Re: CAM Molestation Issue

I just read the following by Rick Ashley on Facebook . . . "My need to remain a Advocate on their behalf is renewed and they are begging for my assistance!" Do you have any knowledge regarding what organization Rick Ashley is serving with as an advocate? Or is he working independently? Th...

Re: A Better Way Child Abuse Prevention Seminars

Some people can make jaw-droppingly ignorant and hurtful comments about abuse and abuse victims but she always seems to respond to them graciously and respectfully. People can do that in real life, too! True. Though there's something about being behind a keyboard that seems to make people lose some...

Re: A Better Way Child Abuse Prevention Seminars

I've never met Hope Anne in person but I've interacted with her online quite a few times over the past couple of years and I think she's good people. She's very sincere and passionate about helping victims of sexual abuse. One thing I admire about her is her responses to some people's comments onlin...

A Better Way Child Abuse Prevention Seminars

A Better Way has two upcoming child abuse prevention seminars. One will be in Lamar, PA, and the other in Mesopotamia, OH. The one in Lamar, PA is a two day event and I believe that one is being offered for free. The one in Mesopotamia, OH is one day and has a ticket price of $70. A Better Way usual...

Re: By Thy Words

I have no idea who by thy words is. My question was to ragpicker. He seemed to imply that he knows who the person is. The person stated they didn't want to reveal their identity because they figured people would find a way to discount what they are saying. A not entirely unjustified concern, consid...

Re: By Thy Words

Post from By Thy Words Facebook page. With the continual growth of the page, I thought it would be a good idea to do a pinned post explaining who we are and what we do. By Thy Words exists to expose the warped teachings that are remarkably prevalent within Conservative Mennonite churches by providin...

Re: By Thy Words

The person stated they didn't want to reveal their identity because they figured people would find a way to discount what they are saying. A not entirely unjustified concern, considering some of the company he has very publicly associated himself with. You know who's doing By Thy Words? Would you c...

Re: Bare Feet and "Fitted to Holiness"

As for how loud a voice he has in the plain community, I believe he has some role in Plain People In The News. I know very little about that but Ernie said at one point that Plain News works back and forth with PPITN so maybe he can tell you more about what kind of voice Cory has in the Plain commu...

Re: Bare Feet and "Fitted to Holiness"

I don't think he does have a loud voice. And I don't think people are gullible. I expect he and his little self-publishing company that he runs with his wife are going around to plain bookstores and general stores and promoting this book and other publications of his and they are just taking them t...

Re: Bare Feet and "Fitted to Holiness"

Sometimes clothes are just clothes. I've seen Amish and Mennonite women in full conservative dress and coverings who I thought were stunningly attractive. Or non-plain women in conservative business attire who were stunning. And I've seen thousands of women in revealing clothing that I thought were...
