• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Do NOT make me get my hickory stick out! I am a Southern woman, and I will wash your mouth out with soap. I will send you to the hickory stump, switch your legs, then, tell your father on you.

Uhmmmm anyone else think that sounds kind of...fun? :sorry:

If you really are a
Catholic.gif
, you can get a
Catholic.gif
icon. And if you're not, you can still get it, but you'd be lying about being one. The faith icons now are a way to say "This member self-identifies as a...", just like any other part of the profile. It was always up to the member to decide whether to put true information about themselves in the profile or lie there, and now it also includes the faith icons. It's that simple. :)

To those who seem to think that they can't show how they are salt-of-the-Earth if they have to interact with pepper, garlic, parsley, etc... well... what's the point of being salty if you can't interact without being hidden by other flavours, or can't interact because you are so overwhelmingly salty that no one wants to interact with you? You won't learn from others... and others won't learn from you.

So let's give this new idea a try, and do our best. I think that the Salt of the Earth will be able to show by example if we all just do our best to be kind and turn the other cheek when we have to... and other times, explain ourselves clearly and without anger our opinion :clap: :clap:

Who is winning here right now- God or satan?

I know God always wins in the end.
Small point here just for accuracy: Obviously, "the end" hasn't occurred so none of us can know anything about it. You've been taught God wins in the end and you believe what you are taught. ;)
