  • 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.

Haven't you ever heard that polka...

In heaven there is no beer
That's why we drink it here
And when we're gone from here
Our friends will be drinkin' all the beer!

Bridget,
If you ever do cut it, think about donating to Locks for Love.
It never seems long enough for Locks of Love, but it might be long enough for Pantene's Beautiful Lengths. It's another one of those hair donation things.

While it is long, it's the fact that's it not long enough in a pony tail since I don't want my hair extremely short.

Stein Auf!
Bridget

Martin Luther on the forums. Now that is a very interesting thought. Can you imagine?

Now whoever wrote that polka about no beer in heaven could not have been Lutheran (or German?).

Katie Luther, now she was one remarkable woman. The first Lutheran Pastor's wife in the first Lutheran parsonage., yet at the time that was not the plan.

Yes, anytime any of you have the chance to go to Germany, make Wittenberg and top priiority stop. I am not finding the website I want but thhis one has some information on it.

When I saw that three more were becoming mods, my thought was are we that unruly?



The Lutheran forum is one of the few forums that can almost go without moderators. You guys are really well behaved. :thumbsup:

But Mods do many other things then just keep the peace, but I don't want to bore you so I'll just tighten up my lip. :D

Even to this day, people are still misunderstanding what Martin's purpose was and arguing.

Having spent an afternoon at the museum in Wittenburg Germany really put things into context for me. I knew it on one level, but being there and seeing and reading really brought it all home for me. Also visited Wartburg Castle and a couple of others. I just want to go back and visit more Luther sites. Sites like Worms, Erfurt and Eisleben.


Wow! koool, I wished could visit there too. But I don't like leaving American soil.

I am sure Jim is...and gets the inquisition stretcher lubricated.

I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition!

So, are your chief weapons surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Or, are your two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Your *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...???????

I had the opportunity to do a trip called "Luther's Germany" during the summer of 2002, back when I was finishing up my degree, and we had made a deposit, and then 9/11 happened, and our deposit was returned. :cry:

It is a training period now. :)

I am sure Jim is getting his whips ready and gets the inquisition stretcher lubricated.


I'm thinking I'll be the one who gets beaten :cry:

Please be gentle with me :p You'll do great Ed. Everyone of you is smarter then I am.

Jim, I am a mod on another forum so I know about what goes on behind the scenes to keep a forum running well.

Flipper, that is too bad, I hope you get another oppurtunity sometime. My son was to go to east Africe while in college, then the whole war in Iraq started along with do not travel to ______ warnings for one of the countries so they did not get to go.

Dr. Luther posting on the forums....hmmmmm....how many warnings could one receive per day before getting booted off the site? Diplomacy was not his strength after all.

I could see it now. His posts aimed at those who failed to grasp his point would look something like:

"You're an idiot.
M. L."

It would definitely be entertaining. :D

When you chaulk up a few more posts you should also apply here if you are interested. You can read the requirements below where it says "Be a Mod" :)

Quick wit comes from birth.
But wisdom comes with age. :)

I am certain that God has chains of commands installed for His purpose.
Being smart has very little to do with that. :)

Thanks, :)
