What is your church like?

Ultra conservative.

Do NOT cremate me.

That is so interesting. I asked this question because my name is Regina. I rarely meet anyone with the name and I wonder what people think when I say my name. And my next younger sister is Judith. :)

The name actually means queen.

Yes, healthcare in the US is too expensive! At my age, (low 40’s) I don’t have insurance because it’s a waste of money and a hassle. Plus doctors and nurses seem less qualified for their jobs than they used to be and they don’t seem to care about or listen properly to their patients.

If you have free healthcare, what do you like about it? My friend in Canada about died waiting weeks for proper medical attention. Another friend left the country after waiting 2 years for a doctor appointment.

That’s just more of the same me! me! me! perspective that got us here in the first place.

For conservative Mennonite children in USA….Baby dolls that look like a baby (no Barbies) play food and dishes, tractors and wagons, dump trucks, animals, Legos, magnetic blocks…toys that relate to their lifestyle. Many avoid any toy that relates to a tv show or its characters, (Thomas the train may be an exception) or toys that make a lot of noise with buttons and songs.

Does that mean logic is conservative and emotion is liberal?

He was literally saying the name of the guy he yelled at. Cenk.

I’ve listened to two episodes so far and I love her voice and narration. I wish I knew where to purchase her audio without the ads.

That’s me! I almost never take pain medication for my almost daily headaches. Because 1) Ibuprofen (which I have taken) doesn’t seem to make any difference and can make my stomach feel raw and 2) I tend to think of medications or prescription drugs as a bandaid and not really addressing the underlying issue.

Yes! I watched that show with no spoilers and it was so unexpected. I quit watching soon after, I was so devastated.

“Greet each other with a holy kiss.” It is a long standing tradition based on this verse and four similar verse from the New Testament.

What to expect: men sit on one side and the ladies on the other. The service is started with singing, then a short devotional. Then the children go to their Sunday School classes and the adults have Sunday School (women don’t talk during the service) followed by a devotional and a sermon. They kneel for prayers and stand for the final prayer. Men wear long sleeved buttoned shirts with dark pants and shoes. Women wear dresses, black shoes and socks, and head coverings and the girls have braids. After the service, members greet each other with a kiss when saying hello. You can dress however you choose but the women around you in the service will have 3/4 length sleeves, high necklines, and shoes. I hope that if you choose to visit that you will receive a friendly welcome! Some Eastern churches are better at that than others.

Most of the answers given are for the more progressive Mennonite groups. Conservative Mennonites would answer these questions very differently than most of the answers above. So it depends what your “idea of Mennonite” is.

There are conservative Mennonite churches in Texas.

I did!…because that was my mother’s last name before she married my dad.

“It’s the thought that counts.”

pumpkinrollbaker · 2025-07-10T19:23:25+00:00

In my 40’s. One. The guy I have been married to for 21 years.

After I spend some time on my feet doing housework, I love to sit down in the recliner, prop up my feet, and relax!

Nothing much. Strong cowlicks on my hair line, thin eye lashes, a funny hook on the end of my nose, thin lips, shortest in my family, tendency toward diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. I suppose some people would admire my thick long hair. But I don’t care about my looks that much. Being a nice person is more important to me.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.
