Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Even better, get a two year degree at the local community college, which leads to licensure as an RN. Conceivably that could be done with little or no debt. That is how my wife did it. THAN get your employer to pay for all or part of your RN to BSN program. Many, if not most will do that. Wife did t...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

It is perfectly feasible to borrow $4,000 per year to pay for college and earn another $5,000 per year working part time and during the summers and wind up with a fully paid for nursing degree and $8,000 worth of student loans. That's a creative interpretation of "fully paid for." :) The ...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Bottom line: College has gotten just too expensive to justify the cost and lost years of income. Student debt just so unpalatable that students just don’t see the benefits. Some of the colleges here are names I know. They have hit a place where raising tuition any further results in a diminishing r...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

That is a 35 foot temporary channel. Will close in a few days, in order to get the ship out. 50 foot channel will open May 30th, if all goes well. That is far faster than I expected. All the drawings I am seeing are for a cable stayed bridge. There is even still debate about the name! With the bicke...

Re: Israel is Babylon the Great

If you were to say that Jerusalem WAS Babylon the Great, you would be accurate. The Israel of today is not in covenant relationship with YHWH and hasn't been for nearly 2000 years. For once, we are in complete agreement! Who are you in agreement with, O great Hasmonean? “” The Israel of today is no...

Re: Churches, Dealerships, and Franchises

Flawed as the conservative Mennonite community may be, the finances, emotions, and time invested in trying to help newcomers and their families assimilate into the community stands as a testament to a desire that the new community members will share in the cultural capital of the community. I'm not...

Re: Where are the Anabaptists in the UK?

I love the channel Ready to Harvest. This was a neat and thorough video looking at the very very small number of anabaptist church groups in the UK today. https://youtu.be/BJoTjDCAUDk?feature=shared There are bruderhof comunities in the UK I know. They fled there as well when escaping the Nazis. AF...

Re: Israel is Babylon the Great

Peace to you. First of all, this is not anti-Semitism/racism. The Bible itself does not teach racism. When the Bible speaks negatively about Jews, it refers to Jews who are not Christians, not ethnic Jews in general. After much research, I found out that according to the Bible, Israel is Babylon th...
