Meanwhile, in Canada

[Ernie]

I doubt very many of the early Anabaptists just used prayer. Seems like a few of them openly entered churches and preached while the preacher was trying to preach.

And the one most blatant in this action repented of it later.

Ernie, have you ever considered the approach you propose is a lot closer to Zwingli’s than to Blaurock or Grebel’s?

I'm rather confused... Blaurock is the one who later repented of taking over the pulpit from another preacher if I remember correctly.

Robert! All my signs were appropriate.

I have opinions about this. I have deep feelings about this. Truckers are, in a very real sense, "my people." Maybe one day I'll find the words to say what's inside. Maybe not. But one thing is certain, what is on most of the news is so far from reality, it's disgusting.

Your people in what way? Can you speak more about that?

I had uncles who drove for as long as I can remember, I have cousins who own trucking companies.
My oldest brother has driven truck since he was old enough to get his license.
My father in law is a retired trucker.
Another brother holds an AZ license and drives some, my father had his license and delivered feed/fertilizer for a local Co-op when I was younger.

I letter/stripe trucks almost daily.
Truckers are my clients and my friends. About half of my work is for truck drivers.

And the last few weeks? Well, they really kept me hopping.
A handful of my signs may have appeared on the news, or at least live feeds. A truck I lettered was on Fox News.

These guys are, in a very real sense, "my people."

Good explanation.
Typical news is about the unusual, the minority, the oddities. Media circus, sideshows. Airtime gives the false impression of what is typical, or normal. Reality is the opposite.

What “makes the world go ‘round,” are the majority, not featured in news, not dramatic, not spectacular. Not committing crimes or making waves. Not screaming. Not burning down.

Ordinary people that do “the heavy lifting” of life. People NEVER featured in news. They don’t “sell.”

The convoy is getting a big “market share” on this forum. i do not have a good perspective of how the mainstream is responding.
The glimpses i see reflect “not much.” (A lot like “not much” on March for Life.)

It’s amazing how efficient the mainstream can be about NOT reporting. It doesn’t seem possible. But it’s proven, over+over.

Used to go through photobucket. That stank. It literally isn't worth it to me. Anybody wants to see signage that traveled to Canada's capital, they'll have to ask for it, I think.

The best method is to ask a child to do it for you.

“Corporal Bulford resigns from his position as personal security for Trudeau”


Not an easy decision. Difficult to view.

I'm rather confused... Blaurock is the one who later repented of taking over the pulpit from another preacher if I remember correctly.

Yet if he hadn't done that and had followed Zwingli's advice to just wait for gradual change, the Anabaptist movement probably wouldn't exist now. Radical action was needed. Gradual, slow reforms didn't work. The end fruit of Zwingli's approach was, well, nothing at all, unless you consider the modern day Presbyterian and Luthern churches a "success".

Perhaps this is due to the original Anabaptist movement being replaced by "conservative Anabaptism" and Die Stille im Lande; it is one that is very much in favour of inaction even what action is strongly needed.

It is good Blaurock repented of his bad attitude. But as far as displacing a priest teaching false doctrine, there is no need to repent for taking over the pulpit from such a man.

Right click on a facebook photo, click copy image address or some similar wording.

When writing a post here click the That will give you a line like this:



The cursor should be flashing in the middle of the two [] tags. You can hit ctrl v or right click and click paste which pastes the URL, or internet address of that picture. Hit Preview to see if it worked, or hit Submit to post it for everyone else to be able to see it.

Then you get to join in on all the fun around here.

All my signs were appropriate.

I have no doubt, but wanted to tease you a bit.
