Re: Mens/Brothers Meetings?

Re: Instruments in Church service
I'm a bit late to this thread but one thing I've noticed in churches like Weavertown and others retain their acapella worship but sing contemporary music in that format. One service I listened to online sang Hillsong's "10,000 Reasons" acapella. I don't know what to make of that.

Re: Cap/Kapp to Veil - Church Change
My particular church has a lot of black members and it's hard to maintain healthy black hair under a kapp whilst keeping it clean as well. (Black hair is much stiffer and more frizzy and needs much more oil to keep healthy without cutting it. It's hard enough to keep under a veil, it usually needs t...

Re: Cowboy Culture
Almost all of "Cowboy Culture" is mythical, constructed in the last century by John Wayne and Hollywood. Most cowboys were dirt poor and worked for larger landowners, so they never had the independence they're shown to have. Nobody wanted to be a cowboy, the lifestyle was only glamorized ...

Re: Do you put up a Christmas Tree?
Wreaths and paper snowflakes are nice. When I was young I never saw the appeal of the tree except for hanging lights on.

Re: Responding to Accusations Against Anabaptists
I'm curious, where do most of these accusations come from? Do they come from non-Anabaptist Christians, or from the Charity branch?

Re: Is it possible for a professional athlete to be a Christian?
In my experience, and this isn't to show any disrespect, but a lot of church elders have differing ideas of what constitutes playing a sport "professionally." I know FOTW discourages any sports or exercise considered "organized" which can mean different things to different people...

Re: Why don't Mennonites Run Hospitals?
Go for it. You misunderstood, I'm busy enough. I was thinking perhaps I would come up with the idea and someone else would do all the work. But I’d guess you could get all menno staff while you’re at it. I’m from the middle of the southeast, not exactly the heart of mennonite or Amish country, ;) y...
