I read this in Der Spiegel a few weeks back - it reminded me of the Deutscher Bauernkalendar project (trying to make agricultural life look 'sexy' to the young generation in Germany.) Why not...

Please change my name from Bran Fendigaid to Vestmannr

I don't hold that objective truth is determined by majority vote either - nor do Episcopalians or Roman Catholics. However, the nature of Protestant interpretation of Scripture is such that exegesis...

That simply shows a misunderstanding about how Catholicism worked at that point in history. One cannot read back the decrees of Vatican I in 1870 back upon the 16th-17th c. In fact, during the period...

Because it takes two to tango - and because it wasn't my money (just my decision, despite what some other family members in the US, Germany, or other countries, may want.)

My family are from just an hour north of where you are at (I left there about 7 years ago.) And yes, the Hill Country is more 'Anglo' now (preserving more of old Anglo-American life or a similitude...

Um - that's GK Chesterton's quote, not attributable to me. Minor point, but important point.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried. - GK Chesterton

This concept is in fact the foundation of Southern civilization: New England had its puritanism and 'Protestant work ethic', and we Southerners had our leisure ethic. The 'work ethic' is oppression -...

Simply this: that Presbyterianism is no more a perfect system than Episcopalianism and Catholicism are. Presbyterianism is just as (and often more) guilty of idiosyncracy with its interpretation of...

I do understand it - those not Elders do have to submit to the Elders, which is why people were often called before the Elders to be tried in an ecclesiastical court. The Elders are a hierarchy -...

It was intertwined - however, I think the evidence is pretty clear that a Western Germanic categorization for Scotland is not out of line. The Scots tongue is Western Germanic (very close to...

Yes, that would be in the later settlement - the 'old' German settlements are from the 18th c. However, if you've been to Fredericksburg (or any other German settlement in Texas) you'll know they...

The lawyers said I do, and yourself further down in your post explain just why...



Which is exactly what post on 'What it Germanicity?' explained - what the BD laws require. And, it wouldn't...

Yet this is exactly what continued to happen, but now Elders instead of Bishops, the Manse rather than a Synod.



Except those same churchmen resisted to the death for Christ under Presbyterian...

Its true - the Classical world (Greek/Roman) had the most difficult time differentiating Celt, Gaul, and German (and sometimes even 'Scythian'). What we call Germanic and Celtic today are in fact...

It isn't an issue of passive submission: but assimilation. The real issue is Anglophobia - which can manifest as a hatred of 'White America'. The needless and artificial rivalry between Anglo and...

There is only one of those I wouldn't choose.

I do have to say that I do envy those who do live in mono-cultural communities. The much vaunted 'enrichment' of multi-culturalism is something I...

Objectively - no, it makes it about their politics, not their theology. The main issue being Church government, who was going to have power, and the distribution of wealth: not theological items....

Frisian ancestors from 1500-2000 years ago.

One grandfather was USMC fighting the Japs in the Pacific (and he was a machine-gunner.) The other was too young to serve during the War (though he did provide service to his country afterwards.)

I thought that Coon had a map showing something along these lines? Not that I'd trust Coon's map nowadays. It seems many southern Scots are Keltic-Nordics along with the Anglo-Saxon types (the...

The best ale is from Newcastle - and I've drank so much of that, maybe it should be considered a Geordie transfusion? ;)

I believe it was a by-product of the academic establishment, as well as the first printers (at least the successful ones). More Germanic uses survived (and have survived) in the local English...

A straw man - your facts are incomplete.



Blood was spilled on both sides. The persecution of the Episcopalians was heaviest after 1688 - but had gone both ways. The Presbyterian ascendancy...
