Re: Argumentative Mennonites
I think it depends on the subject.

Re: Argumentative Mennonites
Would you say that the characteristic of being argumentative is endemic to the Mennonite culture? I have not seen this characteristic so prevalent in other Anabaptist groups, but then I have not met them all.

No. Just in the 0.1%, which is perhaps, over represented online. Most aren’t even online.

Re: Argumentative Mennonites
This is probably why Mennonites are so prone to schism. Does anyone even have a current count of how many different separate Anabaptist groups are even out there? Is there even a master list?

Re: Argumentative Mennonites
No, because we can't settle the argument of who is Anabaptist and who isn't.

Re: Argumentative Mennonites
I don’t think that is why. I think it’s because we can’t agree if a list is a good idea or not.ohio jones wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 1:07 amNo, because we can't settle the argument of who is Anabaptist and who isn't.
