• 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.

Did you all get that presidential alert?
I got it over my phone and tv almost at the same time. A first and very scary. Impending doom?
Yes, got the test. Multiple devices at once.
no, no impending doom. It was publicized that it was coming well in advance.

It was a test. Very much like the old EBS tests of old on the radio and TV.

These systems need to be tested and done on a schedule. The notice of this was out in the news and various media.

I’m not really a nut job …well maybe….. But nowadays, I always think there is an ulterior motive to almost everything that “they” do.

He's been busy today about trying to cancel student debt. Which would be nice for the younger generation.

It's not a first though. It happened 2 years ago and then 3 years before that. It's actually required to happen at least every 3 years by federal law.
