Re: Passive-Aggressive: How can you tell?
A sure sign of a passive aggressive comment on the internet is a blatantly rude, snarky comment followed by a completely unnecessary smiley ( :D :) :mrgreen: ) weak, KB - :hug: proving, sometimes, superficially PA statements are really nothing more than under-the-radar "stabs" at peacemak...

Re: What the Mennonites got wrong
Emphasis on how a person looks is the difficult one for me. it can be difficult! no question. but, i believe it's also undeniable that these tangible, visible choices also work to define "a call to worship, to be ready to submit, to seek godly life," in unique ways that, if lost, the worl...

Re: Dr Ben Carson - Post 2016 Election
"the media" seems a bit broad. Some painted Clinton in a similar light. I wouldn't necessarily equate the votes with a mass-awakening. Most of the media was far more biased against Trump than Clinton this election. This coincided with public trust in the media being at an all time low. i ...

Re: What the Mennonites got wrong
Historically, Mennonites have been a bit too tribal and insular. I disagree. Mennonites (and other traditional Anabtists) are one of the only groups with the strength not to be corrupted by modern culture, and this requires at least some degree of insularity. The only other group that I know that e...

Re: Dr Ben Carson - Post 2016 Election
What makes you think that? A lot of them voted for the candidate the media told them was Hitler and Putin rolled into one. "the media" seems a bit broad. Some painted Clinton in a similar light. I wouldn't necessarily equate the votes with a mass-awakening. (for me) when the huge mainstre...

Re: Dr Ben Carson - Post 2016 Election
Speaking of that email, it is distributed by an entity called Ben Carson News but copyrighted by Newsmax. Is Ben Carson News affiliated in any with with Dr. Ben Carson the real person, as the name seems to imply, or is it simply a Newsmax subsidiary? The suite at the address listed is currently ava...

Re: Dr Ben Carson - Post 2016 Election
I heard an interview recently on NPR that credibly outlined a deliberate strategy on the part of the "dark ops" campaign operators to use social media targeting to proliferate salacious fake news headlines and articles, not in an effort to convince anyone to support their candidate, but t...

Re: Dr Ben Carson - Post 2016 Election
Illustration of #1: Trump has not offered Carson U.S. housing post ... though it's not entirely clear how much of this is news outlets getting things wrong and how much is things changing while they are being reported. Carson's fluidity, in particular, including the email quoted on p. 2, seems diff...
