My Mennonite ancestors on both sides made a good living selling their crops into the war effort during both world wars. So much so that they were able to expand their land holdings through war profits. That didn't diminish their standing in the church in the slightest. Did they specifically have th...

I'd like to primarily hear from conservative Anabaptists, but others can feel free to chime with thoughts and questions. The discussion about working as a mail carrier, notably the comment about having to deliver morally objectional material, brought up this question in my mind. Are there any other ...

I’m blown away with how much my grocery bill is too. It is nuts how much it has increased. A growing family of 9, coupled with steep inflation, adds up to astounding increases each year. The majority of items for sale in my own grocery store are things we never buy, or only buy very rarely. It has ...

Maybe owning your own facilities isn’t a benefit at all in terms of expenses. Even if there is no mortgage, the maintenance costs are probably astounding. Consider the other end of the spectrum, remote internet model, not physical space. Professors and students log in from their homes. This model i...

I don't get why people pack out the courtroom in cases like this. Not to mention testifying "he would never" when he actually did. It gives the impression that "we" think "we" are, or should be, above the law. There are better ways of supporting the accused. Watching s...

Another reason I think that Trump amazingly has a shot at winning is just how badly Biden repeatedly shows his age. It is embarrassing that the most prominent nation on earth has a president that reads out loud what are supposed to be cues from the teleprompter with a blank stare that makes it appe...

That means the next four years will mostly be a caretaker government run by either Biden's executive branch appointments (and we already know who they are) or Trump's executive branch appointments (who we do not yet know). Most everything else will just be for show. Congress will mostly be in charg...
