Re: Impediments to membership in an Anabaptist fellowship

I agree with most of what you said. While Eastern may not claim in so many words to be the one true church, the actions of many say otherwise. I know countless situations where an adult child chose to join another fellowship and was considered "lost". One couple was bemoaning this only la...

If your children are still n public schools, run.

Somehow, this does not surprise me.

Re: Chlormequat chloride in grains

The last time I had tacos in Europe they were significantly better than the slop served out of various trucks on the side of the road, etc. in America. (In particular the tortillas had been made fresh instead of something out of a bag.) Do you think that was due to the Chlormequat? In any event, th...

Re: Impediments to membership in an Anabaptist fellowship

The seekers I was thinking of actually weren’t looking for a plain church at all. They just somehow got associated with the new church plant when it was very small. And many of these folks become great pillars in Anabaptist churches as they take on the character of the group and did not come with a...

Re: Chlormequat chloride in grains

You think we are simply detecting this sort of thing because we now have the ability to detect it, where before we did not?

In other words, nothing has changed?

Re: Impediments to membership in an Anabaptist fellowship

I am not a member of Eastern nor a defender of their positions. I do however hold to the view that their position of separation and non-resistance is fundamental to Anabaptist thought. I do think there is merit, note I said merit, not across the board they are “right”, that most more liberal Mennon...

I would regard this as near blasphemy, as it places Mary as Co-Redemtrix. This is Biblically unsupportable.

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?

At this point since Boot appears to want to dig his heels in to put down any beliefs that Plain Catholics exist, I would like to note how this thread was initially made. The OP of this thread was made using a post of mine and reply from another thread that had nothing to do with the topic of this t...

Re: Precautions for the next election?

There is the matter that he has been indicted by a grand jury. They will simply assign another prosecutor if this one is removed. The indictment remains. If any other DA wants to pick it up, that is. Another one might decide to dismiss the charges. A prosecutor by nature is not impartial. Their rol...

Re: Precautions for the next election?

Meanwhile, in Georgia, the DA who tried prosecuting Trump turns out to, well, not be squeaky clean. I expect there aren't many people who someone can't find something (real or imagined) against. I expect this is deliberate intimidation tactics showing what happens to anyone who tries to prosecute. ...
