Re: Problematic Occupations for Mennonites

Sooooo, wedding related stuff is wrong to make for LGBTQXYZ123+!*& people. But to work on their house is fine? To work on the vehicle they will use to drive to the wedding is OK? To sell them food so they can keep living in sin is fine? Do we also ask people if they're self righteous much? How a...

Re: Problematic Occupations for Mennonites

What if we just quit being offended at everyone life choices? Is that even possible? Or just choose a profession where you don't have to cater to the choices of others. Can we have a list of such occupations? Butcher: Can't tie that roast up and trim it pretty like the person asked. And only 6 ounc...

Re: Problematic Occupations for Mennonites

Dunno. I thought for a minute there you were offended that someone would actually quit his job fancying up trucks in order to grow vegetables instead... No. I think it's preposterous that a client would tell him it's mostly a vanity thing, and he stopped providing a service that truck drivers legal...

It doesn't seem like that to me, but I could be wrong.

Re: Problematic Occupations for Mennonites

My reply was strictly on the decal business as that's my perspective. I totally understand some things are a violation of conscience. I just wonder if the list is far shorter than some of us were taught.

Re: Problematic Occupations for Mennonites

I also heard about a man who quit his decal business, because a large part of it was on semi trucks, and was vain; client told him that the only reason people do it, is for pride. Completely asinine. Quit building anything but square houses. And you certainly don't need trim. Anything but cheap ply...
