Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?

Conservative Anabaptists, generally speaking, do not care about party level goings on such as whoever is in charge of the RNC. I don’t even know who my local county level Republican Party chair is. You might as well try to get you average Republican worked up and concerned about, say, the direction ...

Re: Lying to Mennonites

do you agree rape, rape of the vulnerable, is violence? i agree with this. also, that the legal definition of rape of children isn’t conditional on penetration? i agree with this. the CAM threads got into these many questions, esp with Anabaptist views.

There might be fewer Republicans here than you think.
Personally, I think the establishment Republican institution is hopelessly corrupt and the sooner it’s gone, the better.

Re: Lying to Mennonites

In any case, I don't think sex offenders are restricted from trying to find employment (although frequent traveling between states does sound suss). At the end of the day, I hope most of us would want sex offenders to be employed, not unemployed. i don’t think it’s a matter of strict shunning. Unfo...

Re: Chemtrails May Be Banned in Tennessee

Neutrons have a half life of just 10 minutes, and protons 16,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.

Bad news: neutrons and protons are in everything. Even in you and me.

Re: Lying to Mennonites

There’s quite a lot written on it. One example: Sex Offenders After Prison: May They Attend Church? https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/criminal-defense/sex-offenders-after-prison-can-registered-sex-offenders-attend-church/ Would Jesus have invited a sex offender to church? Or the apostles? I would ...
