You very narrowly escaped being represented by Mr. Jordan a few years ago. ;)

Re: If you were Israel's Prime Minister, how would you respond?

Just jumping in here with my 2 cents, I don't see that Hamas has left the Israeli government with much choice but to speedily and dramatically neutralize Hamas and all terrorist functionality within Gaza. Hamas has triggered the hell that Gaza will face (although Israel's long-term lack of creative...

House Speaker

OK - I'll admit it, for many reasons (not least my life and career journey I suspect) I'm an intuitionalist. That being said, as an outside observer, it makes no sense to me whatsoever why the Republican Party would look to Jim Jordan, an illiberal ideologue and proven election denier with a "b...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

With a couple of refreshing exceptions, the Court of Mennonet Armchair Zealots, despite a striking dearth of accurate facts, has clearly arrived at a verdict it is happy with regarding all things Sattler and FoTW. Given the general eagerness to seize upon any salacious rumor that supports the chose...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

One more word, in my view the issues were primarily due to governance problems. I don't blame him, but in short Finny's power economically, positionally at Sattler. And spiritually, at FoTW, put in place some unhealthy power imbalances in those respective spheres because they all touched each other...

Re: The new fight against "Christian nationalism"

You may be right Petr, that a look at the politically progressive mind might help one understand much about the opposition to Christian Nationalism within society...I just don't think you will find many insights into why non-conformed Anabaptists oppose Christian Nationalism there. In fact, the Anab...

Re: Does the "Charity Church" really exist anymore?

What is RNC? I believe you used to be the president of that denomination’s Bible school. RNC - All I could think of was the Republican National Committee. :D Maybe it is a mental block - I've never been a fan of the new name and its distance from its Anabaptist roots (although I'll admit the "...

Re: Does the "Charity Church" really exist anymore?

Over the time that Charity imploded about 15-20 years ago or so... I should have said, Over the time that "the Charity movement" imploded... I'm not sure what actually happened at Charity Leola. It split into Charity CF and Ephrata CF. I only know people nowadays who would attend the latt...

How Social Media Works

Saw this on Facebook - reminded me of MennoNet 8-) 8-) : How Social Media Works [/b]ME: I prefer mangos to oranges. RANDOM PERSON: So basically what you're saying is that you hate oranges? You also failed to mention pineapples, bananas, and grapefruit. Educate yourself. I'm literally shaking
