Re: Dealing with Infractions - Lancaster Conference
The church I grew up in was basically a Canadian version of Eastern. We were well acquainted with predominant Eastern leaders, as they frequently came to our area. Public confessions of misdemeanors were not unusual. I once was caught for violating the church's position on watching movies. I was ask...

Re: Amish/Mennonite Benefit Dinners & Auctions
Fundraisers for regular operations of a private school have always bothered me. It feels like asking the public to help support your private school, which you have freely elected to be a part of, while the public already supports public schools with their tax dollars. It feels like saying, "Ev...

Re: The *official* thread of The Big One of 2026... Snow!
Storm was overrated. Much less severe here than previous days. But an hour and a half away it was a different story. Toronto Pearson Airport has some interesting snow removal videos out. I'm ready for spring. It's been a winter wonderland since early December here. Pretty sketchy driving conditions ...
