Josf, I am struggling with sorting out my thoughts regarding pacifism.
It seems to me that this was an early topic for you and me. I am specifically troubled by this dot connecting that I am doing:
I ask because I am wondering why I never knew that there were Baptists who refused to shed blood. I find it very interesting that “we” have been trained that “our” “patriotic duty” is to fight when “we” are called upon in order to secure “our” Freedoms. I am wondering if my and by my I mean my spiritual forefathers refused to shed blood…even in war. Maybe that is also why they were persecuted thru the middle ages…too many pacifists wouldn’t work well for those powers that be that like to make war for profit and perpetrate fraud on the good faith and credit of the people
