Re: Poll: Childhood Trauma

Your dad was involved with that? :shock: That's really interesting. Update: (Look's the Great Emu War on Wikipedia). Wasn't that in the 1930s? Well, the likelihood my dad was in that war is about as likely as anyone here remembers the Blitzkrieg in London. I guess it is possible some people here ar...

Re: Trans student killed in school

REMINDER: This girl was neither trans nor a mass shooter. Give it a break, PLEASE. Stop long enough to think about a young life lost. A grieving family. Friends. The lost potential of what she might have become. How she might have come to Christ for healing and real life. Even the girls who were pes...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper

Here are some questions I have: 1. How often do the Anabaptists groups that you know practice "Communion"? (Weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly). In the Mennonite Brethren church (where I grew up) it was quarterly. In the Mennonite church where we belong now, it is twice. (From what I’ve h...

Re: Trans student killed in school

.... Is there no dress code at these schools? I think boys should wear button down shirts and long pants, and girls should wear long dresses. Sorry if I am quoting the same post again, but I had also wanted to comment on dress codes in the Owasso public school. There was when I was there. Boys were...

Re: Trans student killed in school

Bullying can actually kill or cause serious injury, such as happened to a 15 year old girl. She’ll is a white person in a school district that is overwhelmingly black: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13188503/amp/Missouri-ag-teen-smashed-head-hazelwood-east-fight-tried-adult.html She had h...

Re: Trans student killed in school

Something that really bothers me is that so many people are more interested in how a particular case impacts their own 'cause' - how they can use a girl's death at her own hand to further advance their pet philosophy. This girl was not "trans", nor was she in a restroom not designated for ...

Re: Trans student killed in school

✝️ Although this is what I expected to be the cause of death, I am now very sorry to hear that she took her own life. Her grandmother was her legal guardian, so I wonder what all other trauma she had already experienced in her young life (due to absent parents, I mean). Oh, to protect the children ...

Re: Tell us how you like your steak!

:lol: In that case I would be very tender indeed. Neither I, nor the Banawa, are cannibals. Reminds me of a story. Some background first. The Indian Agency in Brazil has one section called (when translated) "Contact Front". This is the department that manages un-contacted tribes, mostly j...

Re: Tell us how you like your steak!

Is it tender or tough? Like any meat, the younger it is, the better. It might also help to let it "age" a bit first, too.... (Did I really say that?) :lol: In that case I would be very tender indeed. Neither I, nor the Banawa, are cannibals. Reminds me of a story. Some background first. T...
