Re: Users Online?

Either we're a lot more searchable or the Russian bots are multiplying. Typically we have around 30 - 50 users during the day. But I noticed in the last week or so we're above 100... and we spiked to over 200 a little bit ago. Ideas? AI crawlers trolling the web to vacuum up raw data to feed their ...

Re: Pilgrim Mennonite Conference current events

I heard the other day that Pilgrim Mennonite Conference may soon be disintegrating into several different groups and that their next annual conference will be their last one. Does anyone know whether this is in fact the case? Yes, this is the case. It has been under discussion for some time. At my ...

Re: Anabaptist History Series - 2024

I was thinking it was about time for another one and sure enough there was one last Thursday here for anyone else who missed it.

Re: At the time of death?

Did she mean she saw the spirit itself or she saw when the spirit left the body? A lady at church told me that when her mother died her family was visiting with her on her deathbed when suddenly she waved goodbye and left.

Re: Worldbook Encyclopedia Censorship Topics

I don’t know that I would worry too much about it. We had a set on World Book encyclopedias growing up. There are thousands of boring articles you have to flip past to get to the interesting ones (mostly favorite animals in my case) and there’s nothing that would particularly attract a child’s atten...

Re: Anabaptist History Series - 2024

One thing he said last week was that the proto-Anabaptists rejected infant baptism but they had not yet come to embrace believer’s baptism. What did he mean by this? To me rejecting infant baptism necessarily means accepting believer’s baptism (unless you go Quaker and reject baptism altogether). It...

Re: Can we make MN less hostile?

I was thinking of the many visitors who never join. On any given day if I pop in there are between 15-25 visitors. That's a lot of traffic. I personally know some folks who are seeking and stop here to get a feel for things in various settings. MN is a safe place to do that, which is great. Most of...

Re: Israel is Babylon the Great

Well, I guess that's a question for Lex. Can someone who is not born Jewish become part of the shadowy supersecret international Jewish conspiracy that controls everything if they convert? And more importantly, if I convert to Judaism, do you think they'll let me control something? Maybe something ...
