  • 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.

Is this anti-social behaviour by Church pastor?

Some years ago I joined a celebrate recovery group in a local church.
I sometimes attended the church meetings.

I had my own church to attend.

I'm still friends with the Church pastor, (on facebook) although I don't know her that very well.
I was surprised to see her FB update where she was talking about a game her and her grandchildren
play where they add random products to people's shopping trolleys in supermarkets. The object of this, is to watch random people pick up groceries they didn't select, only to put them through the checkout scanner.
They were not doing it as much now, due to the economic crisis(I am not in America)
but were now choosing to tie the plastic fruit/vegetable bags to other shoppers trolley carts
and watch the plastic bags being torn along.

This woman and her pastor husband hand out free food and vegetables to the community which is a wonderful
testimony but I cannot fathom why they want to play jokes on unexpecting random supermarket shoppers.

It sounds quite childish but I am in shock that a woman in her 60's would be encouraging her
grandchildren to play such anti-social games.

Totally awful. Shame on that pastor and her wife.
