• 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.

I honestly didn't imagine this could or would happen.
Take the willingness of some people to exploit a child, and then add modern communications technology and you have the recipe.

some of my more distant relatives have a family church cult -more like tax evasion scheme going on. it wasn't too bad, i think some of the adults didn't take what they were teaching the children to be that serious,

but i remember my dad's sister complaining about how their 12 year old at the time (probably 30 now) believed he was a prophet, and could do no wrong.

i can only imagine what is going on in this 8 year old's head.

You never saw the documentary on Marjoe, who was a kid evangelist/grifter back in the late 60s/early 70s?
