Good to see you posting!

Hi Ron! It's good to see you! I rarely post. I am so busy with my 13 children. I am Apostolic Amish. That way I can be holier than you in every way. I am baptized in Jesus name, have the Holy Ghost and dress righter and liver righter than everybody. That's why we are the true church.

Unlikely. Some idiot could steal a buggy and park it at a strip club, but they ae much more likely to do that with a car. Plain and simple. This is an argument you can't win.

Hi Timmy. Good to see you!
Yes, they are in need. Good thing I am here, I know. I find it hard to neglect my children to direct these heathen. But somebody has to.

My bishop would never do that. The women do it to each other. Let the older teach the younger.

Emma, why do you have 13 children? Don't you think that's an unlucky number? I have some more questions but I will refrain at this time!

God chooses the number of children I have, not me. If you have an issue with it, you can take it to God in prayer.
If you are afraid to ask me questions it could be you are afraid you might be convicted.

Actually, she should be thankful that she DOES have 13 children and not 12 children and 1 devil, aka, the 'Jersey Devil'.

And I'm in ministry.
But the point is, if YOU hold that priority list, then YOU shouldn't have a problem.

Re: Signs of a Controlling Church<<<
I have been gone from this thread for hours and hardly anybody has discussed my wise posts or debated them while I have been gone. I'm sure the Lord is insulted. You should be ashamed.
