Thank you for posting this clip of plain, humble lovers of Jesus singing old hymns so sincerely and with some nice harmonies. It could bring tears to the eyes of your sensitive viewers/hearers. Was unable to see faces further back than the front row, unfortunately. I know you may have been afraid to get closer than you did.

Presumably you did not talk to any of them to find out from whence they came and why they were singing?

@ClaireConrad I approached one of the women handing out pamphlets trying to initiate a conversation but she was too busy to converse beyond confirming that they were from Pennsylvania

These people are the real old Mennonites, like they also lived in the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th century. I admire them for their faith and lifestyle, for they show the world what christianity is about.

The object isn't his removal, it is the annihilation of his paradigm, his way of thinking—thinking that...his children must obey his commands,"in the Lord." According to dialectical "logic," only when the patriarch abdicates his God-given office (like Adam did in the Garden in Eden), forsaking the didactic way of thinking,

If he continues in insisting on his way...as his friends & associates become converted, he will be marginalized (not listened to or even recognized).

Besides, I love the freedom to wear skirts or not that is mine. The world has a legalism all its own, you know. Now that Christ is mine & I am His: I am no longer needy or addicted to the latest sound, fad, or fashion with those lines of perfection & 'success' that the spirit of this world keeps moving out until we race ourselves into a sad, exhausted, & hopeless grave after a pointless, wasted life serving Mammon. Life is bright & I am never bored anymore because of the meaning truth brings.

And, who wants to be 'religious'? All men are religious & laboring for some vain & futile hope apart from trusting in Christ---most by blind faith without even examining the Word honestly for themselves. It's reconciliation & relationship with the true & living God & Savior of men's souls by receiving His grace by faith & belief in His Word that frees men from the price of sin & arbitrary meaninglessness given puffed-up & 'grand' titles & claims without justification by the Deceiver's dupes.
