    ZiSunka is gone

    ZiSunka has died suddenly. She left a note asking me to come to this website and let everyone know, and to thank Tulc and Cletic Rose. among others, for their friendship and support. She asked me to distribute her blessing points and to close out her account. There were no public services...

    Baptist VS. Anabaptists

    That's only true for one small part of the Anabaptist family. I would suggest anyone truly interested in Anbaptism do some research outside of this forum and not trust the word of one person with limited knowledge and a narrow agenda. There are many good websites, such as thirdwaycafe.org...

    Hello fellow Anabaptists!

    Nice to meet you Anthony! Tell us more about your faith walk! When did you first come to saving faith in Christ? Where has your journey taken you so far?

    God bless you in your walk of faith!

    I think this last series of fights have killed this A/Q forum. Although I don't think it was God will for the forum to die, I think He allowed it for His good and our good. Now we can leave behind our lives in denominationally-sectioned cyberspace and resume our lives on Planet Earth. God...

    Can anyone tell me about my icon?

    No, they are not serbian. If I had a prayer book in front of me I would scan it and post it. I hate it when people who have a little knowledge about something think they know everything and keep trying to force their knowledge onto something they don't know. OHS may be written with...

    Can anyone tell me about my icon?

    I grew up in a church that used OHS, and it was written in roman letters, as I said, and my parents and grandparents also used prayer books with OHS written in roman letter with the accents. I have a very old OHS prayer book from Slovakia that belonged to my great grandmother, who was born and...

    If you are looking for a place to send unwanted books where they will do the most good, there is an organization that supplies books to people on Indian reservations out west. In some of the communities they work with, there isn't a single book in the entire town. Not one. Not even a...

    The book that changed your life

    One that has impacted my life recently is Mad Man by Terri Groot, published by Moody. I won it in a radio contest and when I finally got around to reading it, it made me sick and made me question everything about Christianity as an institution. I always thought I could trust Moody to...

    Can anyone tell me about my icon?

    Thanks Oblio. You are the only one who seemed to understand what I meant. I don't think the language is church slovanic, also called Old High Slovanic, because OHS isn't usually written in Cyrillic. It's usually written in roman letterswith a wide array of accent marks, and it certainly is...

    Razpatie Hristovo? Is that the name of the writer?

    Can anyone tell me about my icon?

    I bought this at an antique store in Kezmarok, Slovakia last year. It looks like Cyrillic writing to me, so I was thinking it might be Orthodox in origin. It is carved out of a light, porous stone, with traces of black polychrome around the edges. Can anyone help me determine where and when...

    Harry Potter Satanic!?!?!?!?

    I was reading some reviews of the HP books, and it's funny that Christians are so opposed to them, because a lot of athetists are complaining that they are too Christian. They are saying that HP is a "thinly-veiled Christ-fugure" and that the books are teaching children to "believe in a messiah...

    Least Common Denominator of being Anabaptist.

    You win Wayne. The least common denominator of what makes an anabaptist is anything you say it is. Good luck and enjoy the forum!

    Judgment or joy?

    Evidently, judgment is more fun than joy. Denying the truth is more fun than bringing evil things out into the light of day. Allowing evil to flourish under the banner of Christianity is better than dealing with evil by bringing it to the foot of the cross. Whatever. This forum has been...

    Least Common Denominator of being Anabaptist.

    It shouldn't include anabaptists who demand exclusivity of their own point of view as the only valid Anabaptist point of view. I agree that the man who attends a baptist church and identifies with catholic/orthodox faith, who doesn't accept anabaptist doctrines and refuses to participate in...
