liberal church will typically have much more diversity. Ken, where do you get "Lancaster" or "diverse urban area" from this statement? And even if he had said Lanc...

Re: Dispensationalism, John Darby, etc.

And when visiting an Eastern friend, the preacher mentioned a giant hail ball dropping out of the sky as a precursor to the coming reign. Is there a verse mentioning this in the Bible? Rev. 16:21 And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God fo...

Re: A Lack of Fertilizer and the Haber Process

But some parts of the Law are absolutely impossible for a single individual to keep in a lawless society. I do my best, but I cannot just quit working for a year. Somewhat difficult perhaps, but certainly not impossible. Saving up a little over 15% of one's living expenses every year for 6 years wo...

If they would use potato-based paper (yes, this is a real thing), they could call it the Farmer's Digest.

Re: Coronavirus Outbreak

^^Correct, Robert. i called local pharmacies, IVM was legal but pharmacies refused to fill or supply in any way. Which reminds of haithabu, who abruptly went missing. He was helpful in this topic with IVM info. Has no one heard anything? His last post was October 17, 2021. He was describing differe...

Re: Progressive Conservative Mennonite Churches

Much like the Eastern, BMA has been on (some would say decided) rightward track the last number of years as more congregations joined that were more conservative in nature (think plain suits, no shorts, no ties, no instruments, no TV's), and overcame the critical mass of ex-CMC congregations. That ...

Re: Poll: Saving Paper and...

We put the bacon on the newspaper after frying to drain off the grease Interesting. We put ours on paper towels to drain it and then compost the paper towels. Not sure about food going directly on news print/paper. I've also heard cautions about using paper towels with a printed design, especially ...
