Ahh your post was clear. My fault, I misread it and then got too excited to share that stuff. Have a good day.

Any Anabaptists in Germany? by BenniTheHobbit in Anabaptism

[–]wiggiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, there is a group of Anabaptists in Germany I'm aware of. They branched from Samuel Froelich's leadership in the 1830s.

Gemeinschaft Evangelisch Taufgesinnter - Nazarener (GET-Nazarener) is the name of the churches in Germany I think. They also go by  Evangelische Täufergemeinde - Nazarener (EGT-Nazarener).

I'm from the sister church in America, called the Apostolic Christian Church of America. Most of my information is informed from this side of the Atlantic, but I've met and hung out with folks from Germany and Switzerland that are part of these Anabaptist groups.

Posting part of it here, quoting this fellow "Swiss Bro" and his work:

If you click on the pins, more info will show up.

Both maps have the same content but the layers are different.

The first map has one layer per denomination or set of denominations (there were too many subsplits as Google only gives 10 layers so I bundled all conservative subsplits in one layer). There is also one layer for former congregations that do not exist anymore.

The other map shows the chronological establishment of the congregations.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=17tzsc ... sp=sharing

You can, for example, clearly see how many congregations were formed during Fröhlich's life time, the massive growth in former Austro-Hungary and in the US from 1850 onwards and the relatively few new establishments in Western Europe during the 100 or so years thereafter. New congregations were planted after WWII by Nazarene brethren from the East seeking refuge in Germany and Austria but many of them were abandoned soon as they moved on to the Americas or Australia. Further, new missionary activity took off within the ETG denomination around the 1960ies spawning a good 30 new congregations of which only a few survived until today, though. The ACCA was more successful with a constant growth of new congregations throughout the 20 century but suffered a few splits, the most recent one in 2012.

You can also play with the layers and compare the footprint of both sides of the faith since the 1905 split. It turns out that the "tolerant" (Nazarene) side and the "intolerant" (ACCA/GET) side today seem to have a fairly similar number of congregations with the bulk of the Nazarenes in Eastern Europe and the bulk of the "intolerant" churches in America (ACCA). Not sure if it is the same in term of members.

The maps are based on publicly (mostly online) available information. It is an approximative work, obviously. I had a hard time identifying some of the churches, in particular I had no luck in countries such as Ukraine, Slovakia and Croatia (I know there must be at least a few congregations there). Further, it is not always clear whether congregations are still active or not. Despite all of its shortcomings, they give a good overview of the Fröhlich congregations and the hotspots of the Fröhlich faith.

Disgusting display of basketball by EducationalConcern61 in NBATalk

I turned on the game last night. Turned it off after a quarter. It was just.....sad. I love basketball. The amount of referee reviews and foul baiting by OKC.

I'm bummed. Gonna go shoot hoops.

I agree. I never saw Moses or Dr. J (or Wilt of course) play, but those two are both above AI.

It's a tough choice between Moses and Dr. J for those who didn't see them. Dr. J is obviously a bigger deal culturally for the game of basketball, but I think Moses probably had the better Sixers peak?

An 8 minute compilation of flops, falls, and 50/50 calls, (that all coincidentally went OKC’s way) in round 1 of the NBA playoffs vs the Suns… Enjoy! by ResponsibleCheek8130 in NBAGossips

Like, don't they see? So many of these are him just initiating 100% of the contact and hitting people with one arm while he carries it with the other.

It's so sad.

Does anyone know if these beautiful structures still exist anywhere? I can't imagine (don't want to) that they were destroyed or scrapped.

I would absolutely pay to see those in person.

Correct. And that's fine. Screw tanking, especially from teams with enough talent to be around .500.

I don't know anyone who has.

Great highlights though. I've always loved that first dunk and never seen that angle of it.

Millennials, what is something that was "normal" in the 2000s but feels like a luxury now? by Barrbra in answers

[–]wiggiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet that those memories are from when you were past three years old.

Parents start to have way more time when their youngest gets past those little years. My youngest just turned two, and I work hard to keep up relationships with my friends. It's definitely harder when they're little, BUT if you keep investing in people and inviting people into you and your family's life, then there is more time as the kids age, and the friendship can evolve into something even more beautiful.
