It’s so good to hear from you, Regina! I admire your commitment to following God’s Word, even when those you associate with don’t share your convictions. Bless you for that! I think you are right that people often draw their conclusions depending on their experiences and who they know.

Since its such an old post I will comment here. I found it very interesting and many of the comments had me questioning why I desire or rather what are my motives for wanting to be a Mennonite in a Mennonite church. I hold on to the Biblical doctrines that Mennonites hold such as headcoverings, nonresistance, modesty etc. I don’t always hold on to the man made things like cape dresses because I don’t have many and I’m still trying to learn how to sew one so I wear jumpers and long skirts. It’s not easy having these convictions without having any local support. All my Mennonite friends live out of the area. And the Baptist church I attend does not share my convictions.

One of your commenter had mentioned she thought Mennonites were I believe she said “stuck up, pompous and that they think they are the true church” or something like that. I wonder if she had encountered a particular “style” of Mennonites if you will that I see here in town. I won’t name the group but my conservative Mennonite friends did warn me that these particular Mennonites are as the lady described in her comment and from my friend and her family who visited their fellowship.

I’m not sure where I was going with my way too comment. I will say that first of all I’m a Christ follower above all else and a Mennonite wannabe second.
