I'm sorry if you believe I'm lying. Mercy. I assure you that I am not. I think it is only fair that you look and seek before calling somebody a liar. I've seen it with my own eyes numerous times.AndersonD wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 8:00 amIt is fake news, Valerie. Chris is distressed about something that isn't happening in the Mennonite world. I cannot speak for MC USA or people from Russian Mennonite background like the Kleine Gemiende or Holdemans...but I doubt they sue either.Valerie wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2023 6:47 amSo basically you are implying he's making this up, or trying to paint the picture because he won't divulge, it is not credible. Interesting a brother in the Lord would come across as accusatory over something so upsetting to Chris. He's trying to convey his heart on the matter & casting doubt on his word doesn't help him feel better about the concerns he has if people are in denial. It really just adds to one more reason one could be dismayed.ken_sylvania wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 10:57 pm
You have not given verifiable info. It so happens that I have somewhat of a hobby of looking up info on Pacer and have never come across the type of thing you are claiming.
I really don't see what the problem would be with divulging public information on a public forum. The Trickling Springs Creamery scandal got it's own thread here even, as did Jason Shenk. If Mennonite shed companies are suing to repo their rented sheds that's just as much of a scandal as any of these others.
It's really not your business to meddle Scriptural speaking, just believe he's being honest.
This thread is the distress of repetitive elementary sermons & to encourage more in depth spiritual development within churches. Non-resistance is one of those topics, as I've seen member brothers suing people. Often it's not just brothers, it's their LLC. If they can get a non-menno in their LLC, they are in a perfect situation to push it on the non menno.
I am not so sure why this is so SHOCKING to people (lawsuits). There are child molestation cases all through the Anabaptist world. I assure you, if there are member brothers/sisters willing to molest innocent children, there are prominent businessmen who sue/lien non paying customers. It's not so illogical is it? Look for it, you will absolutely be stumped. While both are wrong, I can at least stand next to a person who sues their customers without being fully disgusted.
Lawsuits are sad and wrong, but the person just needs to correct / stop the lawsuitsr. Child molesters I can't ever see them the same again (I can forgive, but it's just.. barf). Becoming hermits in Siberia to live out their lives is a good solution for them.
