Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
Our local fire companies do a lot of spaghetti dinners, chicken pot pie, ox roasts, food truck events and such like. Their biggest hurdle is getting help for these things.

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
No plain Anabaptist would be OK with being a professional athlete. Most conservative Anabaptists wouldn't be OK with amateur sports like playing in college or the Olympics. Most (but not quite as many) conservative Anabaptists wouldn't be ok with organised sports at all. Generally, groups that are OK with organised sports are transitional groups that are on a trend to become more worldly, and will eventually embrace watching professional sports on TV, if they haven't already.

I don't think anybody has commented yet on to what extent CAs would be OK with being an internet service provider. Could this be considered similar to any other IT job - selling and servicing computers and networking?

Wow. That would be a tough one for me personally. If I started such a business, I think I would feel morally responsible to put some sort of filter on it.

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"

What about the Hornings and Joe Wengers and their baseball leagues? Or is that not a thing anymore?Josh wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 8:30 amNo plain Anabaptist would be OK with being a professional athlete.

I don't know much about them. My statements were generalisations - the more conservative the group, the less comfortable they are with organised sports.steve-in-kville wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 9:19 am What about the Hornings and Joe Wengers and their baseball leagues?

That was huge when I was driving Joe Wengers around in the mid-90's. Summertime it was baseball, winter was hockey. I even watched a few games and they took it pretty serious.Josh wrote: ↑Wed May 01, 2024 9:20 amI don't know much about them.

Re: Occupations that are uniquely objectionable to Conservative Anabaptists
Which would really mean that you couldn't offer the service. The CA-run ISP I know of is an actual service provider running fiber, wireless transmitters and towers, and receivers and routers on the client end, broadly serving whole geographical areas as an alternative to DSL & cable options and also for areas that have no other broadband service. Due to that last bit they are also a recipient of government subsidies. The owners are Pilgrim Mennonite Conference.
