Re: Presidential elections, for whom are you?

1. Are you voting, why or why not? No, it's not my role as a Christian to participate in the process of electing leaders in the civil government. I have been a fascinated bystander during the process, although I didn't watch the last two Trump/Clinton debates. 2. What do you think will be the outco...

Conservative Anabaptists and Birth Control

Question from this thread Regarding the birth rates: Are people that are calling themselves conservative Anabaptist's restricting the amount of children they have with forms of birth control today? Absolutely. My guess is that the most common methods are what is called "natural family planning...

Amos Fortune, Free Man by Elizabeth Yates, as a family. Been awhile since I read it; a powerful book to read to children. True, too.

Re: What Do You Regret Is Gone From MD?

I really hope some of the people who posted regularly right up until the outage, but who aren't posting now, come back. The longer the MennoDiscuss.com site is just a dead page with no information, the more folks we are going to lose... Right. Hans has plenty of time to post and comment on Facebook...

The bolded part of the story below was news to me and explains why Timo was held in prison in Nicaragua with no explanation ever given as to why he was being held. It is deeply frustrating and saddening to learn this. I encourage everyone who i...
