Re: Amish getting fined?
I saw this on fb- anyone hear of this? New York Democrats have declared WAR ON THE AMISH. Thanks to their unconstitutional attack on religion, they're now able to fine EACH unvaccinated Amish child $2,000 EVERY SINGLE DAY. ⠀ Yes, I read about that situation in the internet, and it is very sad. Many...

Re: Worldliness
Vaping doesn’t involve any more exposure to carcinogenic substances than eating a smoked sausage does. Are smoked sausages more carcinogenic than smoking a Marlboro or a Camel? I’ve read in various places that vaping and smoking carry the same risk of developing cancer. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov...

Re: Worldliness
In context, though, that verse is talking about men having sex with temple prostitutes. If you read it out of context, you can apply it to anything from living a sedentary lifestyle to overeating to choosing not to wear nice clothes and makeup to honor the temple of the Holy Ghost like they did the...

Re: How to keep the younger generation involved in farming...
I think the world needs wholesome, healthful food more than ever. Growing produce locally is far more sustainable than importing it or trucking it halfway across the country. This statement is more relevant than ever. With the disastrous war in Iran and the looming diesel crisis, local production i...

Re: Worldliness
And the greatest irony of all is that the Roman Catholic Church claims to have been founded by an apostle who was a married man not to mention the fact that priests were permitted to marry right up until the Council of Lateran in 1127. The Roman Catholic Church continues to have married priests rig...

Re: Worldliness
Wow, the conclusions folks make. Explain how use of alcohol is forbidden? Or how the Catholic practice of celibacy is either unscriptural or forbidden. Note, I am not arguing celibacy is REQUIRED, but if a man is not married should he not also be celibate? It is clearly desirable for an unmarried m...

Re: Worldliness
Other than the vaping, I discussed these things with the various members doing these things and heard all manner of justifications, including citing that the Bible doesn’t say you can’t do these things; it actually being morally justified to do so; and concern I might be falling into “legalism”. Re...
