Re: Worldbook Encyclopedia Censorship Topics

I wasn't able to find contact information, but there is a conservative Mennonite guy who downloaded Wikipedia onto a flash drive and censored topics conservative Mennonites find objectionable. It costs around $120. Samuel Hoover. Home Office Resource. I have both his address and email, and will sen...

Re: Never have I ever.... Part 2

Our first use of email was through the mission center office account. We would take a diskette up to the office with a text file on it. The secretary would copy it into their computer and send it. Messages were automatically sent & received via an international telephone call twice a day, at noo...

Re: Never have I ever.... Part 1

I cannot say no to these either: Listened to a bakelite record. Listened to a recording on a cylinder player. Listened to a record on a wind-up phonograph. Listened to radio programs broadcast on short-wave. Listened to a recording on a reel-to-reel recorder. Listened to music on a player piano (in...

Re: Discipline vs. Motivation in your Christian walk?

I'll tell this story: a former employer (owned a construction company) was in his mid-50's and suffered a heart attack. Not serious, but nothing to sneeze at either. Anyways, doctor told him he needs to start exercising regularly to improve his cardiovascular system, or next time he wouldn't be so ...

Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.

If there was still any sense of moral decency left in the world's governments, ALL pornography would be against the law. Period. It is abusive to the core, an insult to every woman and girl. And something that injures the soul of every boy or man.

Re: The danger of “LGBT” teachers.

I am only familiar with one GSA chapter at one school. But at that one, there was a great deal of encouragement to explore sexuality, and members of the chapter were exploring their sexuality with each other. And parents were not even aware that their children were part of this. I really do see tha...

Re: Browser for Windows 7?

Did you really attend a Microsoft workshop that said not to install security updates? I’m unclear on what exactly your “security procedure” is. The biggest risk in this day and age is out of date browsers. I cannot say that the speaker (a Microsoft representative whose job was testing on-line secur...
