  • 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.

Dealing with a day of work

All but the few small children and Solima and Jippera watching them took part in finding large stones still that they could carry back to the settlement right by where the wall would be set up, and they went farther for those as the large stones right by the settlement had been taken and put to use for all they had been building. This took much of the day. After a midday break where all were refreshing themselves, with more berries and grain, with water too, Jecharon, Deseradar, Argon, and Rigoted were setting up gathered stones along a line for the encircling wall that would be built, and the others who had gathered still did so, until later in the day. Stones then went all the way around the area they meant to enclose, and in one small portion they had set more stones above that row of what would be the lowest layer.
