Re: Sattler College Turmoil

One more word, in my view the issues were primarily due to governance problems. I don't blame him, but in short Finny's power economically, positionally at Sattler. And spiritually, at FoTW, put in place some unhealthy power imbalances in those respective spheres because they all touched each other...

Re: The new fight against "Christian nationalism"

You may be right Petr, that a look at the politically progressive mind might help one understand much about the opposition to Christian Nationalism within society...I just don't think you will find many insights into why non-conformed Anabaptists oppose Christian Nationalism there. In fact, the Anab...

Re: Does the "Charity Church" really exist anymore?

What is RNC? I believe you used to be the president of that denomination’s Bible school. RNC - All I could think of was the Republican National Committee. :D Maybe it is a mental block - I've never been a fan of the new name and its distance from its Anabaptist roots (although I'll admit the "...

Re: Does the "Charity Church" really exist anymore?

Over the time that Charity imploded about 15-20 years ago or so... I should have said, Over the time that "the Charity movement" imploded... I'm not sure what actually happened at Charity Leola. It split into Charity CF and Ephrata CF. I only know people nowadays who would attend the latt...

How Social Media Works

Saw this on Facebook - reminded me of MennoNet 8-) 8-) : How Social Media Works [/b]ME: I prefer mangos to oranges. RANDOM PERSON: So basically what you're saying is that you hate oranges? You also failed to mention pineapples, bananas, and grapefruit. Educate yourself. I'm literally shaking

Re: Prigozhin Attempts to Take Charge

Quickly changing, indeed. I wonder again: was Prighozhin bought off with property and/or cash? When you’re an oligarch does a little more of that stuff matter? I’ll offer this sketch: Prigozhin started all this because of his pride and ego. It looks almost like he got what he wanted out of that: he...

Re: Prigozhin Attempts to Take Charge

The short-term consequences of the Wagner Uprising might be helpful to Ukraine in that it will weaken Putin and distract his resources away from the war. Putin's unprovoked war against its neighbor is proving very costly indeed - the law of unintended consequences coming home to roost. In the long ...

Re: If Trump deliberately hid classified documents.

Trump is a man who has lived his life as one above the law. Is it any wonder that this pattern is catching up to him? The Republican brand is suffering under the weight of Trump's lack of integrity (even relative to DC's already low standards)...they would do well to find a way to cut ties with Trum...

Re: ChatGPT Summarizes the Tenets of Anabaptism

I think Josh is onto something in his observation that advocacy for the principle of Religious Freedom for all is likely a ChatGPT overreach. As a persecuted people, Anabaptists wish for religious freedom, we have sought out places with religious liberty, and we (non-coercively) advocate for our ri...
