IndyWatchmanThe Subversiveness of Christianity True Christians have nothing at all to do with the evil of mass murder at the hands of young military-age boys whose heads have been filled with patriotic nonsense. There are men and women in the Church who say they believe in peace and spend much time promoting peace, delivering addresses, […]
There are not many voices in the room when it comes time to exult Christ in His doctrine and lifestyle of non-resistance to evil. There are not many men who will take part in the battle on this front. The odds in this world are overwhelmingly against those who choose to believe this teaching from […]
The back-end of IndyWatchman has been down for quite sometime but is now back up. I was unable to repair it myself so I had to bring in the big-guns. All is well on the home front now. Your patience is appreciated. In the mean time I have attended a few Anabaptist conferences and gathered […]
