Another hymn that comes to mind is the fervently-sung "Faith Of Our Fathers", widely accepted among conservative Anabaptists in spite of how it needed to be sanitized of the hymn writer's objectionable 3rd verse before making it into the hymnal. In his own words, verse 3: "Faith of ou...

Can anyone explain how this guy was able to do this? It takes a lot of time and patience along with some trial and error. Essentially he set up the camera and recorded himself standing at 9 different spots while singing a specific part, then edited the videos together by layering a portion of video...

The original topic of this thread, "By Thy Words", consists of someone who simply wants to find every avenue of attack against more-conservative groups. This is a hobby horse of less-conservative-people-who-are-still-conservative, and I think it's a bad one. People who are anti-Christian ...

Ah, yes, another "criticise Holdemans" thread. Those sure have been useful in the past. Everybody already has made up in their mind how bad it is that the Holdemans do things. You're all free to remain in your own respective churches and instead write about how you've found a good way to ...

Yes. It was devastating to me, and was a significant driver of the bitterness that for years consumed my heart. Some of the denizens of the old MD witnessed that bitterness and the repentance of it.
