  • Tell me a little about yourself and your family
  • What is courtship?
  • How does it differ from dating?
  • Why did you choose to court rather than date?
  • What did you learn in the process of your courtship about the courtship that you didn't know before you started?
  • What advice would you give to the parents that are listening who have preteen or teenage children who are wanting to date?
  • What websites, organization, ministries, etc. do you recommend for further study on courtship?
  • What advice would you give to the single man or woman who came to the idea of courtship late in life and are now living on their own but want to do courtship rather than dating?

Episode-49- Interview with Doug Pruiett

In this episode I interview Doug Pruiett who has recently started a family business.  I interview him on why and how he started his business with the hope to inspire others to start a family business where the next generation can be discipled, learn a trade, and contribute to society and the church.

Pruiett and Sons is a “father and sons” business that hand-crafts farm-style dining tables, benches, coffee tables, and more.
Doug spent seventeen years as an aerospace engineer at Cape Canaveral, working in the design and testing of long-range nuclear missiles.
In 1996 He went into full-time Christian work as a missionary, then pastor, and now an assistant VP of information technology for a Good News Jail and Prison Ministry.
He has always maintained his engineering interests and work in his Christian assignments.  “My sons and I were taught the building and carpentry trades by a master-carpenter for over five years. One of my first lessons was that buildings (and most other things) do not require aerospace tolerances. Once I quit using a micrometer on everything, I began to build some nice things in a reasonable amount of time.”

Episode-47- The Theft of Property Taxes

In this show I talk about my encounter with a county worker who took my tax money this morning about the difference between theft and property taxes.

I ask the question: What is the difference between Theft and Taxes?

I also discuss what I consider some important principles relating to this subject.
1) The government should not be allowed to do what private citizens are not able to do
2) The threat of force to get what you want is wrong in all accounts except self defense
3) Mandatory participation in a program creates a monopoly and monopoly of service increases cost and decreases service
4) If you could loose it if you don’t pay the tax means you really don’t own it.
5) Taxes are doubly bad because they not only reduce your power but empowers the state

In the next section of the show I address some objections to the statement that Taxes and Theft are the same

  • You can choose to not own a property
  • You get the benefit
  • It is not that much
  • We have to support the government somehow.
  • You can live somewhere else.

Finally I offer some solutions.

  • Dialogue with others about this issue.
  • Voluntary contributions for select services
  • Allow for competitive services
  • Allow for complete opt out
