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.
"Eva and Jaffa watched between the thickly leaved branches of the berry shrub among many more of those. Jaffa had been right, the snake was returning and was in sight soon. The snake was wide bodied and its length was more than the heights of Eva and Jaffa together. They remained still and did...
"Not hearing an answer right away, Eva dropped the carefully woven rope to the bottom of the canyon, and then she climbed down along that same way that they had used, for the easiest access. She left the rope right there as she wandered around along the way where they had gathered. Then she...
"Jaffa tried throwing one of those bags already tied now, that she had filled while gathering. But it was a bit harder to throw as high, and Eva was not able to reach it, and it was coming down again, even after several attempts. They both realized it could not be thrown up to where Eva could...
"Eva and Jaffa decided ultimately that Eva should hand both her bags to Jaffa and then climb out with using her free hands. Jaffa could then throw up the bags one at a time for Eva to try to catch those. They twisted the tops of the bags to tie them to close the bags. Eva did manage climbing up...
Fisepel went on after a moment of consideration, "They both found it steep enough to be a bit challenging. Eva and Jaffa had to consider that they could climb out again, and went on when they figured out how they could. Then they found there was abundant growth of edible fruits that they would...
Fisepel said then, "I have been working out a story too. It probably needs much more development still, I just thought of basic things for it."
Jecharon said, "You can still tell us what you have for it, we already will understand you do not have it all finished."
"Alright. Two sisters, Eva...
Jecharon then asked the community all sitting together that evening, the grown-up and the children, "What do you think of telling this?"
Solima said, "It is quite sad. I guess I was hoping for something to share and pass on that would be rather happier."
Jecharon said, "What might be expected...
"Albared and his family found a home by a lake. A few others made their homes there. The homes faced the lake, protective walls were built behind them. Early on it was a dozen homes, with space between them. The children among them grew up in their time, they would marry among each other, and...
The harvesting of their growing food was more productive that next day, and much wood dry enough to be useful was collected, mostly for firewood. More of them took part in this, no one thought they were ready for more construction, that would still be needed soon.
Jecharon told a story at the...
It was Solima who suggested that they make up stories to tell the children yet to come, with the lessons for how to live shown through them. It was good thinking, and the others all agreed. Lesson telling stories would be made among them.
So much was still damp, that there would not be construction being done this day, but now many more of the hands had been gathering, that there would be plenty to eat this day. By the afternoon enough of dry wood had been found still, and a fire was going then, which was used for heating up some...
There was lots of time given to gathering, though it was some olives, many berries, and dandelions and some other flower petals in addition, that they knew were good to eat. So when the gatherers returned to the settlement later in the day, they knew they would have enough to eat that day of...
Alverten said, "Then other beings exist just as the underearthworm does, which we would never see, and it is only because of the unusual heavy rain that such one was encountered."
Hillariah said, "That is right. The underearthworm lives where we would never see him. There probably isn't going...
Almost all were barefoot now. It made sense to not get stuck in the thick muddy spots that would hold on to the sandals being worn. Even shoes would get stuck.
Hillariah told all there now about the revelation that came to her. They had to accept that there were unknown creatures, some would be...
The young sons in their simple home, Tenamod and Oriden, heard about the revelation from Yahweh right away. Yet soon enough they all went out as needed, where they could go gather of olives and berries in the area, and to check the walled garden area for how vegetable plants were growing now if...
When Hillariah was up again, Jecharon her husband was awake, and she told him Yahweh had come and spoken with her, and told her that the community should know there were many more creatures from Yahweh than what any people put in this world would ever know about. Some were hidden, as the...
Hillariah asked, as she had learned she could do when Yahweh came and would speak through a vision to her, "Is the underearthworm then dangerous to us?"
"No, the underearthworm is intelligent to know you may understand his communication, and make some sense of what things you mean. He may then...
That night all in this group making a new small community here did not go to their beds of woven blankets hungry, but they still wanted more food than had been available to them that day.
Yahweh came with a revelation to Hillariah again. She heard, "There are many creatures in the world you are...
The long rain had really drenched this area of the settlement. There were firmer spots in many places, especially around the wall surrounding all the plants they hoped would still grow, where the underearthworm had been, but had burrowed again later in that day. But there were many places left...
The huge creature, the underearthworm, continued to be around the wall, going along it on the outside of the garden with drenched plants all around in it, seemingly needing to feed right there. Those watching soon decided that their plants they needed to have growing were not threatened by this...
