From a Biblical standpoint it's possible to have five husbands, and presumably possible to be divorced by some or all of them.

Something interesting to me is that modern conservative Anabaptists aren't interested in the historic Anabaptist views on these things at all.

I guess we are just basing off of things we have seen then? And if that is the case: The simple fact is, I never see any good fruit from remarriages. Do you think I'm a piece of bad fruit, then?

Your position may be right. But this particular observation isn't really a valid point, is it? The end do...

i appreciate how CM's put as high regard on chastity of males as females. Indeed, although I fear we are starting to lose this. The unchastity of the world around us is seeping in and is becoming a major problem, even for young boys in their early teens. Eventually, we are going to have to get seri...
