• 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.

Why Adventist need not be ashamed, and wear their Adventist icon in the forum!

I think everyone that was baptized should set aside their differences and put on the Adventist icon especially with everyone soon or already coming in from all different denominations.
What is that supposed to mean? It almost slipped through under the radar.

yep, I mentioned this issue before... the fact that the church does not take kindly to its name or symbols being used without permission... but hey, what do I know....

Tell em you have 'special dispensation' from Red, and I'll make a few calls for favors and call in a few favors and smooth it out......;)

I don't think that they'd find any harm in what we were doing. :) Nor the fact I have the icon on my blog to proudly show what faith I am. I'm not using it in a negative way at all, nor am I causing them any issues. I see nothing in the rules that counts out these reasons.

Of course...correct me if I missed something.

Dont worry, I put in a message to the GC lawyers and told them I would call in the 'chits' on all those basketball games with my guy as referee, and they said its 'all good'.......:D

It is how the symbol is being used; we're not using it to make a profit off of it, nor do I suspect that most of those who use it do so to decieve others as to their true beliefs.

Sure. In business school we only had to take one course in business law and you do pick up stuff watching the news, reading the news magaizines, the news papers and watching shows like Law and Order ...

I'd still like to argue against the idea that while one cannot drink and drive, one can drink (both parties were as they said "high as a Georgia pine") and make a binding contract!

Why would you want to do that? It is not mental acuity that is at issue in the operation of an automobile but reaction time and control. A contract requires a meeting of the minds.

Well its hard to have a 'meeting of the minds' if they are drunk as skunks and stinking up the joint as they slide under the tables......;)

That is left for the finder of fact to determine. IAE, it has nothing to do with drunken driving.
