Re: Trudy Metzger/Steve Stutzman

I agree that whoever wrote the article was not being completely truthful with the “Amish” label, although it does appear like they grew up Amish and/or have Amish relatives. What I meant by the “rot goes deep”, is that if you peel back the layers of this case, you’ll find that Amos Raber married a ...

Re: Trudy Metzger/Steve Stutzman

https://www.theprobablecause.com/post/amish-brothers-charged-in-allen-and-dekalb-with-child-sex-crimes I don’t have much to say about this, but the rot goes deep. The rot goes deep, but not among the Amish (in this case, at least). The headline is "Amish brothers charged in Allen and DeKalb co...

Re: Trudy Metzger/Steve Stutzman

This must be on Facebook (which I don't use anymore)? I've been keeping up with stories like these across different contexts for several years since the topic of abuse crossed my own path. Over the years I've come to see, through my observations and experience, that anyone describing themselves publ...

Re: Mount Nebo

I have not been able to learn a thing yet from this thread. Is there any seriousness or is it all jest? The account called "Moses" belongs to someone else who is a poster here. However, the "Moses" account's initial schtick was to pretend they were, well, the biblical figure Mos...

Re: Mount Nebo

Wait, you're not really a bronze age Jewish penguin? To be honest despite the aw-shucks Midianite shepherd act you put on, it's pretty obvious from your accent and mannerisms that you were raised in Egypt. I'm sure it must just be a big coincidence that they happen to be the same as Pharaoh's accent...

Re: How lenient should we be to JohnL?

In all this confusion I called a buddy of mine who calls himself The Geek Interpreter. His expertise is in computers, routers and satellite uplinks. I sent him the link to this thread because the whole thing just confuses me about IPs and the whatsits. He sent me an email with the info explaining a...

Re: How lenient should we be to JohnL?

About two years ago when things came to a head like this with Max I wrote a somewhat long post explaining what I was pretty sure was going on with Max. Rereading that post, I'm fairly confident everything I said is correct and holds up. Here's a short excerpt from that: So what then? We have other C...

Re: The Anabaptist perception towards snakes!

God put enmity between snakes and we women. Easy easy for me to answer this one (but I’m not Anabaptist so not sure if my answer counts) He put enmity between my grandma and the garter snake I caught at her house when I was about twelve. I was told she wasn't too sure about it when I took it home a...
