Re: Trump Convicted

It is all over the news today so no need to post links. But Trump has been found guilty and convicted of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. So I guess by the standards of this forum it is now accurate to call him a criminal. The press has already pivoted to the question of whether thi...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past

For worldly people it is taught it’s a very bad idea to marry someone before sleeping with them and living with them and likewise it’s taught it’s a good idea to sleep with quite a few people before marrying one of them. Marriage as a whole has been downplayed in general society. The sanctities the...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past

Would it be strange to not want to know your spouses or potential spouses history if when you met them, they were strong in the Lord? If love covers a multitude of sins, is "exposure" beneficial? Personally, who they "are" and not "were" seems where I would want to dire...

Re: War in Gaza

It's trying to understand the mindset of the Jewish people. I truly am not "evangelically" influenced about this. It seems blatantly clear from studying the OT for decades, and realizing Jews are who they are, and are not Anabaptist in thinking nor are they NT people. War has always been ...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children

I'm not aware that anyone collected actual death rates among the Amish specifically. What I wrote was that areas with high Amish populations had higher COVID death rates. As far as I know, the two counties in America with the highest percentages of Amish and other CA groups are Holmes OH, and Miffl...

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children

That's not an actual study. That's just more anti-vax nonsense from this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Kirsch And they didn't do any sort of study. They just made stuff up. These are the same folks that were talking about how vaccines caused people to be magnetized. Had they actually don...

And I say this as someone who, generally speaking, avoids vaccines for religious reasons.
It was passed on to me, I honestly believe it over Fauci.

Re: Amish World's Healthiest Children

Nope. I’d fully expect them to say those things even though they are not true. Having had an unvaccinated autistic son, I’m not speaking out of ignorance and I’m very well read on vaccines and autism. You should know I have a strong stance against many vaccines but not all of them. Of course it has...
