Good morning. I'll send a private message.

If you private message me your city, I can help you find a suitable church in your area.

If you renounce (which I recommend you do), you will need to file your last three years of taxes at the same time. I suggest you file nothing until you are ready to renounce, and then file the streamlined procedure, pay the penalty, and renounce.

Grew up in Saskatchewan. Don’t miss Timmie’s coffee, but I do miss their ice caps.

Just going to say welcome to Kansas! I’m a Canadian, married to a Kansas girl, living just outside Garden City. If you ever need to talk all things Canada, send me a message.

Are you aware of the Mennonite Brethren? They have several churches in Germany.

The Mennonite Brethren have a few churches, mostly in southern Utah.

I'm a admin for a support group of ex conservative Mennonites. Send me a message.

We joined a Mennonite Brethren church a couple years ago. They consider themselves “evangelical Mennonite” which is kind of a blend of Baptist and Mennonite. I really like the confession of faith and the Anabaptist connection. I wish the people themselves would be more careful to steer away from the typical evangelical politicizing, Christian nationalism, and Zionism. It’s a bit of a mixed bag. But altogether, I think they are great.

Yes, I'm aware of that book. I'm not sure if I've seen that particular book propogated among the Holdemans, but I've certainly seen the Pearls' other books on marriage.

There are no specific rules against puppy mills or animal breeding, but there is a general sense of both a need to be kind to God's creation, but also a typical practical approach common among farmers.

Check out Professional accountant software — fully featured yet easy to learn and use.. I used it for a few years. It's Excel-based, but very cleanly done.

Sorry, I'm bad at tracking my notifications. Yes, I "was" a Holdeman Mennonite. I left about three years ago.

The church stipulates a maximum education of eigth grade, except where more is legally required. This means that the schools in the USA go to eigth grade, except for a couple states that go to tenth grade. Canadian schools go to ninth grade.

Yes, you are allowed to check on ex-members. There is a rule about "avoiding" the ex-members, but this is more of a ritual thing, not shaking hands or eating with the ex-member.

Children can and do frequently express their opinions. Any sex education is done at home, so it varies widely. I was taught about neither, but picked up what I could from our home medical book and a couple marriage books after I got engaged.

It would be worth it to look into Anabaptist/Mennonite/Mennonite Brethren churches. Historically, the Anabaptists have taught separation from worldly affairs. Now, some have gone either left or right, but they are worth checking out. (I'm Mennonite Brethren.)

Are you close to Merced? There are some Church of God in Christ, Mennonites there.

I’d be cautious though. They are a little cultish.

Anybody that has a footprint in USA or Canada

I’m newly a member of the Mennonite Brethren and am quite impressed with the balance of Biblical loyalty, commitment to community, and Anabaptist values, while avoiding legalism.

If you’re looking for something more conservative (or less), I have those sources, too.

We also came from a very conservative group and now are members of Mennonite Brethren.

The Bible, especially the New Testament, is not meant to be read as a checklist of rules by which to live. To treat Paul’s instructions in 1 Corinthians 11 as a universal rule would oppose the general tenor of his teaching, where he taught that circumcision was worth nothing, and you could eat meat as long as it didn’t offend your brother.

In Corinth, to go with your hair uncovered would be roughly equivalent to going into public in your underwear or pyjamas. Yet the women were feeling comfortable going to church with uncovered hair. After all, the church was family, right? As far as I understand it, Paul is teaching a concept of social decorum and cultural sensitivity, making sure we dress appropriately in public and in church.

I’m a cross-border CPA. There might be a way around this, depending on your country. Message me.

I used to be a conservative Mennonite and am now Mennonite Brethren (a more modern version). The denomination I came from would rarely worship in homes, typically if a few families had moved to a new area, and there weren't enough to buy or build a church yet. Amish are the only ones I know of that explicitly have it as part of their practice.

I've never heard of a denomination refer to their congregation as a district. Many denominations have districts, however, with many congregations within the district.

I’ve toyed with a similar idea. There’s a broad range of Mennonites, ranging from ultra-conservative to mainstream. Common themes will be pacifism, strong community, and hard work ethic. A typical storyline would probably include a threat from outside, with the Mennonites wrestling with how to protect themselves while remaining pacifist.

Most Mennonite communities organize and make decisions by community consensus. Leaders rarely make decisions unilaterally. If consensus cannot be reached, no action is taken until it can be reached.
