  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

there were three spiritual leaders in a boat...

one was a catholic, one a christian scientist, one was a ywammer - youth with a mission.

suddenly a massive storm comes up, threatening to throw the three into the sea to their deaths.

the catholic immediately prays asking god what sin he has committed and how many hail mary's he has to say to repent and calm the storm

the christian scientist says i'm not really here, this isn't really happening.

the ywammer calmly prays, god, what are you trying to teach me through this...

Where's the punchline?

I seriously doubt you have if you don't get the joke. It's an old YWAM joke.
I was the accountant for all of YWAM Canada. Worked with director Don Neufeld(RIP) in Winfield and Canada director Paul Martins.

DTS outreach to Guyana SA... went back for 9 months to Guyana. Base shut down for a while the went back to Winfield Canada to become the office admin then accountant.

Shook Dean Sherman's hand when he came to speak.

Yep I did YWAM.

That book is in the barn right now.
Maybe you could just explain your joke.
Sorry I can't help you if you don't understand the joke. I'm not getting paid for my time to explain it to you, I have a movie to work on... :tearsofjoy:

I've been in one of those also.
Look for me in the family zombie movie Fido.
Had my makeup done next to Billy Connolly.

You were not being paid to post the joke either.
So maybe stick to what you are paid to do.

Not my fault you didn't get the joke, it is YWAM leaders who often tell the joke, so go talk to them.

Great you were in a movie, I'll go look for it. :) I'd list all the famous people who are my friends, but they're just colleagues and people at the end of the day and humility matters, something they also teach in YWAM.

you just love the sound of your own voice, stop, get a life.
But you haven't explained the "joke" yet.
And you keep responding to me... so if you were to stop... what would I respond to?

By asking you to explain a joke?

Now that is funny.
You not understanding the joke and not having a sense of humor is a YOU problem, not a me problem.

You seem to have an ego where you get joy attacking others to inflate your own sense of self. Do your responses make you feel like a man?

It's people like you who have pushed out good people in YWAM. Right now Loren is dying with stage 4 cancer. Maybe you should think about your behavior before you continue.

What are you talking about?
You don't know me so why are you assuming all this?
Just explain the joke and everything is done.
You claimed I was not a YWAMer and I told you my history with the organization.
Then you tried to one-up me by saying you had to go work on a movie (as if to say you had more important things to do).
So I swatted you down with another story from my life.
Now you are basically accusing me of being heartless.

How have I pushed good people out of YWAM?
I promote it every time it comes up... otherwise I would not have interacted with your post.
Don Neufeld died of a brain tumor (as I recall) when he was heading up the YWAM Books department in Vancouver, BC.

You don't know me so keep your opinions about me to yourself.
