War, What is it Good For?
nothin' absoutly nothin' say it again...War
sorry, I couldnt resist.
War, What's it Good For?
Wow. That script gets right to the heart of things!Parts of it sound like they're quoted from my life - before I became a Quaker - when I was a Vietnam War protester and some of the exact same arguments were made. Even the list of three criminal charges sounds like the transcript from my first arrest!If they ever apply for Conscientious Objector status, this film is Exhibit A proving that these filmmakers really understand at a young age what the war/peace issue is.Dramatic filmmaking,…See More

Called Out, Called In: Maggie Harrison's Loving Challenge
There is a prophet in our midst, and her name is Maggie Harrison. Rousing many like fire, making my skin itch at being possibly excluded from this club that I don't even belong to, really (when asked if I am a Quaker, I always respond, 'Not yet.'), but want to think I can put on and off like so much-- clothing?And, nakedness. Taking off the mantle of Religious Identity, making space for the un-knowingness of living INTO something, removing armor and scaffold and hard won (or not so hard won)…See More

First of all, Mazel Tov! Prayers to your pregnancy, may it be a healthy, happy event in your life.
With my children, I have raised them with my beliefs, explained why I dress Plain for worship, and leave them with what I have taught in hopes…
Paula Roberts replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Plain babies and children' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
Congratulations Elin! I don't have children so I'm going to speculate, but I don't think raising your kids differently from other people is going to injure them at all. Of course I am surrounded by people who are doing that very…
Barbara Smith replied to Elin Hagberg's discussion 'Plain babies and children' in the group Plainness & Simplicity
Elin - Congratulations! The bigger question you are raising is how to bring up spiritually healthy children in an unhealthy world! We have nine children and homeschooled all of them right from the start. They are amazing people and I know for a fact…
Mackenzie replied to Lauren Smith's discussion 'Parenting as a Friend'
I'm not a parent, so grain of salt ;)
I maintain the opinion that setting a good example from the earliest age is what's important. Consistent rules probably have the best chance of being followed. That's not to say "when…

Plain babies and children
I am expecting a baby if everything goes well this summer. I just want to hear if there are any thoughts about teaching and showing the plain way to children. The table is open and I just want to hear what you think about this, is it even possible in today's society to raise children like that?As both me and my partner wear mainly clothes of a modern make we will buy 'normal' clothes for our children but try buy a lot of things second hand or try to swap them with others. When our child is a…See More

Daily Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 32 and 1 Corinthians 5
Deuteronomy 32 – The Song of Moses [the number of verses equals the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet – 23 - times 3. It concludes the teaching books of the Old Testament: “my teaching will fall like drops of rain and form on the earth like dew. My words will fall like showers on young plants, like gentle rain on tender grass” (32:2). From the beginning, the Judeo-Christian vision has been that we humans are here on earth as creations of a “mighty,” “just” and “perfect” God, who seeks…See More
