Look! It's a bird, no it's a plane, no it's a bicycle built for two!

All seriousness aside, our Denomination does not ordain women as pastors, but some of our more liberal member churches do. That becomes a problem, and is PART of the reason we have two State Baptist Conventions. The one to which I subscribe does not ordain women, and we have a clear message on "family" being "the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption. "

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI recall seeing a TV program that showed that many Amish use computers for their businesses but don't have them in their homes (unless the business operates out of the house).
They're doing the same thing as everybody else, INOHBAO -- adapting to the ways of society -- but at a much slower pace.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostOn my last visit to Amishland, in Pennsylvania, it was interesting to see that the dairy farmers were using electric milking machines, but there was a distinction --- the electricity had to come from GENERATORS on their farms, and NOT from "the grid", so they only had electricity to do work, not for enjoyment.
It reminded me of the Shabbat elevators I encountered in Israel -- they had to operate without the need to push a button to choose your floor, so they constantly went up and down stopping at EVERY floor.
Back in Pennsylvania, our Amish guide had an iPhone, but quickly pointed out he was in rebellion.
