Re: Lying to Mennonites

In most states, sex offenders are required to report to the authorities, register, and avoid areas with children like schools and churches. Failure to do that is, in fact, illegal. You may disagree with such laws, but they are the law. Sex offenders are required to ... avoid churches? Since when? I...

Re: Chemtrails May Be Banned in Tennessee

Neutrons have a half life of just 10 minutes, and protons 16,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.

Bad news: neutrons and protons are in everything. Even in you and me.

Re: Lying to Mennonites

In any case, I don't think sex offenders are restricted from trying to find employment (although frequent traveling between states does sound suss). At the end of the day, I hope most of us would want sex offenders to be employed, not unemployed.

Re: Lying to Mennonites

There’s quite a lot written on it. One example: Sex Offenders After Prison: May They Attend Church? https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/criminal-defense/sex-offenders-after-prison-can-registered-sex-offenders-attend-church/ Would Jesus have invited a sex offender to church? Or the apostles? I would ...

Re: Pennsylvania Leads the Way in Promoting Agriculture.

I have said no such thing. What I have said is that if small towns (and Belleville is just one of thousands) want to thrive and provide opportunities for their young. First of all, you make an assumption that a place like Belleville is somehow not "thriving". From my perspective, it is in...

Re: Lying to Mennonites

Josh you have some very odd stances in regard to sex offenders. The government should put them to death And Don’t report sex offenders. Report them for what ? As far as I know, sex offenders are allowed to try to go and find a job. No one is advocating that we don’t help the stranger or that we tur...

Re: War in Gaza

I think there is truth to this. What I don’t understand is the accompanying callousness that seems to come with it — what to me feels like a shrug about the suffering of the victims of war. To me this feels deeply cynical. The people who say this aren't cynical or callous, but they do get their new...
