No, actually I was referring to the general avoidance of debt, except for land purchase that I see in our circles.ken_sylvania wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 4:06 pmYou have to realize that jahertz doesn't actually mean that - he was just mocking JM for his reference to Menno work ethic.NedFlanders wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 3:47 pmWow!… I guess the rest of us are all 2nd class if all people who work hard descend from ethnic Mennonites!jahertz wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 8:29 am
Is it possible you've forgotten to account for the Mennonite Work Ethic® again?
…
Inconveniently, this particular Sattler graduate has never actually been a member of a Mennonite church, but I see no need to let that stop us from crediting all his success to his Mennoniteness. After all, like all people who work hard, he is descended from ethnic Mennonites.
Beware of “fully funded “and be sure to read the fine print.
Also, student debt is an issue, my oldest daughter went to a Christian college,with rather low tuition, worked like mad, and graduated with almost no debt. It had to be that way, since she was headed to the mission field, hint, significant debt disqualifies you. Youngest went to a school affiliated with GW in dc. Given a full ride, but with conditions on years 2-4. Did not meet those conditions, wound up with a pile of debt, even after we did all we could. Moral of story, if you are given a full ride, read the fine print, and try to find out how many have the scholarship in year 2. You might change your mind.
