Re: Flannel shirts
I hope some day we restore the custom of making men's clothes like we do women's. It is an important part of our lives and something worth maintaining control over. why is making men's clothing an important part of "our life?" Because otherwise we cede control to an industry and a group o...

Re: Classifying political liberals and conservatives
I agree with this, which is why I like Sanders, Sessions, and Trump, and I don't like Romney, Clinton, and Ryan. (Those are my personal biases.) I am sceptical of established government power and in particular global elitism. The problem is that anti-establishment, as an idea, is generally an unpro...

Re: Bible Study References
Easy to say until Josh says the same thing about your fellowship and in which you gave him notice that you didn't like on several occasions at MD. :lol: I've given up trying to diagram that sentence, but if you're referring to a few times I've felt compelled to realign Josh's concept of the ecclesi...

With the old quote & thumbs up system, you could see who appreciated it. I kinda liked that. But I like the heart system better. I just wish you could see who "hearted" it. No big deal, I just found it interesting. Go to User Control Panel, Board Preferences tab, Edit notification opt...

Re: Bible Study References
That is not Ernie's fellowship, and some of their messages deviate quite far from what I consider Anabaptism and conservative Mennonite thinking. Josh, this your opinion only. Please refrain from criticizing others' fellowship messages. As many have reminded you, your generalized statements are far...

Re: Asking for Church Membership??
2. How long should a new believer be discipled before baptism? (For those who link baptism with membership, this is part of the OP question) You mean like they did something wrong and are being punished? Not sure I understand the question.

Re: Bible Study References
I am a slow reader so Matthew Henry's Commentary is very daunting but yet there is some clarity in it that I have not heard before that is rather helpful. I find it hard to focus enough to follow Matthew Henry, partly because of the 300-year-old language. There's a new edition that might help with ...

Re: Favorite Feature
Sometimes, it can feel a little lonely manning your post 8-) against a couple dissenters who are very adamant, and perhaps more articulate. And sometimes you may wonder if the whole world thinks you are crazy. I generally figure they do, and I am. But I've been blessed on a few of those occasions t...
