Re: 130 Mennonites arrested in DC for Gaza protest

Any reason why they couldn't protest legally? Any reason Jesus couldn't have protested legally about the temple abuses? I can't think of any legal avenues of protest that the temple head honchos would have in place. But what law did He supposedly break? He is the Creator, and He didn't put up with ...

It seems to me that we as a nation tend to get involved in other countries' business a bit too much.

Re: Public Displays of Affection (PDA)!

I think it's nice when young and older couples in our church sit with arm around the other. One wife is 92, and needs a lot of help from her hubby. BTW, how might other people know that you're married if you're out walking with your wife? You might be running away with a girlfriend.... :D People pro...

Raisins? On a sandwich?

I have so many questions....
No, IN the sandwich. They would fall off otherwise. :D

Re: Atheists

Your dad had a profound effect on your life. Anyway, I didn't grow up in a home that believed in "witnessing to the lost" verbally. So passing out tracts or putting up signs is taboo and something I don't envision myself doing. Instead, my context is inviting the marginalized including th...

Re: Differences between Holdeman and Beachy Amish

Good to hear that women are getting into pastoral roles even through "the back door'. Pentecostals and Salvation Army and others realized years ago that God blesses and works through women just as He does through men. I grew up with a lady pastor who preached and taught many in becoming Christ...

Re: Mennonite couple charged in death of foster child

The original point was that a spanking doesn't kill a 4 year old. Something else happened. Both of the child’s foster parents had admitted to having physically disciplined the child with a belt during a homeschooling lesson they were having. Belt is not a normal spanking and I fail to see a 4 year ...
