CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
"Those still in this original small community worried, until finally some volunteered to make a search."
"Since the twelve who came could not join this original settlement that their parents and grandparents had left before, they consented to the help they could have from some there with building new structures for homes in a cluster for themselves a good way off from that original settlement...
"Soon the time came, and Idmeton and his fifteen followers had structures built far up the coast, and they gathered belongings and additional seeds to yet plant along with what had started growing there, and they left.
Those who stayed in that first settlement with Parlakar saw the importance of...
"New homes were built, so that the community went from sixteen homes to twenty-six homes. Then the clams diminished, and became very hard to find. All the food for them to eat had to be from what they were growing then. Some were discontent about that, and there was arguments that grew in...
The next day, after many chores being done, more needed after the great storm that seemed to have damaged much there, the group starting this small community gathered again at the center with the fire there, for all the things they would tell each other that day. Hillariah had her story, with a...
Jecharon said, "It conveys the idea to not grow further with new homes made for any there. We can see that. But this story to be passed on to younger ones further on from any of us here now, it might need to be showing that more clearly, that it would be understood by those still. I will would...
Hillariah went on. "It was remembered that with the earlier arrival to this place where the first settlement of Dedarmia was built there were squirrels and many birds seen among the trees. But as the settlement grew those animals had left, there would be no chance to catch any now, since there...
"This unoccupied land they came to, where they started with building their own homes, they named for that one leading them there, calling it Dedarmia. They ate from the provision from the food forest, as well as what they could grow there. Yet some went on to that great body of water seen...
The children were put to their sleeping space not much later, and both Hillariah and Jecharon gave thought with time apart from one another to the stories they wanted to have developed enough to pass on to others. Before they themselves grew too tired, Hillariah said, "I might have something I...
They all finished the meal where they ate together. It was then that Jippera wife of Tenaspir announced that she was quite sure that she was pregnant. All were happy for her, yet talk about the delivery of her child did not continue long as all were interested in what the coming sign to them...
Argon said, "So that means that because you were able to communicate with certain creatures around here with understanding, our community can continue in peace through future generations without threats from any of the wildlife all around us here."
Jecharon said, "It would go that way as long...
Jecharon said, "The creatures around here never had even any suggestion of a threat to us, but we did have to be careful. I think what we should see is that if we are never threatening to any creatures around us, they will not be threatening to us. We must always continue this way with leaving...
It was as the group of individuals grown and very young of this early community saw as they are together in the circle around the fire pit that was used in heating their food, there were three of the big hairy creatures that walked upright, walking by within sight. This was as close as any of...
Seeds and nuts were some of what was brought, along with fruits and berries they had growing right there. It was more than what had been available the day before, when there was so much affected from the recent great storm. Now they could use these things to eat for the earlier part of the day...
The produce in the garden was now showing, so Deseradar, Jecharon and Hillariah went there for each to gather some of it. Soon others of this settled group came and joined in gathering what was ready for it. There was a lot still that would mature later.
Hillariah then told the others of the...
Both Deseradar and Fisepel spent time when there children went to sleep considering each to their own self what they could put into their stories that they worked on.
The next day when all in that household were awake, Deseradar opened up the entry at the front, and seeing it was bright and...
Ingahuel, their daughter, said, "I would like knowing something you already thought for it. Can you tell us what it is?"
Deseradar answered, "You remember in the morning that underearthworm was seen above the ground after all the heavy rain we had earlier? With thinking of what story I might...
Others there agreed, and ideas for what might be used in any further story being developed were traded around. Soon after the gathered people of this small settlement departed to each go to their own of the simple homes that were recently built, and had lasted through the great storm that had...
"Once the bag was pulled all the way up out of the canyon from above, Jaffa then climbed out herself, that same way. So they were out from the canyon before the huge snake returned. They both went on the way back to their home, with that filled bag and the woven rope. They had seen that where...
"The sisters slowly lowered themselves briefly behind the berry shrub where they had peeked through the branches, to be more out of sight, and stayed still, not moving at all. There would be no way they could overcome such a huge snake, and it would be all over if the snake found them.
"They...
