in your opinion, what does it take for you to consider a website to be slimy?
Slimy as in "sketchy" or "shady"?

Re: Why are you a plain Mennonite / Anabaptist?

Sounds like a good story :D With what group do you fellowship now? Max, their is another thread (supposedly) all about Steve's search for a new fellowship. Thank you, I must have missed it, forgotten it, or somewhere between the two. It's been a busy month ;) :up: We were attending a KMF church for...

Re: Why are you a plain Mennonite / Anabaptist?

Well, let me see... my family attended a Church of God until I was about 12. Then we attended a mid-stream Church of the Brethren. I was there until about 16/17 when I began to form some convictions of my own on the head covering, dress, TV, etc. I started visiting local plain churches (both Brethre...

Re: Okay ladies, your turn!

OK but this is how I sees it. I would say the cape dress is unnecessary. I wouldn't go as far to say its unnecessary. I will say it is not the only way to modesty. What the cape dress has become is a cheap, quick and easy way for church leadership to control how the women dress. Require the cape dr...

Re: Transition to a more *liberal* church??

There are some things I really miss about a more liberal environment. There are also some things I really miss about a more conservative environment. For example, I'd love to have a conversation about church without my counterparty mentioning within a few minutes that our sisters' clothing is too r...

Re: Transition to a more *liberal* church??

If you're planning to transition to a more liberal church, you'd best get used to this kind of discussion and it being tolerated. There'll be a lot of it in your future. Trust me, brother.
