Re: Election Interference
Again, Dr Epstein said they adjusted their algorithms so it is not so blatant. He says there is some bias now but small and mostly down ballet candidates. They know they are being watched so they are being very careful, especially with a Supreme Court case about this very thing going on. You should...

Re: Questions about Communion / Lord's Supper
1. How often do the Anabaptists groups that you know practice "Communion"? (Weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly). In my church, monthly. Footwashing is twice a year. 2. Do different groups do different things with Communion? Like, do they do the bread first, then the wine, then they take u...

Re: Questions for Anabaptists: Theologically Conservative or Evangelical
How does your church address the symbols of headship order, including men uncovering their heads during worship gatherings, but more likely addressing the practice of women covering their heads during worship gatherings? This is not directly addressed in the 1995 Confession of Faith. Some women do ...

Re: Why aren't Mennonites Constantinian?
Mennonites believe in the gospel that Jesus preach - the gospel of the Kingdom of God. They aren’t lost in a salvation or a social justice gospel. Being citizens of the heavenly country Mennonites don’t join in an unequal yoke with kingdoms of this world and so have a drastically different view tha...

Re: The Supreme Court and the Internet
I was talking about Matt Taibbi’s release of the “Twitter files”. Taibbi is not right wing. These claims have been going through the courts, and I think a lot of them have not held up well. The "Twitter Files" were released by Elon Musk in a coordinated publicity effort. They were not obt...

Re: Election Interference
Looks like people have actively discussed the mental health of both candidates. Not surprising. Google Search shows you this discussion. The calm is that Google and facebook suppress results for candidates and that facebook sent reminders to vote to democrats much more than republicans. I took some...

Re: Why aren't Mennonites Constantinian?
On the other hand, those who don't study history ... FWIW, I really liked this Audiobook, which my library has on Libby: The Great Ideas of Philosophy, 2nd Edition Daniel N. Robinson It covers the broad sweep of the history of thought, including the Middle Ages, which it covers well. Very entertain...

Re: The Supreme Court and the Internet
An easy way is to subpoena a company’s business records in the event of a dispute and find out if there is intentional bias. That is indeed what happened at Twitter. I think there's more than one take on what they found - right-wing media reported this quite differently from other media. For instan...

Re: Why aren't Mennonites Constantinian?
I think it was Renaissance thinkers who called it the Dark Ages, but a lot of modern scholars think we have to take these Renaissance thinkers with a grain of salt. Based on my Internet sleuthing, the term “Dark Ages” originated with early Renaissance scholar Petrarch, but it’s not a fair or accura...
