I'm not kidding, but I sort of wish I were

Okay, so I now know that my generation will change the Mennonite Church, for better or worse. As I was playing on facebook, in the group called The Mennonite Game I came across the following post: "Introducing MennoMeet, an online dating service for Mennonites." The post goes on to describe a dating service specifically for Mennonites. On the one hand I completely understand, but how could non-Menno's (and those who haven't spent significant time in Menno culture- i.e. at a Menno college) understand about four-part harmony, the blue hymnal, and knowing all your relatives (not to mention pacifism, etc) It was scary, and sort of interesting all at the same time. And just to make sure it wasn't a joke, by a young Menno with an extremely satirical sense of humor I checked it out. It really does exist. www.mennomeet.com. Unfortunately I am married and so cannot discover the intricacies of the site, because as the facebook post says, you can't enter if you're a "nosy gossipy married."
