Re: The *official* CAM scandal links thread

From Trudy's post CAM is a trophy organization. This I agree with. CAM is a conservative Anabaptist trophy organization. And whenever people, leaders, organizations become trophies, they will eventually be brought down to size. And, the quick call to trust CAM again is nothing more than a reminder t...

Re: S Claiborne to Dr. Jeffress on Trump

This topic brings to mind the issue of voting. Should nonresistant Anabaptists vote for a president, being he is the Commander and Chief of the military and can declare war? I am not opposed to "all" voting, especially on the local levels, such as local school board members, county and loc...

Re: Healthy Communictions with Our Children About Sex

When our oldest was in third grade (age 8) I read somewhere that if you hadn't had "the talk" by age eight, it is to late, as they probably got information from friends. Up until that point we had talked about babies growing in mommy's belly, etc. But we never talked to her about the femal...

Re: S Claiborne to Dr. Jeffress on Trump

none of these men are my spiritual leader. few are. choose wisely. :) I never heard of S. Claiborne or Dr. Jeffress until I read this. A choir singing "Make America Great". Really !! As for being offended by Trump, yes I understand being offended by his shenanigans and windbag mouth. Howe...

Re: Are ‘Traditional Plain Churches’ Views on Wealth Scriptural?

As I recall, in PA the eviction process as was explained to me by the property manager takes some time. This gives the delinquent tenant opportunity to move. We were very blessed with good renters. Personally I feel like Grace posted, and apparently, similar sentiments are held even by some AF boar...

Re: Are ‘Traditional Plain Churches’ Views on Wealth Scriptural?

Exploring all the possibilities here, you would let them go to court to evict on your behalf? J.M. We have had rentals for a number of years and have used a rental management company for most of those years. At one point I was doing the managing, but the tenants soon caught, we were hesitant to evi...

Re: An open letter to ozarkbreeze

Let me clarify, I wasn't really responding to you personally, but I was responding in frustration to the idea that everyone should unquestioningly trust Josh and Trudy Metzger for that matter, simply because they say we should, and they actively go after anyone who raises any questions. Steve Stutz...

Re: An open letter to ozarkbreeze

There aren’t “two sides to the story”. There’s exactly one version of the truth that’s actually true. CAM did not have a “side”. At first they were silent. Then they issued a misleading press releases. After significant pressure applied directly to their board, CAM started issuing statements much c...

Re: An open letter to ozarkbreeze

A few weeks ago, a number of commentators, such as Grace, urged silence in the thread about CAM, and also said it was “jumping to conclusions”. Some of us had seen evidence a long time ago we can’t share publicly. I think it’s obvious by now that Jeriah Mast and CAM definitely engaged in a long pat...

Re: An open letter to ozarkbreeze

Steve does indeed work with some pretty broken people. That’s what concerns me. Steve has never been willing to publicly address the rather serious allegations that he has mishandled abuse cases. I’m sorry if that sounds like character assassination. Steve's response from the from the article in th...
