Peace Blend | Do they really want peace?
| Read only Peace Blend posts | Respond to this post |
Hamas wants the death of Israel - who can take the Palestinians seriously when they support Hamas and othe rabid groups of militants?
They want a war, not peace. Why support them - where is the sense in that - what sort of peace movement have we fostered?

Before preaching peace to Israel, the activists should ask the Palestinians to give peace a chance.Its time to use the same standards with the Palestinians that is used against Israel.

It's always interesting to hear what was Hollywood and what was real. The children with the shredder paper was fascinating, and I could see it happening, but if he says it was made up, then that makes sense too. It certainly contributed to the tension in the film.

Michelle,
Great review of a great movie. Thanks.
I heard an NPR piece about the film yesterday, an interview with a State Dept type who worked for Carter and Reagan. he said the runway chase, children reconstruction photos and air port interrogation were pure Hollywood but the story stayed essentially true to actual events.
This film has Oscar written all over it and its entertaining too!

A couple of things.
1) Ponijao is a girl.
2) A saw what I could interpret as two possible "dedication" ceremonies -- Bayar's seemed more formal -- everyone in traditional garb.
there was a Scene where Panijao's mother seemed to possibly be "presenting" her to the night.

Mennonite women have always been called girls. I remember that term being used when I was growing up Mennonite in Vancouver. (parents were Friesen/Peters)

This was a warming insight evoking memories for me - I was pleased by Ms. Hertzler's observation that caring and time investment can and does smooth most ruffled feathers. Ms. Hertzler is quite right that major changes for her family are just beyond today's horizon. Yet as a father of two, (boy/girl) I learned that time investment coupled with a lot more time investment and God's protection, guided them into contributing adulthood.
As I write, one is a Pastor and the other an active church member and reading specialist teacher. It was about age 20 when they began to show their caring for God and God's word. God is good and forgiving of any guidance mistakes I might have made. That is a really special truth.

Yes, all that is true. But the movie is sort of like a Dr. Phil program. In this case, however, the characters are generic, lacking a specific identity and history, and the failure of the marriage is attributed almost solely to sexual dissatisfaction and dysfunction. Surely marital breakdown is more complex than depicted in this film.

About Mennonites | Female pastors: scripture says woman not be pastor of church!
| Read only About Mennonites posts | Respond to this post |
May be so by modern definitions, but it said nothing about females not being teachers and instructors (nourishers)in the church, as was Priscilla, as I pointed out previously.
In the early church the word pastor was not an official title, it meant the 'noursihing of and caring for God's people', (Nelson's New Ilustrated bible Dictionary,1995, p.948), as obviously women did in the church.
Also, if you look at Ephesians 4:11, you will find that it says,"Christ gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelist, and some pastors and teachers". I don't see any sexist language in this, (even in the original language). It does not say male pastors.
That's all I have to say on this matter.

Someone emailed me a said
"Hey Misty,
The interesting thing is that the early anabaptists, in the Schlleitheim Confession of faith, made no distinction between males and females. Perhaps you need to find a denomination which contradicts the Bible where these distinctions are important. Just a thought."
The only place there is no distinction is in heaven. The Bible clearly tells us that there is a diferrence here on earth and plainly states that women are not to be in a position of authority over a man in the church... why can't we just do what it says? :(

Other | women as pastor: scripture says NO!

Erika, but why? Scripture clearly says women are to be "silent in the church" Paul in Corithians... so why do we not follow that? Why do the Mennonite churches ignore scripture? If they can't follow this what else are they ignoring from God's word?
