i still have to print, if someone requests.
The free electronic method is the quickest, easiest, and cheapest. Usually a public library can print out something at a very low cost.

Re: Poll: Jewelry, Rings, and Bands

My reading of the NT is not wearing jewelry of any kind, but I don't want to impose that on others or judge others. We didn't do wedding rings, but my wife wore a gold ring from her grandmother for many years, and I didn't bring it up, but just mentioned my opinion when the topic rarely came up.

I expect there aren't many people who someone can't find something (real or imagined) against. I expect this is deliberate intimidation tactics showing what happens to anyone who tries to prosecute.

Re: Please pray for Meg

Thank you everyone for your prayers. Yesterday, Meg was almost her normal self, with most of the mental confusion gone. However this morning she started to have repeated seizures and I wasn't able to wake her up in between them for her seizure meds. So I called the ambulance and she has been in the ...

Re: Why did you come?

If you are from non-anabaptist background, what is it that drew you to the anabaptist? God's call on my life has been intentional Christian community. The first one I was part of, Jubilee Partners, had one Mennonite member and occasional MVS volunteers, so I learned about Anabaptism a bit. The next...

Re: Please pray for Meg

Please continue to pray for us. Meg fell again a couple weeks ago and they had to do surgery on her neck. It's healing up well, but medication changes have put her in a distressed psychotic state. Been to various medical folks and are driving down to Peoria for a neurology appointment tomorrow.

Leggings for men are becoming more common, so similar. Haven't seed cod pieces except in costume situations. Leggings don't interest me, but I'm happy to see variety.
