Re: What the Mennonites got right

Stay at home mothers. I'm sitting in the dentist waiting room receiving compliments on the behavior of my 4 kids.
I think having a stay at home mother is a huge reason for their decent behavior.

Re: Christian Music

In what direction does the music provoke you? What emotions does it bring forth? Could start with that.
As someone raised in and still in an accapella only church, I would feel quite uncomfortable with most of this music.
But I'd be interested in what others with broader experience have to say.

Re: College Education: "us" versus "them"

Lately, there's been a lot of reporting on how the media is out of touch with people who do not have college education. I am also hearing some people express hostility toward college educated people. What are the advantages and disadvantages of a college education? Is it something we should avoid c...

Re: What the Mennonites got right

I think we do good at resisting divorce. We also do well with the headship covering.

Re: Ken Miller - http://millercase.org/

From a comment on one of the articles: We are about to commemorate Harriet Tubman on our $20 bill, for doing what was then known as kidnapping in the eyes of the federal government, while these heroes today are put behind bars for similar actions. - A. Gingerich. It is appalling how depraved this so...

Re: College Education: "us" versus "them"

We're having a winter Bible school, and the one preacher is focusing on creation principles. Last night he spoke about work. It was very obvious that in his mind work means manual labor. For instance, he belittled a man who made a statement about his hands not being made for manual labor. He even s...
