Re: Easter question
I was always mystified by the Anabaptists who make a big deal out of treating Good Friday as NOT anything to note. I previously relayed the story of the one family that had a roofing business and always picked as visible a project as possible for the day. Do not get me wrong. Within that setting I a...

Re: What do Anabaptists and Anglicans share in common?
I am completely puzzled by this “question”. What do they have in common…….is there anything? Anglicanism is, at its best, a faux Roman Catholicism. At worst, the definition of how bad Protestant thinking leads a denomination into utter nothingingness. By definition it is founded solely by a King nee...

Re: Stress
Clearly the earlier reference to the Jesus in the garden demonstrates stress or anxiety is not alien to the Christian. Even as one faces difficult situations knowing the right answer and pursuing it is not without stress. One’s concern, and stress, for those suffering is compatible with Christian be...

Re: Pathway Publishers
I would take issue with your characterizations. I disagree that the Stoll sons are “blaming women” and that the three periodicals have seen significant change. Frankly, Elmo was less involved lately and his sons, especially Joseph deeply involved prior to Elmo passing. Very unfair attack. I have not...

Re: Is anyone here actually a member in Pilgrim?
I am still a bit confused. So what does it mean to have three conferences instead of one but nothing changes? NOT being argumentative just a bit bewildered. They are conferences not districts, right? I mean a group having districts to organize things like areas of responsibility or preaching schedul...

Is anyone here actually a member in Pilgrim?
If you are and would rather message me privately that is fine too. I am just curious where the split into three conferences sits. I did read in the December Pilgrim Witness that they hoped to “start” in Jan 2025. Will the Pilgrim Witness continue as either a paper for all three, just the continuing ...

Re: Anabaptist Review: Joining the Resistance
I will try this again. No one pays their taxes and has them go for anything. Since the government pays for nothing it spends via a dedicated source of revenue, no one’s payments to the government (be it income tax, FICA, customs duties, or speeding ticker pt fines), you cannot look at any tax as rel...

Re: Anabaptist Review: Joining the Resistance
I am always amazed that in a world of grey, some folks can find the one black and white issue….and be so wrong. The dude that started this thread is flat out wrong. Jesus does not call for us to be war resisters. In the history of the world there was no greater wrong than the Jesus being crucified. ...

Again, not disputing if folks support the Donald over political or social issues. Just perplexed by some deeply religious folks who seem to think he is something he clearly is not.
